Solar Pool Heating Systems

This is how solar pool heating works

Our state of the art solar pool heating systems include the following components that amplify benefits such as cost and energy savings.

• Solar Collector: this is a device that circulates pool water that is heated by the sun.
• Filter: this effectively removes debris from the pool water before it's pumped through the solar collector.
• Pump: This important function circulates water through the filter and collector before returning it back to the pool. 
• Flow Control Valve: This device can be automatic or manual, and is essential for diverting pool water through the solar collector.

For the heating magic to happen, the solar collector surface area must be between 60% and 100% of the surface area of the pool.

This is dependent upon factors such as the climate and the months when pool use is most prevelant. The pool is the storage tank, with the pool's filtration pump circulating the water through the collectors to warm it up.

An unglazed flat plate collector is often utilized, including a pool cover or blanket to prevent heat loss and help maintain warm pool temperatures for an extended period.

How can solar pool heating benefit you?

Solar pool heaters can be much more cost effective when compared to both gas and heat pump pool heaters due to extremely low annual operating costs. And, when you choose solar energy, you’re taking a step towards reducing the carbon footprint in your home by depending on clean energy from the sun instead of fossil fuels.
