The world is warming, and to stifle climate change, people around the globe are making efforts to reduce their carbon footprint. From states banning small gas-powered engines, to car manufacturers dedicating themselves to solely producing electric vehicles, it’s clear that the future is shifting away from traditional energy sources to power the world. As we turn toward a carbon neutral future, it’s important to understand how these changes will affect you and your everyday life. If you’re a pool owner, you might be thinking “How does this affect me?” If you’re a pool owner who currently heats their pool with natural gas, these changes could have profound effects on your life.
Natural Gas is a Pollutant
When it comes to going carbon neutral, the goal is to eliminate all carbon dioxide emissions, or at the very least, offset them with alternative power sources. While natural gas doesn’t contribute as much carbon dioxide into the atmosphere as oil or coal, it’s still a large contributor to carbon emissions that ultimately creates harmful greenhouse gases in our atmosphere. As the world begins to look toward alternative energy sources, we’ll see a push to decommission machines that produce harmful pollutants and replace them with more sustainable machines, such as solar! As of now, 21 of the 52 states have made 100 percent clean energy goals for the future*. More states are likely to make the same commitments over the years to come.
Solar pool heating systems produce zero carbon emissions as they’re powered entirely by the sun and your pools existing pump. Not only that, but they’re sustainable and require minimal maintenance for them to continue operating for as long as 20+ years. When it comes to achieving zero emissions and making major changes to our worlds energy sources, swapping your heating for solar pool heating is taking a step in the right direction to ensure your pool is prepared for the future.
Natural Gas is Fleeting
As we mentioned, solar pool heating is sustainable, but natural gas heaters on the other hand are far from it. Natural gas is a fleeting resource that will eventually deplete. These resources will become less available and more expensive over time making it more, and more difficult to effectively and affordably heat your pool with natural gas. Solar energy will always be here and utilizing solar doesn’t actively consume any resources, meaning it’s uses are boundless so long as you maintain your system.
A large part of achieving carbon neutrality is seeking sustainable resources to replace the fleeting ones we’re currently using. Installing solar pool heating to your pool is an uncomplicated way to get ahead of the curve and start using a heating method that will be here to last.
