Product Information

Thank you for visiting Pool Pro - Everything for your pool or spa Your UK pool store for pool supplies, hot tub supplies, and new hot tubs, swim spas or swimming pools. 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. 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.

Hybrid panels are more efficient at producing electricity than photovoltaic panels of equivalent power, so there is a double benefit to heating a swimming pool with hybrid panels. or just collector " Replacement Kit" - for people that just need to replace their old PVC tube collectors on the roof Our thoughts on using solar mats for swimming pool heating: A cost-effective solution. However, it seldom suffices to adequately heat a swimming pool when used on its own. It works best when combined with a bubble tarp. Heat pumps

Poolsolar can also be used to supplement other methods of pool heating

This is the most commonly used pool heating method in France. It refers to either an air-to-water heat pump or a ground-to-water heat pump. Thus, the warmer the weather, the less energy it needs to perform its heating functions. Prices vary from country to country. For instance, according to the June 2019 EDF “blue price” grid with a basic rate option, the cost of running a filter pump in France would be €0.17/kWh x 1260 = €214/year. When considering that electricity costs are relentlessly increasing at an estimated 3.03% per year, the average electricity consumption cost of a thermal solar installation is €370/year for 20 years. With this in mind, we cannot recommend solar swimming pool heating highly enough. For one, it makes sense. For another, it is economical. Last but not least, it is environmentally-friendly! Solar heating makes sense

Top feed system configurations are not recommended for frost prone areas - use bottom feed only. See manual for definition of "top feed system". Solar mats, also known as above ground solar pool heaters, are basically flexible solar panels that are designed to be rolled out. They are easy to install on any flat surface whether you want to set up on the roof on the ground. Theoretically, solar matting can even be walked on. Disconnect the water from the heater, and drain it, make sure it’s dry, and cover it with an insulating tarp. If you live in a place where it freezes, do not try to solar-heat your pool in the winter. Long and thin means 5m long x 1m wide, short and fat is 3m long x 1.33m wide. Decide which length suits you and then decide how many boxes you need or how many you have room for.Below is the manufacturers recommendations for how many boxes for various pool sizes. Did you know that the ideal water temperature for swimming pools lies between 26 and 29°C? To achieve this, you will need to rely on a swimming pool heating solution.

How do I install a PoolSolar Matting Heating System?

Calculation Example (Children’s Play Pools) : Circular pool, 8 foot diameter (2.44M diameter). pool diameter X pool diameter X average depth X 0.79 A. Yes, for a flat pan style gal roof, however for better water flow and leaf clearance we recommend it sits on top of the valleys, hence runs across the roof.

Yes, solar pool heaters work well in the UK; they can still absorb UV rays through cloud cover. However, they are usually supported by a solar cover to help retain the heat overnight. What Size Heat Pump do I Need for My Pool? Poolsolar will not be liable for conditions resulting, from significant deviation from Poolsolar installation instructions. This also varies widely depending on the amount of water, the surface-to-volume ratio, and the size/volume of the heaters in use. Sheet heaters on a pool’s surface tend to raise it by about 10-15 degrees, sometimes more on a really sunny and hot day.The first is a thermal heat-creating technology. In a swimming pool setup, it is used to directly heat the pool water. The filtered pool water flows through the hybrid panels and the panels heat it up. This technology extends the swimming season by up to 3 months a year. Thermal solar panels do not generate electricity for the swimming pool pump (unlike hybrid panels).
