Is a solar pool heater a viable option over a heat pump or gas heater?
The initial cost of a solar pool heater is similar to that of a quality electric heat pump or gas heater, and often less costly if you need new electrical circuits or gas storage. Solar pool heaters will operate for 10-20 years with no additional operational costs, unlike heat pumps and gas heaters that require costly electricity or fuel. Heat pumps and gas heaters are likely to need replacement at least twice in the lifespan of one solar pool heater, and require maintenance.
In simple terms, how does a solar pool heater work?
Swimming Pool Solar Heater works by using the existing pump that circulates water through your filter, pool water is diverted so that it flows through the many small tubes of the solar panel. While passing through the solar collector, water is warmed by the sun, before returning directly back into the pool. When your pool has reached your desired comfort level, the solar collectors are bypassed and pool water is circulated as usual.
How automatic is a solar pool heater?
Completely. All you do is set your pool pump’s time clock or automation system to run during the daylight hours, then set the solar pool heater’s automatic control temperature indicator to your preferred temperature. The control system takes care of the rest. Sensors compare the temperature at the solar collectors with you pool water temperature. Whenever the solar collector temperature is warmer than your pool water, the control system adjusts a motorized valve to divert pool water through the solar collector panels if your pool is not at the desired temperature.
