What Is Solar Pool Heating?

Solar pool heating is a term that implies a system of products designed to heat a pool, using the suns energy. Certain systems pump pool water through tubes heated by the sun and others serve as mats or blankets that cover the pool surface. Some systems also heat the water as they are exposed to sunlight while insulating the water during evening hours.

A solar pool heater is a device that uses solar energy derived from ultraviolet (UV) radiation from sunlight to heat swimming pool water. Pool water is pumped through solar collectors where heating takes place. The heat is transferred from the solar collectors to the water.

The warmed pool water is then routed back to the swimming pool to create a warm swimming. experience.

How Does Solar Pool Heating Work?

1. In a solar pool heating system, the existing pool filtration system pumps pool water through the solar collector.

2. The collected heat is transferred directly to the pool water, therefore, no operating costs are incurred.

Solar pool heating triples the swimming season by increasing the pool temperature up to 15 degrees warmer than an unheated pool, from the end of February until the end of November. The months from December-February are not consistent with this type of heating because days are much shorter and cold fronts are more frequent.

Solar pool heaters use thermal energy from our sun to heat the pool water. The system controls a valve that diverts water away from the pool and to solar collectors whic heat the water. This heated water then flows back into the swimming pool to warm it up.

Types of Pool Heating

Solar Pool Heating

Triples the swimming season by increasing the pool temperature up to 15 degrees warmer than an unheated pool, from the end of February until the end of November. The months from December-February are not consistent with this type of heating because days are much shorter and cold fronts are more frequent.

Pool Heat Pump

These units are essentially air conditioners that work in reverse. It only requires energy to operate a compressor and a fan motor using low amperage in the process. The most efficient units produce up to 6 times more heat energy than the power it consumes. The average cost is $85-$160 per month.

Pool Gas Heating

Gas is intended for a spill-over spa, which generally holds 500 gallons of water. If you chance heating the pool (10,000-15000 average) you will discover the cost to do so can easily reach $400 for one week of operation.

Solar Pool Heating FAQs

How Do Solar Pool Heaters Work?

Most solar pool heating systems include the following:

A pump – the pump circulates water through the filter and collector and back to the pool
A solar collector – the device through which pool water is circulated to be heated by the sun
A flow control valve – automatic or manual device that diverts pool water through the solar collector.
A filter – removes debris before water is pumped through the collector.

What Is A Solar-Heated Pool?

A solar heated pool utilises purpose-built solar panels to absorb heat from solar radiation. Solar pool heating is a convenient and cost effective way of heating your pool from the sun’s energy. A solar heated pool is one heated as per your desired temperature, the one you set on your solar heating system. A solar heated pool will be warm so you can utilise the pool to some extent in cooler months and even winters as well.

Pool water is pumped through the filter and then through the solar collector(s), where it is heated before it returns to the pool. In hot climates, the collector(s) can also be used to cool the pool during peak summer months by circulating the water through the collector(s) at night.

How Warm Can It Get?

A solar heated pool can reach a temperature of 92 degrees fahrenheit, but remember your body temperature is 98.6 degrees, so you still want to be refreshed, when swimming and not as if you were having a bath.

We find our customers prefer 86 degrees mostly. It is still 12 degrees below body temperature, so it seems to be the sweet spot for most.

How much does it cost to heat a pool in Florida?

The initial investment to install a solar pool heater in Florida is between $3,500 – $4,500 on average and what determines the actual investment is the orientation of the roof, because there is an equation that varies from east, west, and south.

It also varies on the type of controllers you prefer to regulate the temperature to your satisfaction.

What does a solar pool heating system cost?

A solar pool heating system usually costs between $3500-$4500 and there is NO operating cost, because it works off the existing pool pump you already operate. It’s just one more directional route to send the water before it reaches your pool.

The investment can provide a return between 18 months to 3 years, depending on your local fuel costs. They also last longer than gas and heat pump pool heaters. The actual return on investment depends on many factors. Our company provides a free survey that:

Why Choose Solar Pool Heating?

Total solar pool heating installations are over 1,000,000 in the state of Florida. In fact, it is one of the top markets in the state for this type of solar heating.

A solar heating system for pools is the most ideal form of pool heating. The pool water actually flows through the solar collectors, absorbing heat along the way. These systems use your existing pool equipment and don’t require any additional machinery to be added to your swimming pool.

The existing pool filter pump can provide flow to the solar panels. The only requirement is that the filter pump needs to be operated during the day, (10:00 AM to 5:00 PM). This is the time your filter should be operated as it’s the time the pool is most likely to be used.
