Their solar heating system allows you to capture free heat from the sun’s rays to effectively raise your pool water temperature. And their solar panels are designed for easy DIY installation and they can increase your Intex pool’s temperature by as much as 15 degrees Fahrenheit. How To Heat An Intex Pool – Final Thoughts High efficiency solar collectors not only will reduce your annual operating costs, but may also require fewer square feet of collector area to heat the pool. Comparing Solar Swimming Pool Heating System Costs Heat pumps work by either using both electricity and your surrounding air or by electricity and a water source.

It can also be measured by Btu per day, which is simply the rating in Btu/(ft 2day) multiplied by the area in ft 2. Also used is kWh per day, which is the rating in kWh/(m2day) multiplied by the area in m2. If operating costs are a concern, then getting a solar heating system or using a heat pump is what we will recommend for you.Therefore, they can be used year-round in many climates. Glazed collectors also can be used to heat domestic hot water year-round.

Intex Pool Solar Mat is a swimming pool heating system that uses environmentally friendly solar energy to heat up above ground swimming pools. Can increase the water temperature with approximately 3-5 Celsius degrees (PLEASE NOTE: Heating performance varies depending on weather and ambient conditions. Works only if it is sunshine, will perform best in the summer months. Most of the heat is lost at night time, so using a pool solar cover will help reducing the heat loss). Easy to drain, easy to store. Simple hook up, compatible with filter pump water flow rate less than 5,678 litres / hour (1,249 gallons / 1,500 US gallons - see table below), for pumps with higher flow rate, an additional bypass system can be used to reduce the flow (not included). 3 x 1 square meters (11 square feet) surface to absorb the sun's rays. Constructed of heavy duty UV stabilized PVC. Suitable for above ground pools up to 6,600 gallons 8,000 US gallons (30,280 litres). Dimensions 1 pcs flat, before fill 47" x 47" (120cm x 120cm). Includes 3 x 1.25" (32mm) hose attachment points, 3 x adaptor A and B for 1.5" (38mm) hose connection, 3 x 0.5m (1.25"/32mm diameter) connecting hose, 3 x Bypass valve, 15 x hose clamp. Box of three solar mats. Poolsolar will not be liable for conditions resulting, from significant deviation from Poolsolar installation instructions. If you live in a warmer climate, we suggest getting a solar cover or blanket first and test it if it’ll be sufficient to heat your pool. You can also benefit from using multiple solar mats from Intex. Solar system contractors use worksheets and computer programs to help determine system requirements and collector sizing. Shown below is the minimum and optimum number of rolls required. For above ground swimming pools we have reduced the amount of solar collectors by 20% to allow for heat absorption through the steel wall structure.Both glazed and unglazed collector systems must include freeze protection if they'll be used in colder conditions. Selecting a Solar Pool Heater Poolsolar will not be liable for conditions resulting from any misuse, abuse, negligence, accident, or alteration of the solar collector. Poolsolar will not be liable for conditions resulting from a defect in a component or part which is not part of the Poolsolar will not be liable for consequential damages to you home or other equipment, loss of time, inconvenience or loss of use of the solar collector.

You can then calculate a collector's energy output per dollar spent or invested using this formula: For example, a 15-by-30-foot outdoor swimming pool in Florida typically requires a collector that equals 100% of the pool's square footage to accommodate year-round use. This equals 450 square feet of collectors. In northern California, most people use outdoor pools 6–8 months per year, so they typically size their systems at 60%–70% of the pool's surface area. Poolsolar will not be liable for conditions resulting from fire, lightning, floods, winds, accidents, animal damage or other conditions above our control. For those living in warmer climates, using solar covers to heat your pool might be enough so you won’t have to buy an Intex pool heater anymore. Solar pool heater collectors should be oriented geographically to maximize the amount of daily and seasonal solar energy that they receive. In general, the optimum orientation for a solar collector in the northern hemisphere is true south. However, recent studies have shown that, depending on your location and collector tilt, your collector can face up to 45º east or west of true south without significantly decreasing its performance. You'll also want to consider factors such as roof orientation (if you plan to mount the collector on your roof), local landscape features that shade the collector daily or seasonally, and local weather conditions (foggy mornings or cloudy afternoons), as these factors may affect your collector's optimal orientation. Collector TiltBasically, the surface area of your solar collector should equal 50%–100% of the surface area of your pool. In cooler and cloudier areas, you may need to increase the ratio between the collector area and the pool surface area. Adding collector square footage also lengthens the swimming season.
