solar heating because pool heating is re quired at the time when solar heat is most available In addition the temperature difference of the pool water and the outdoor air is small and un covered

through the collector panels The water is returned either to the pool or to the conven tional pool heater if the temperature rise is insuffi cient On cloudy day the water may be heated directly by the backup or auxiliary heater The collector area required depends upon the temperature at which the pool is operated and the length of the wimming season This will vary between 50 and 100 per cent of the pool area if the surface available for moun ting is facing south Most suppliers offer an in sulated plastic pool cover call ed solar blanket to reduce evaporative heat loss from the surface It can be used over night or when the pool is not re quired Most Canadians heat their homes with oil furnaces In conventional oilheating furnaces heating comes by mixing spray of oil droplets with air and
