There are various types of solar heating systems but the most effective systems use inert black plastic polymers that cannot be corroded by pool chemicals or eroded by water. Special designs with individual tubes allow the roof to breath and dry out. These designs also allow for reduced wind load and the need for a complicated mounting system.

The pool pump operates the solar unit at the same time it pumps water through your filter therefore solar heating units are always incorporated into an existing filter circuit. The size and power of the pump will determine the maximum number of panels used to ensure adequate flow to your solar heating unit.

The following environmental and physical factors will be taken into account to determine the size of area covered by solar panels:

The recommended method to install solar panels is to install continuous rows. Change in the level of the roof or a skylight will require your supplier to split the layout and panels will be linked by pipes.

The heat of the water depends on the amount and intensity of sunshine (solar energy from the sun) you will therefore have cooler water in cold and rainy weather.

Solar pool panels should face north or be mounted on a flat roof to ensure optimum efficiency. Additional panels may be required if this is not possible. Very high pitch roofs and a pool that is shaded more frequently will definitely require supplementary panels.

• Location of your swimming pool
• Whether your swimming pool is shaded
• Surface area of the water to be heated
• Wind factors
• Pool temperature required
• Direction and angle whereby the solar panels can possibly be mounted
