In the UK, unheated swimming pools only reach a pleasant temperature for a few days a year. Installing a Poolsolar swimming pool solar heating system will enable you to increase your pool temperature to a pleasant level that will result in you enjoying and using your pool more than ever before, and what's more, it's free.If you are an existing pool owner who already has a pool heater in some form or another and are fed up with paying excessive utility bills, then utilising the sun's energy for free with Poolsolar is an ideal alternative. Poolsolar can be attached to any existing filtration plant. What better way is there than using the sun's energy to heat your pool.
 
How does PoolSolar heat up your pool ?
By simply passing filtered pool water through strips of E.P.D.M quality P.V.C Solar Matting which is heated by the sun's rays. The matting is pre-fitted to P.V.C Manifolds that are connected to each other.The manifolds must be plumbed directly to the filtration plant. The amount of Poolsolar you require
will depend upon the size of your pool. (see chart for details)
Where is the best place to install the PoolSolar System?
Pool Solar can be installed almost anywhere - on theroof of your house, garage, porch, summer-house, pergola or directly on the lawn. The only important requirement is a sunny place i.e. south facing to ensure maximum heat absorption. Under normal conditions you need to use only half the surface area of your pool as the collector surface i.e. a 30 x 15' pool is 450 sqft, therefore approximately 225sqft of Pool Solar matting is required. For south-east and south-westerly facing positions in cooler climates the Poolsolar matting should be increased by 35-40%.
FIVE YEAR WARRANTY
All PoolSolar systems have a five year warranty as standard.
EPDM RUBBER
EPDM exhibits outstanding performance characteristics. Its durability and flexibility to lay over contours and shapes makes it ideal for hiding on roof areas.
Features & Benefits
- E.P.D.M. rubber membrane has excellent tensile and elastic properties.
- Excellent weathering and UV resistance.
- High resistance to soil components, plant and roof penetrations.
- Remains flexible in extremely high and low temperature.
SITE LOCATION
The Poolsolar solar collectors should be positioned facing the sun
as much as possible for a maximum efficiency, ideally 30 degrees
(above horizontal) facing South.
A maximum working pressure should not be above 1.5 BAR (22psi).
A solar heat retention cover must be applied to the swimming pool
overnight and when the pool is not in use to prevent heat loss.
If installing PoolSolar swimming pool solar heating system on a ground surface i.e. for small above ground or splasher type pools please be aware that Poolsolar is not designed for heavy foot traffic.
Make sure that all pipework to and from the solar collector can be
drained for the winter period.
We would recommend the use of a time clock to automatically turn
off the filtration system at night or bypass the solar system.
Alternatively, an automatic control system can be installed.
Please take sufficient safety precautions before working on a roof.
There's nothing simpler than installing the Poolsolar system.
It can be assembled by any DIY enthusiast.
The self-assembly Poolsolar swimming pool solar heating matting is supplied in either a 4 or 5m kit box and contains all the necessary components for you to install a solar collector. In addition you will need pool plumbing and, for
roof installations, adhesive and support angles.

Poolsolar Sizing Chart?
Some pool sizes result in requiring an additional half box, but this is not possible to supply. Therefore, we have shown the minimum and optimum number of rolls required. For above ground swimming pools we have reduced the amount of solar collectors by 20% to allow for heat absorption through the wall structure.
Note. You will need to purchase enough solar matting to cover 50% of the pool surface area. If a solar cover, solar sun rings or a heat retention cover is not to be applied overnight you will need to double the quantities below. |
