SOLAR OUTDOOR POOL HEATING
Solar pool heating is a very effective use of Solar Energy because pools are heated to relatively low temperatures and require a hugh amount of heat. The system uses a very simple unglazed plastic collector that is perfect for this application. It is impervious to pool chemicals and at these low temperatures, is actually more efficient than a glazed collector. 90% of all the heat required by a pool is from losses from the waters surface. This is why solar pool systems are sized according to surface area and why a pool blanket is so effective. There is simply no cheaper way of heating your pool.
COST: Dependent on pool size but usually, an installed price of about $12 per sq. ft. of pool area for a pool that gets full sun. Automatic control costs approx $500.

Pool Heating with Solar is the most widely used, cost-effective and energy efficient use of solar in the world.
Compared to Gas or Electric, your solar pool system can pay for itself in 1 - 2 seasons.
REQUIREMENTS: If the pool is in full sun, collector area should equal at least 50% of the surface area of pool (400sq.ft. of solar collector for an 800 sq.ft. pool). If the pool is shaded, more collector area is required. An area that receives full sun (usually the roof) facing south to southwest.
