It’s Water Safety Month In Florida

Water safety month is about the education and awareness of water safety and to help raise awareness to keep swimmers safe from drownings and other water-related injuries and accidents.

What is a heat pump? This question is one the geothermal experts from Symbiont Service Corp in Englewood, Florida answer all the time. Another question they answer is, “should you upgrade the heat pump?”

First, to explain what a heat pump is; it’s an effective and energy efficient means of heating and/or colling a home or a commerical business in Florida. As with all HVAC systems, a heat pump will eventually need to be replaced. A heat pump will typically last for close to two decades. The longevity of your heat pump will depend on how well you maintain it over its lifespan.

If your heat pump is reaching the twenty-year mark, you may be considering a heat pump upgrade or replacement.

Geothermal energy has been utilized for decades although it may still seem like a new technology or way of heating and cooling homes, pools and commerical buildings. The geothermal heating experts from Symbiont Service Corp spend time with their customers explaining the ins and outs when they ask, “how does geothermal work?” 

Geothermal energy only represents a fraction of the overall energy market in total usage. This renewalable energy source is efficient, clean and once the system is installed will cost a fraction of the cost other energy sources, like electric. 

How Does Geothermal Work?

Even though geothermal energy useage is on the rise in North America, it still lags behind other countries. Sweden, for example has outlawed the use of other forms of energy in favor of geothermal. In fact, Sweden has completely eliminated the use of oil.

We’re back for part two of our Jupiter pool heater source pump control upgrade. We’ve finally installed the variable frequency drives and wanted to show you the new system that’s up and running today. If you missed part one of this message, you can view it here.

When the pumps come on, they come on in succession until they reach the desired pressure. This way, the units don’t exceed manufacturer specifications for pressure.

The beauty of installing the VFDs include the soft-starting capability I mentioned before, as well as the ability to set the pump by pressure. Also, if you run a pump at 80% speed, you’ll save 50% on your electrical consumption. Not only will the drive protect the unit it saves on energy consumption and extends the life of the pump.
