Spray Foam Insulation Case Studies: Falls Church Pool Insulation with Spray Foam
Challenge
Heated pools can have challenges holding their water temperature if some of the pool wall is above ground. This Falls Church VA homeowner wanted to reduce the energy they were using to control the pool temperature at different times a year. After talking to our Home Performance Sales Pro Jason, a plan was put in place to help bring this project to life.
Solution
Jason recommended removal of the foam panel insulation that had originally been installed to help insulate the pool. The paneling was not only lacking an air seal but it was allowing for insects, dust and moisture to mix in with the pipes and mechanics of the pool system. Using spray foam to seal up all of the spaces that were able to be treated without impacting the ability to service and maintain the pool, a better insulation performance was able to be achieved. Eliminating the ability for external air and temperatures to directly contact the pool walls. This will help keep the pool water at the intended temperature for longer and will reduce the need to heat as often as it had been, therefore lower the energy costs for the homeowner.
