Solar Pool Heating System

Solar Pool Heating System

Heat Exchanger Solar Pool Heating System compared with traditional solar pool heating. We advocate the use of closed-loop solar pool heating systems with glazed panels for pools to extend the pool use season and to maximize your money and energy savings. The higher annual output of glazed systems by 30-70% depending on wind factors and outside air temperatures compared to unglazed pool heating systems such as polyethylene pool heaters is substantial. Making pool heating affordable and green at the same time.
Please be advised that the the initial higher investment will pay itself much quicker and is therefor the most economic way for year round pool and jacuzzi heating. For seasonal pools, unglazed collectors perform actually on par with their glazed counterparts as seen in the chart in the hot summer months, when pool heating is least needed. Even in Southern California and San Diego area a glazed Absol-In28 Collector heats also during colder months saving you lots of electricity or gas to heat your pool year round. The diagram figures below show system outputs for a 1,200 sq. ft array of our flat plate collectors vs. the average plastic pool panel calculated with an F-chart solar output simulation.
This pool is 1,500 sq. ft. without a cover and located indoors. The annual output of the glazed collectors is 38% greater for Los Angeles and 68% greater for Denver. This shows clearly that the unglazed collectors rely on ambient air temperatures to heat the pool.

The chart simulated output for a 1,200 sq. ft. solar array on a 1,500 sq. ft. indoor pool maintained year round at 82 F.

Our favorite pool heating is with Absol Solar collectors, here is why:

  • Significantly greater solar thermal power output for year-round applications.
  • Complete freeze protection without the need for sloped piping runs.
  • Requires flow rates that are only 1/4 that of unglazed systems – using smaller pumps that use less electricity
  • Complete isolation from pool chemistry for increased collector life and odor free warm pool water.
  • Use of heat exchanger eliminates diverter valve and adds almost no head requirements to existing pool pump.
  • Maintanance free with, connections are permanently sweated instead of problematic interconnects with plastic panels.
  • Higher wind load ratings to 180 MPH.
  • Ease of mounting as the collector frame-wall is a structural member.
  • Longer lifetime without time consuming repairs.
