solar heating for hot tub
« 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.

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.

If you can't sell it on eBay, it may not even qualify as landfill.
