Solar Pool Heating - How It Works
The concept of using solar to heat your pool is simple and easy to install: investing in a solar pool heating system allows you to produce your own heated pool with no noise, no air pollution, and no moving parts while using a clean, renewable resource. A solar pool heating system works with existing pool equipment and will never run out of fuel, and it can help reduce the amount of greenhouse gasses emitted by natural gas powered water heaters and drastically reduce the amount of electricity used to traditionally heat your pool.
The process of how solar pool heating works is simple. Cold water is pumped using the existing pool pump (or a new one is installed) from your pool through the solar panel where it is warmed by heat collected from the sun. The warm water is then pumped back into your pool giving you luxuriously warm water and plenty of extended swim time.

The control valve sets the desired water temperature
The sensor reads the temperatures and then knows when to activate the system
The pool pump pushes cold water from the pool to the solar collectors
The suns rays, or natural energy, heat the solar panels or collectors
When the system is operating, water channels through the solar collector to absorb maximum heat from the sun
Warm water is returned to the pool for perfect swimming conditions
