Intex Solar Pool Heater Mat - Efficiently Raise Water Temperature by 3-5°C | Suitable for Above Ground Swimming Pools | Eco-Friendly & Cost-Effective Solution

Product Information

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. Alternatively, if you were happy with the level of heating your old PVC tube system produced and want the equivalent amount, use approximately 90% of the area, so for example if your old PVC tube system was 40m², use 36m² of the PoolMaster pro™ strip. Distance from the House – How far away is the pool from your house? If it’s significantly far, then exchange heaters, best served on the roof, maybe less practical.

Poolsolar will not be liable for conditions resulting from a defect in a component or part which is not part of the You can determine the efficiency of a solar swimming pool heating system based on the collector's thermal performance rating if available. A solar collector's thermal performance rating is measured by Btu (British thermal unit) per square foot per day: Btu/(ft 2day) The most effective position for Solar matting is facing south. This will allow the matting to draw the absolute maximum of FREE heat from the Sun. The Solar Heating System can be placed on a suitable roof, on a framework or if necessary just laying on the ground and unlike most of the other Solar Heating products on the market the high quality E.P.D.M Rubber used ensures that yours will last for years and not be damaged by Frost or Snow. PoolSolar has been designed and used effectively in the colder climes of Northern Europe for over 30 years. Unlike other brands that come from Southern Spain or Florida & California Pool Solar has been constructed to transfer the most heat possible from the weakest Sun's rays. This will allow you to heat your pool getting the optimum heat transfer from the Solar Matting.Top feed system configurations are not recommended for frost prone areas - use bottom feed only. See manual for definition of "top feed system". This varies wildly, but most of them merely require a frame to be put together, and lines connected. A lot of them don’t even require this, simply needing to be fastened and lines connected. Which one is the best? Personal Experience

It can also be measured by Btu per day, which is simply the rating in Btu/(ft 2day) multiplied by the area in ft 2. Also used is kWh per day, which is the rating in kWh/(m2day) multiplied by the area in m2. Solar panels set up on the ground are both easier to install and to adjust. However, they do take up a fair amount of room. If you want to install on top of your house, you will of course have to consider the direction of your roof. No matter where you decide to install the panels, they will need as much sun exposure as possible. If you don't have enough exposure, you will have to invest in more solar panels to make up the difference which will of course mean more costs. Temperature – Do you just need a little bit of heat, or do you need to actively put a lot of thermal energy into it? If you live in a warmer, sunnier place like California, heaters like these don’t have to work very hard, but other parts of the world with unpredictable sunlight, they have to work harder and provide more heat too.Honestly, I’ll recommend electric every time, as solar power is the very definition of unreliable. But, in really sunny places like California, you can see savings from using solar. The solar heater works really well. The solar cover helps a lot too, but the heater, actually, you can feel warm water coming out, even after an hour of it running. I thought it would be warm at first and then dissipate. But it, actually, stays one which is pretty amazing and sometimes in the morning, when this doesn't even have Sun over here." Under standard conditions, you need to take only half of the surface area dimensions of your pool as a guide for how much solar matting you require. In this guide, you’ll learn everything about solar pool heaters you always wanted to know but were afraid to ask! We’ll answer the questions like how they work, what the benefits are, things to look for when shopping, as well answer some frequently asked questions that bothered consumers.
