Product Information

Solar system contractors use worksheets and computer programs to help determine system requirements and collector sizing. Poolsolar will not be liable for conditions resulting from any misuse, abuse, negligence, accident, or alteration of the solar collector. Both glazed and unglazed collector systems must include freeze protection if they'll be used in colder conditions. Selecting a Solar Pool Heater Ok so that's not hot tub temperatures but it really has made our pool more enjoyable than last year with out the mats. If you’re an existing swimming pool owner who finds themselves constantly burdened by excessive utility bills, then harnessing the suns energy to provide you with a free source of energy is an exceptional alternative.

The size of your pool will determine how much solar matting is required (please see the tables above for details). Where do I fit the Solar Mat? 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. Basically, 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. A solar collector's thermal performance rating is measured by Btu (British thermal unit) per square foot per day: Btu/(ft 2day)The BTU that you need will highly depend on your pool size. The larger it is the higher BTU your pool requires for your gas heater. Glazed collector systems are generally made of copper tubing on an aluminum plate with an iron-tempered glass covering, which increases their cost. In colder weather, glazed collector systems—with heat exchangers and transfer fluids—capture solar heat more efficiently than unglazed systems.

I've not got around to covering them with clear plastic or even better glass which always makes solar collectors work better due to limiting losses due to wind and light rain showers....

You can determine the efficiency of a solar swimming pool heating system based on the collector's thermal performance rating if available. Therefore, they can be used year-round in many climates. Glazed collectors also can be used to heat domestic hot water year-round. I also have some concerns about longevity - the mat creases quite a bit where the inlet and outlet pipes join, especially the bigger bypass valve on the inlet side (though that is a useful feature) and I can see that with weathering, it's likely to split there, where it would be very difficult to repair. I don't plan to leave it out any longer than we're using the pool of course, and hope that with care it'll last a few years. Read full review Essentially, PoolSolar Solar Matting can be installed almost anywhere you want – directly on your lawn or on a roof (subject to height and pump size). If you’re installing PoolSolar Matting on a ground surface i.e. for small above ground or splasher type pools, then please be aware that PoolSolar isn’t designed to be walked on! Solar Matting Location Examples Don't choose a solar pool heating system or collector based solely on its estimated costs. When selecting a solar pool heater, it's also important to consider all of the factors involved in the system's sizing and quality of the design and installation. Building Codes and CovenantsSome systems include sensors and an automatic or manual valve to divert water through the collector(s) when the collector temperature is sufficiently greater than the pool temperature. When the collector temperature is similar to the pool temperature, filtered water simply bypasses the collector(s) and is returned to the pool. Your pool heater is a vital machine in keeping your Intex pool water swimmable for you and your family even during the cold months. It keeps your pool warm for a better swimming experience. Choose a company that has experience installing the type of system you want and servicing the applications you select.

Solar Mat for Above Ground Pools - INTEX

It works by utilizing your installed solar panels to transfer heat from the sun to your pool by letting your pool water pass through them. An inexpensive way to heat your pool is by utilizing solar covers or blankets. These are made of plastic material that’s designed to retain the heat from the sun or the heat produced by your pool heater. In a nutshell, the Solar Matting is pre-fitted to PVC manifolds which are connected to each other (and must be plumbed directly to the swimming filtration plant). Water is pumped from the pool, passed through the filtration plant and then moved through strips of E.P.D.M Quality P.V.C Solar Matting which absorb heat from the suns rays, thus suitably heating up the water of your pool as it passes through.So, for South East and South West facing positions in cooler climates, then heating from the solar matting should be increased by 35-45%.
