Do you remember the bowls of porridge in the Goldilocks and the Three Bears fairy tale? When Goldilocks tasted them all, she thought one was too hot, one was too cold, but the baby bear’s porridge was just right.
Arizona pools can be like bowls of porridge. We like them warmed up in the winter, when they are too cold, but in the summer, they get too hot. What if they could always be just right?
“They can,” said Chris Quam, owner of Arizona Pool Guy Inc. “The same heat pump technology that heats and cools your home, can also be used to heat and cool your pool. You actually can chill your pool water down 10 to 15 degrees during the hot summer months, and keep your pool warm all during the winter,” he continued. ”If you already have a pool heater, you can add a device that just cools your pool. It costs only pennies a day to operate, and runs on household current.”
Chris recognizes the fact your pool is a big investment in family recreation. “If you can’t use it comfortably year-round, you’re missing out,” he said.
Another benefit to lower pool temperatures is cooler water uses less chlorine and other chemicals than warmer water, saving you money. “A 10-degree drop in water temperature can result in a savings of 20 to 25 percent on summer chemical consumption,” Chris claimed. USA Swimming and the Mayo Clinic websites suggest water temperatures should be no higher than 86 to 88 degrees for safe exercising and lap swimming.
“Our units also provide digital controls that can be used with a wireless remote system,” Chris stated. “You can heat your spa during the day, and then switch to cooling your pool at night, when the air is cooler. It’s very easy to operate.”
