12 How Does a Solar Pool Heater Work? 1 2 Select your desired high-limit temperature on the system s automatic control. Using your existing pump & filter, a motorized valve diverts poolwater to the solar panels. Our system is worth its weight in gold. Frank S. - Weston, CT 2 Your pool water moves through the 3 solar, absorbing the sun s free heat 1 before returning to your pool. 3 In a Hybrid Pool Heating System an existing fossil-fuel heater can work in conjunction with solar, giving you the ultimate in swimming comfort control.

13 System Sizing Criteria Available Sunshine The solar collectors should receive full exposure to the sun for most of the day. Size of Your Pool Required solar collector area is calculated as a percentage of your pool s surface area. Desired Season How long would you like to use your pool? Average Seasonal Pool Temperature A properly-sized solar pool heating system will raise your pool temperature and can double your swimming season. UNHEATED POOL (Assumes use of pool blanket when air temperature is below 60 ) No more gas bills and lots more swimming!. Mr. M.

15 Evolution of Solar Pool Heating 1970s - Square Tube-on-Tube Earliest effort at polymer solar pool heating system. Thicker tube-walls result in low efficiency. Tube separations due to expansion & contraction. 1980s - Round Tube-on-Tube Round tubes & thinner walls meant higher efficiencies. Buckling & weakening due to expansion & contraction. 1990s - Loose Tube Separate tubes eliminate stress from expansion & contraction. Spaces trap leaves and debris between collectors & roof, also results in decreased performance from wind. Today - Tube-and-Web Designed to handle extreme expansion & contraction while providing maximum solar collector surface area. Vents are often incorporated to combine wind-load relief benefits of loose tube collector with the surface area of a full plate. [11] Copyright Aquatherm Industries, Inc 5/11 [14]
