Solar Pool Heaters

Solar pool heaters provide a safe and efficient way to heat up pool water. These heaters are unique because they use the sun's rays to produce heat and electricity. This makes them a cost-effective and environmentally-friendly choice for heating pools of any size and type.

Both in-ground and above ground models are available, and these can be used for any size pool.

Benefits of Solar Pool Heaters

Solar Pool Heaters The primary benefits of installing a solar heater in your pool include:

  • Heating the pool to a natural, comfortable temperature
  • Environmentally-friendly energy from the sun
  • Reduced energy and heating costs compared to standard electricity
  • Adds value to the pool investment
  • Solar energy is more economical in the long-Term
  • Clean, quiet, and safe source of energy
  • Low maintenance costs
  • Long lifespan

How Solar Pool Heaters Work

Solar energy from the sun's rays provide a very powerful resource of energy that can be converted to electricity. Solar heaters work so effectively because of their construction and easy energy transfer.

Solar heat is accumulated in a solar collector through the absorbent surface of the heater. The water then flows through the absorber and picks up the heat. In addition, flat panels along the pool are designed to absorb any sunlight rays that hit them directly, and there is a strong circulation system through the entire pool.

Other Considerations

Heated pools can offer some extensive benefits for pool owners and users. They increase the value of the financial investment, but also allow year round enjoyment of almost any pool. Even when the sun is not shining, there is still enough solar energy to heat a pool sufficiently.

Solar pools offer lower operating and maintenance costs than gas or exclusively electric heaters, and the large panels are designed to heat large volumes of swimming pool water up to 100 degrees.
