Solar Pool Heating

How it Works

A commercial solar pool system is really quite simple. You’re using the sun’s energy to heat a solar collector full of solar fluid, which then transfers that heat through a heat exchanger into the pool.

When there is sufficient heat to be drawn from the collectors, a controller automatically activates the solar pump. Heated solar fluid is then circulated from the collector, through a heat exchanger where its heat is transferred to the pool water circulating in the pool filtration system. The solar fluid is then pumped back to the collector to once again be reheated. This circulation loop will continue as long as there is heat to be drawn from the collector. During times when there is little or no sun, a backup heating system will be activated to provide adequate heating of the pool water.
