CONTROLLING HEAT LOSS

A good way to control heat loss is to slow the wind speed through your pool area by placing plants such as shrubs or bushes around the pool's perimeter. Plants will break up the air flow and diffuse the wind speed. If the pool area is to be fenced in, choose a wood shadow box type design.

A solid type fence or wall does not act as a good wind break. They tend to create a wind spoil (vortex) across the water surface increasing air turbulence and heat loss. Pools located in windy areas such as water front, golf courses or open fields will experience greater heat loss.

COVERS SAVE TIME & MONEY

As discussed on the previous page, the greatest heat loss is at the water surface. The very best way to reduce heat loss (and operational cost), is to cover the pool or spa.

Covering the pool or spa during the initial heat up time will help the pool get to the desired temperature much faster. If properly used, a cover can lower your total operating costs as much as 50%. Covers reduce evapo- ration, thus you will save on pool chemicals and fill water usage as well.

TYPICAL POOL BLANKET & ROLLER

Using a pool cover can be somewhat cumbersome but they are worth the trouble in regards to the great cost savings. Covers are sometimes referred to as blankets or solar blankets.

WARNING

NEVER SWIM WITH POOL COVER ON. Swim- mers can tangle easily in the pool cover and subse- quently may result in drowning. See manufacturer's Safety Precautions before using.

SPAS HEATING TIPS

It is strongly suggested that you use a cover during the initial heat up time. This will save time as well as elec- trical costs.

When heating a spa make sure that there are no air bubbles coming from the air blower or hydrotherapy air inlets. The air bubbles will dissipate the heat into the air and prolong the heating time.

Electric air blowers inject cooler outside air into the spa and will lower the temperature. You can shorten the heating time of your spa by shutting off any air injec- tion devices until the spa is up to the desired tempera- ture.

If you have any health problems, high blood pressure etc., consult a doctor before using a hot water spa. You should get out of the spa and cool off every fifteen min- utes. Do not consume alcoholic beverages while using the spa. To prevent drowning, do not use the cover while in the spa.
