Upper Mount Gravatt State School has recently transformed its pool heating system by switching from solar pool heating to advanced heat pumps. This strategic decision was made to boost heating power, particularly during the fringe swimming months.
With the installation of IPH60 and TDI 35 units, the school ensures that students can enjoy a comfortable swimming experience.
Enhanced Comfort and Longer Swimming Seasons
The new system maintains a consistent pool temperature of 28°C from September to April, significantly extending the swimming season. This improvement offers numerous benefits, including longer periods for students to engage in swimming activities in a comfortable environment.
Thermal Pool Covers: Combining Efficiency and Conservation
The recent addition of thermal commercial pool covers plays a crucial role in this upgrade. These covers help retain heat, reducing energy consumption and minimising water loss through evaporation. By keeping the pool warm when not in use, the school not only saves on energy costs but also enhances its sustainability efforts.
Commitment to Sustainability
As part of the school’s commitment to sustainability, these upgrades contribute to a more energy-efficient facility, promoting ecological awareness among students. The transition not only improves the swimming experience but also demonstrates a proactive approach to environmental responsibility.
With these exciting changes, Upper Mount Gravatt State School is set to provide its students with a superior aquatic experience throughout the year!
