Title: solar heating for hot tub
Post by: st18901 on October 21, 2005, 09:13:54 pm

Has anyone here had any experience with heating a spa via a solar heater?

How has it worked? what is the cost, what are the pitfalls.. you know, everything.

Thanks.

"Has anyone here had any experience with heating a spa via a solar heater?"

Yup...... Mine was heated with solar for a few years.

"How has it worked?"

It worked... but was in combination with the domestic water heating

"what is the cost"

$5000 - $8000

"what are the pitfalls"

You never make up the cost of the solar installation in energy savings.
