Campolindo High School (DSA Project)
Maktinta designed and installed a solar pool heating system at Campolindo High School in Walnut Creek, California, in 2016, providing year-round heating to three Olympic-sized swimming pools. This project, recognized as the largest solar pool heating system in the United States, features 470 EchoSpark solar pool collectors. As a DSA-approved project, it meets the stringent standards set by the Division of the State Architect.
The system is managed by the TEK Aquatic Pool Management Controller, which seamlessly integrates the solar components with the pool's existing infrastructure, ensuring optimal coordination between the boilers, chemical treatment systems, and filtration processes. This integration guarantees efficient and reliable pool heating while maintaining water quality.
By harnessing solar energy, the school significantly reduces its reliance on traditional heating methods, achieving energy savings of up to 75% annually and cutting carbon emissions by approximately 292 metric tons per year. This project exemplifies the effective application of solar thermal technology in large-scale aquatic facilities.
