How Well Does Solar Heating Work?

A properly sized and installed system will raise pool temperatures up to 10°F during the season. You will only want to circulate water through the solar collector when the sun is shining. When it's cloudy or rainy, solar won't work as well (and you probably won't be swimming during those times), but your water will be back up to temperature after one or two warm days.

Do I Need A Special Pump?

If your pool pump is in good working condition, there shouldn't be any problem using your existing pump. A one HP pump will handle installations up to 30 feet away from the pool equipment and one story up. If the collectors are cool to touch when the water is running through them on a warm sunny day, you are getting enough flow.

Where Can I Put The Solar Collectors?

Anywhere you get at least 6 hours of full sun during the day. The longer the collectors are in full sun, the better they will work. If you are mounting the solar on an angle (like a roof or rack), the collectors should face in a southerly direction. For roof or rack mounting, you'll need 1 SK-43 for each solar box. For high wind areas, we recommend one SK-34 High Wind Kit for each collect.

What Tools Will I Need?

• Flat head screwdriver or 5/16" (8mm) nut driver
• For roof or rack mounting you will also need:
  • Power drill
  • 1/8" (3 mm) drill bit and a Phillips head bit
  • Silicone sealant (GEII or equivalent)

What additional parts will I need to install the solar system on a roof?

• 1 SmartPool Mounting Kit SK-43 for wach solar box. High wind SK-34 for each collector in high wind areas.
• You will need the correct amount of 1 1/2" (38mm) Schedule 40 PVC pipe for the plumbing, going to and from your pool equipment.
• You will also need PVC primer, glue, and fittings (available where you buy PVC pipe).

What additional parts will I need to install the solar system on the ground or on a rack?

• For a ground mount installation you will require 2 hoses - one that will reach from the pool equipment to the collector and one that reaches from the collector back to the pool.
• For a rack mount installation you'll need SmartPool's mounting kit SK-43. For high wind areas you will need one SK-34 for each collector.

How much will the solar system weigh when filled with water?

• Each S421 solar box (2 Collectors) will weigh approximately 80 lbs. when filled with water. There is very little additional load on your roof since the weight is dispersed over a large area.
