Enjoy more of your swimming pool or hot tub
The pleasure of a swimming pool or hot tub is of course when the temperature of the water is correct and stays correct. The Aquastove is a heating system design in Holland that works on wood. This is a simple and cheap heat source to heat your swimming pool or hot tub to the temperature you desire.
The advantages of the Aquastove
There are many heating systems available, but they all use solar energy, gas or electricity. The disadvantage of solar energy is obvious: no sun equals no heat. And it is at times when the sun is not shining, that you could perhaps do with having slightly warmer water in your pool.
A swimming pool must be a pleasure. Without any additional heating swimming pools and swimming ponds can be used perhaps 2-4 months per year. Heating a swimming pool in the spring and autumn can be very expensive. With an Aquastove you can extend your bathing fun – starting in early spring and ending late in the autumn, especially on times the sun is not shinning. There are people that heat there swimming pool even in the winter with an Aquastove up to a temperature of 27-28º.
The Aquastove has a large capacity. It heats one litre of water, per second 6-8 ˚Celsius. Of course, it will depend on various factors such as the pump that you are using, the amount of wood, type of wood, dryness of the wood etc. Most energy is given by soft wood species that provide a big flame into your Aquastove instead of hardwood that smolders.
It is possible to use the Aquastove on many ways also in an existing setup. The Aquastove is so easy to connect to the existing filter system by using a bypass. But you can also use the Aquastove with a little pond pump by connecting it with a hose directly to your pool.
