Product Information

A. At present unfortunately no we do not have installers as we ship around Australia. However, our manuals are very comprehensive and cover most situations and issues. There is also unlimited tech support available. Most handymen/tradespeople can install our systems. From what we hear, solar pool heating installs are very seasonal, hence most specialist pool heating installers are run off their feet during the install season, this means they charge an arm and a leg for poor rushed installs. Our advice is if you can DIY safely or source a trusted installer that will take his/her time, you will save a great deal of money and headaches. The angle at which a collector should be tilted varies based on your latitude and the length of your swimming season (summer or year-round). Ideally, collectors for summer-only heating should be tilted at an angle equal to your latitude minus 10º–15º. Collectors for year-round heating should be tilted at an angle equal to your latitude. However, studies have shown that not having a collector tilted at the optimum angle will not significantly reduce system performance. Therefore, you can usually mount collectors flat on your roof, which might not be at the optimum angle but more aesthetically pleasing. You will, however, want to take roof angle into account when sizing your system. Determining the Efficiency of Solar Swimming Pool Heating System Poolsolar will not be liable for conditions resulting from a defect in a component or part which is not part of the 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.

Solar panels can be installed on the ground or on a roof. If you choose to install on a roof, you can use the roof of your house, an outbuilding or even your shed (provided it is big enough). Provided they receive enough sun exposure, solar panels will usually be able to generate enough energy to heat any size of pool, even large pools. Please note that you may require planning permission to install solar panels on the roof of your home which will not be the case if you install on the ground.

Matt Lundquist: "We're use the Intex solar heater. This is a mat style, it is roughly four foot by four foot, it's like 47 inches and it comes with the map. It comes with one hose. This hose is about 2 foot long. And it's the engine, and quarter diameter comes with a diverter valve the that's on the mat itself and the valve diverts the fluid away from the solar array. 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.

Box of three solar mats. Warranty – Obviously, you want a good warranty on these, because there are a lot of things that can go wrong – don’t worry, I’ll tell you all about that in a minute. You'll also want a properly sized pool pump for a solar system. If you're replacing a conventional pool heating system with a solar system, you may need a pump larger than your current one or a separate, smaller pump to move the pool's water to and through the collectors. Siting a Solar Swimming Pool Heater's Collector Another problem, which is why I said they’re theoretically low-maintenance, is the algae here. It’s in the air, and you don’t notice it, until it grows on window screens, in pools, and yes, in those hot, incubating solar panels as well.

Pool Function – Is this a leisure pool? Then you’ll want it between 88-90 degrees or so. This sounds hot, but for water, it’s really not. If this is an exercise pool, you’ll actually want it a bit cooler, as this encourages circulation and locomotion Between 78-85 degrees. The thing with water is, it doesn’t store heat very well for long periods of time. This is why water heaters for your home plumbing have to actively maintain the hot water supply, and why it can be depleted by too many people taking excessively long showers.PoolSolar Solar Matting is specifically designed for pools in Northern Europe so is ideal for the UK. This makes it one of the best options of Pool Solar Heating currently available. PoolSolar is so effective it is even used in Commercial applications. We have been selling PoolSolar for many years for the simple reason that our customers rate it so highly. When sized correctly PoolSolar will see your heating bill slashed if not totally wiped out. PoolSolar is easy to Install and works just as well on its own or in conjunction with Heat Pumps, Gas or Electric heaters. Manual Kit" - runs through the filter lines, can be used to set up a Manual/Timer System with a 3-way and non-return PVC ball valve (can be motorized/automated later) In turn, they’re energy savers despite the need for pumps in most cases. A pump is fairly power-efficient with modern engineering. This depends on the type of pool. Honestly, look at your gallon count, and your form factor, and compare that to a given pump. There is no answer to this question that’s true for everyone.
