Swimming Pool Solar Panels
prolong your pool season
Solar Panels for above ground swimming pools are a great way to extend your
swimming season by several months each year. Use these pool solar panels
with a solar pool cover and possibly a pool heater and you will be swimming year
round.
These units are quite easy to install. They attach into the return
line. The hose going from your filter back into your pool. You just
need to lower the pool water level below the return. Hook the return hose
to the solar water panel and add a second hose back to your pool return.
Your existing filter powers these units so you have no additional electric
output.
Solar
heaters for above ground pools are becoming more popular every year.
It was not long ago you had to make your own or adapt a standard
house unit to your pool. Now they are made by several
manufactures and include all of the hardware needed to attach to
just about any above ground filter system.
Adding extra swim time
each season or adding a few more degrees is as easy as adding
another panel. They can be mounted on a roof, next to the
pool, in a field or hanging from a fence.
If you do need to install the unit a long distance from the pool
a separate pump is recommended. Otherwise your existing filter
pump is all you need.
The
Sun Heater is a good economical choice for your first solar pool
heater, or an add on to an existing system. Below are a few
selections from In The Swim. Don't forget the
solar cover to hold all that
heat in at night.
Solar panels are good for a lot more than just heating an above
ground pool. Learn all about
