No, practically speaking.
It is true that the action of the pump will generate some heat by friction - rather in the manner of Joule's classic experiment to determine this link - but what little is generated will be lost rapidly from the surface, especially in an outdoor pool.
[Joule set up paddles on a shaft in a barrel of water, rotated by a system of weights, cords and pulleys; and measured the temperature rise over many cycles of operation. By painstakingly repeating the test many, many times and endeavouring to account for frictional and direct thermal losses, he established the essential conversion of mechanical energy to heat. The unit of energy is the Joule, in his honour.]
What else can I help you with?
Do black bottom pools keep water warmer then a normal pool?
Yes. We had a black/brown pepple tec installed over our stained concrete pool and it does make the water a little warmer. Not significantly but noticeble enough to enjoy a quick dip.
Will a dark pool liner make the water warmer?
Absolutely. After replacing my white liner with a dark blue one I notice a difference of 5-10 degrees in the pool water depending on the amount of sun we are getting.
WHAT IS Re-Circulating Pump?
It is a unit that takes water and pushes it through the filter and returns the water back to the pool.
What is the best care for swimming pool?
One of the best ways to prevent problems with your swimming pool is by running the pump and circulating the water. The best care for the pool varies depending on the type of pool you have but keeping proper water chemistry is important for any pool.
How does a pool cover affect the heating of the water in a pool?
A pool cover helps to retain heat in the water by preventing heat loss through evaporation and convection. This can help to keep the water warmer and reduce the amount of energy needed to heat the pool.
Why is sea water warmer than swimming pool water?
Well, large bodies of water take longer to heat or cool than land does, so a swimming pool will be a bit cooler... ... I think so....
Why is the wear so warm ina saltwater pool?
it is an illusion. salt water pools have softer feeling water and may put you under the impression that it is warmer. however there is no difference between a salt water pool or a fresh water pool.
Why does the concrete around the swimming pool stay warmer than the pool water?
The concrete around the swimming pool tends to stay warmer than the pool water due to its thermal properties and heat retention capabilities. Concrete absorbs and retains heat from sunlight more effectively than water, which has a higher specific heat capacity and can cool down more quickly. Additionally, the shallow layer of water in the pool allows for faster heat loss through evaporation and convection, while the concrete remains insulated from these processes. As a result, the concrete can feel noticeably warmer, especially in sunny conditions.
What pool color will keep the water warmer?
nothin to do with the colour ; it depends on the weather and also the chemicals mixed with it
Will running the pool pump prevent freezing?
Yes, running the pool pump can help prevent freezing by circulating water and preventing it from becoming stagnant, which can lead to freezing in cold temperatures.
What is the purpose of a pool drain pump and how does it help in maintaining the cleanliness and circulation of the pool water?
The purpose of a pool drain pump is to remove water from the pool, which helps in maintaining cleanliness by filtering out debris and circulating the water to prevent stagnation. This process helps in keeping the pool water clean and clear by removing dirt, leaves, and other contaminants, and also ensures proper distribution of chemicals for sanitation.
You are scheduled to winterize the pool next week but wont use the pool from now on so can you turn off the pool pump now to save on running costs?
Sure you can turn off the pool pump, the water won't be circulating anymore but since you are not using the pool it does not matter. Make sure the outside temperature is above freezing until winterizing because non moving water freezes earlier than moving water. Here is my blog on how I handle my pool: http: //live-efficient-green.blogspot.com/2009/07/pool-with-no-harmfull-chemicals.html
