Mr. Gerardo Araya lives in Empalme, and chose Purasol to install a system to heat his swimming pool using vacuum tube technology. He is very pleased with the savings the project is generating:

“Before I heated the pool water with an electric heater and I often had to pay more than 100,000 colones, which was a big monthly expense” he said. “It was also impossible to get any return of investment – I was just spending all this money on energy. That was why, when I heard of the technology Purasol was offering, I decided to make one single investment with which I can recover money in the future as these systems are able to save you money in the long term.”

Empalme has changeable weather, and for Gerardo Araya and his visitors, entering the cold water of the pool was somewhat uncomfortable. He says that “when we entered the pool the water was very cold and we could barely enjoy it”, whereas now “the water is comfortable and we can enjoy a very good swim”.

For Mr. Gerardo, a lover of renewable solutions, there is an added bonus in installing a system that helps the environment as well as helping him to save money. That is why he advises everybody else who has such an expense to implement this technology, and he has also kindly offered to receive you if you would like to see the system he has installed.

Mr. Gerardo highlights the efficiency of Purasol’s service. “This is what gave me the confidence to invest. I like their responsibility and flexibility: any time that I have had a doubt or a query they have kindly assisted me or visited me in person.”
