How does a solar swimming pool heater work?
A solar pool heater is simple to operate and doesn’t change the way you operate standard pool equipment. Solar collectors are usually mounted on the roof of your home or other structure such as a shed or garage. This is the least expensive option and doesn’t take up extra space on the property. When suitable roof space is not available, collectors can be ground-mounted on a rack. The existing pool pump is used to circulate water from the swimming pool through the solar collectors and back to the pool. On sunny days, an automatic controller diverts the water to the roof by a motorized valve. The automatic valve uses special temperature sensors to determine when the solar collectors should be used.
