How it's Working
Swimming pool heating solar system has following components:
- A solar collector
- A filter
- A pump
- A flow control valve
Pool water pumps through the filter and then goes through the solar collector, where the heating takes place before it is returned to the pool. In Summers, the collectors are also used to cool the pool by circulating the water through the collectors at night.
Some pool heating solar system includes some sensors and a valve to divert water through the collector when its temperature is sufficiently greater than the temperature of the pool. When the collector temperature is similar to the temperature of the pool, filtered water simply bypasses the collectors and is returns to the pool.
