Solar Pool Heating Kit For Above Ground Pools
Using the pool pump, water is automatically pumped through the solar collectors. The water is then heated as it moves through the collectors. The heated water is returned back to the pool through the return fitting.
NOTE: This solar heater is an aid to swimming pool heating and may be used in conjunction with other methods of heating the pool water in unpredictable seasonal weather conditions.
Each kit contains:-
- One 2ft. x 20ft. solar panel
- Two end stops
- One connector hose
- Two jubilee clips
- Two 1.5" threaded connectors
- One roll of PTFE tape
- One instruction leaflet
For every additional panel an extra connector hose is required. A Hardware Bag is available to allow you to store the panels when not in use.
Mounting kits are also available for fixing to a roof or rack. High wind mounting kits are also available. One kit per panel is required.
The Diverter Valve Kit allows the water to bypass the solar heating system and just circulate in and out of the pool.
The following number of kits per pool are recommended:-
ROUND POOLS
12ft. Round- 3
15ft. Round- 4
18ft. Round 5
24ft. Round 9
OVAL POOLS
16ft. x 10ft. 3
12ft. x 24ft. 6
12ft. x 32ft. 8
WOODEN POOLS
4m Octagonal- 3
5m Octagonal- 5
6m Octagonal- 6
4m x 5.9m- 4
4m x 6.9m- 5
4.6m x 8.2m- 7
2.4m x 3.9m- 3
NOTE:- The pump supplied with your pool may not deliver sufficient flow-rate to circulate around the pool. For long pipe runs and for where the panels are elevated onto roofs etc this will almost certainly be the case. In these instances a booster pump or larger pump may be required. This kit is not suitable for use with pool pumps of 1/3hp or higher- please contact us for details of our high pressure solar systems.
