Polypool heat retaining swimming pools
Insulated Swimming Pools
By Polypool Below is a diagram of how heat is lost through the walls and floor of a traditionally built pool, such as block and concrete shell construction.
Typical Block swimming pool As you will see heat is lost through the walls is continuous and is dissipated into the surrounding soil, this is dependant on three basic facts. 1.Area of the pool walls and
floor. The third factor involves the nature and thickness of the material from which the pool is constructed. Some materials conduct heat better than others do, for example concrete conducts heat faster than insulation. As heat dissipates into the
surrounding soil of the pool structure, so it further dissipates outwards
through the soil and it is reasonable to base the heat flow calculation on a
fairly constant temperature which allows for a steady amount of heat lost
all the time the pool is heated. Below is a diagram of how the Polypool system has been designed to eliminate heat lost through the walls and floor of the pool.
As you can see the Polypool system defies the laws of physics. Below are examples of heat loss from traditional block and concrete pools and Polypool. In wet and dry conditions. The calculations are based on a pool water temperature of 27oC and a soil temperature of 10oC.
