The principles involved in solar pool heating are very simple. Imagine a garden hose that has been lying in the sun for several hours. When you turn on the tap, out comes hot water. That’s solar heating: the sun’s energy has been absorbed by the hose and transmitted as heat to the water inside it. The hose acts as a solar collector.
The Collector is the first functional element of a solar pool heating system. Sunlight falling on the collector heats it, just as it heats the water inside. It is usually installed on a north facing surface apart from the pool, on the roof of the house or garage, on a patio cover or specially built structure.
The other components of a solar heating system are: The storage, where the heated water is stored. In a pool system, the pool itself stores the heat. The Distribution System, which delivers the warmed water from the collector to storage. When the filter and pump are running, a pool system simply circulates the water from the collectors to the pool and back to the collectors for more heating.
The Controls, the devices which regulate the flow of heated water to the pool and back, according to the prevailing solar conditions.
