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.
