FREQUENTLY ASKED SOLAR POOL HEATING QUESTIONS
FREQUENTLY ASKED SOLAR POOL HEATING QUESTIONS How efficiently does solar power heat a pool? Solar energy is simply another option for heating your pool.

On days when you can comfortably lounge in a bathing suit poolside, but the water is too cold to swim, solar energy may heat your pool to a reasonable swimming temperature. How does a solar pool heater function simply? Using the pump that pumps pool water through the filter, the water is automatically redirected via the solar collector's numerous tiny passageways. During its passage through the collector, solar energy is heated. This heated water is then returned directly to the pool. When the appropriate comfort level has been attained, the water skips the solar collector and returns directly to the pool. Must solar collectors face due directly North? Perhaps [...]

A CONCISE GUIDE TO DIAGNOSING AND FIXING PROBLEMS WITH ANY SOLAR POOL HEATING SYSTEM

When a solar system is turned on for the first time in the morning, you should notice that large bubbles are being produced in your pool. This is caused by water exerting pressure on the air within the solar collectors.

When I turn on my solar system, I can see a steady stream of little bubbles emerging from my pool. This is the first indication that there is an issue with the flow. The vacuum relief valve that is located in the top right-hand corner of the solar pool collectors is drawing air in. In most cases, this happens because there is insufficient pressure to completely seal [...]
HOW SOLAR POOL HEATING WORKS

They are competitively priced with both gas and heat pump pool heaters and have extremely low yearly running expenses. In some areas, solar pool heating is one of the most cost-effective uses of solar energy. How They Operate The majority of solar pool heating systems include: A solar collector is the device that circulates pool water via which it is heated by the sun. A visual representation of a solar panel. Each end of the panel has a tube, and arrows indicate the flow through one tube, across the panel, and out the other tube, which is designated the header/manifold. A filter — eliminates particles from water before it is pushed through the collector. A pump — returns water to the pool after passing it through the filter and collection. A flow control valve is an automated or manual [...]
