Capturing the Sun’s Energy
Solar pool heating starts with solar collectors, which are typically installed on the roof or in a sunny area near your pool. These panels contain a network of tubes through which pool water is circulated, allowing it to absorb the sun’s heat and gradually warm up before returning to the pool.
Moving the Water
The pool pump plays a crucial role in the solar heating process by circulating the pool water through the solar collectors and back into the pool. This continuous flow ensures that the water is evenly heated, providing consistent and comfortable temperatures throughout the pool.
Regulating the Flow
To optimize the efficiency of the solar heating system, a control valve is used to regulate the flow of water between the solar collectors and the pool. Connected to a thermostat, the valve diverts the water away from the collectors when the desired temperature is reached, preventing overheating and promoting energy savings.
Maximizing Efficiency
In some solar heating systems, a heat exchanger is employed to maximize efficiency. This device enhances the heat transfer process, ensuring that the pool water is heated quickly and effectively, even on days with less sunlight. By improving efficiency, the heat exchanger reduces energy consumption and promotes sustainability.We believe in making green living accessible and enjoyable for everyone. Roark Solar’s pool heating systems offer a sustainable and cost-effective solution to keep your pool warm and comfortable no matter the season.
