A black bottom pool will be slightly easier to heat than a white bottom pool, but the difference will be very, very small.

Yes, some very small amount of extra energy will be absorbed by the black color and absorbed into the water that would otherwise be reflected by the white color pool, but this small amount of heat is dwarfed by the large amounts of heat that are lost or absorbed by the water due to air temperature, wind speed, evaporation, cover, heating method, etc.

Most people choose their pool color based on design and/or looks and then get a good pool solar cover to help keep it warm (regardless of the color).

How to Plan for Installing an Inground Pool?

An inground pool can be a wonderful luxury for any homeowner looking to provide both a place of entertainment and exercise right on his own property. It’s important to work with a professional pool contractor because most cities have zoning, building and safety and grading requirements. An inground pool is something that will be a permanent fixture, so take your time deciding on just the right spot. The best location is a sunny patch that doesn’t have nearby trees or overhanging tree boughs that will constantly shed leaves and debris into the pool. You also want a location that is within easy access of your house and easy to see from your home for security’s sake. Don’t forget to leave room for a storage compartment or shed where all the pool maintenance supplies can be kept. An inground pool cannot be constructed under any sort of electrical lines or over any sort of water pipes or sewer lines, so be sure you know the location of existing underground gas, sewer and water lines before digging begins. Be sure that the pool location is not in a low-lying area that typically floods during rainstorms or after winter thaw. No matter whether you choose a concrete pool, a vinyl-lined pool or one with pre-formed fiberglass construction, an inground pool requires drains, returns, chemical feeders, pumps and filters in order to operate properly. Special features you may want to consider at the time the inground pool is installed rather than adding these later include decks, screen enclosures, fiber optic lighting and special landscaping effects such as waterfalls or flower gardens. You must also decide if you want an inground pool that will accommmodate diving since this configuration accommodates much deeper water at one end. Also consider if you want an inground jacuzzi placed adjacent to the swimming pool. Some local ordinances require that fencing surround any inground swimming pools for insurance purposes and to safely protect unwanted visitors, children, pets and roaming wildlife from gaining access to the pool when not in use. It’s also a smart idea to incorporate a built-in swimming pool cover into your inground pool budget because this will provide savings in water heating costs as well as a protection from wind blown debris during inclement weather and the winter season.

What is the cost comparison between gas heating and electric heating?

The cost comparison between gas heating and electric heating depends on factors such as energy prices, efficiency of the heating system, and insulation of the home. Generally, gas heating is often cheaper than electric heating in terms of energy costs. Gas heating systems tend to be more efficient and cost-effective in the long run compared to electric heating systems. However, the initial installation cost of a gas heating system may be higher than that of an electric heating system. It is important to consider these factors when deciding between gas and electric heating options.


What heating methods will fail to heat a material that has no moisture content?

Heating methods that rely on the presence of moisture content in a material, such as microwave heating or steam heating, will be less effective on a material with no moisture content. In that case, methods like convection heating or radiation heating would be more suitable for heating the dry material.
