Does a solar pool heater work.

If it s raining however or cloudy with low temperatures running the solar pool heater is best avoided as it can actually cool the pool. How they work most solar pool heating systems include the following. Solar heaters are completely dependent on the sun for their heat which means heating can be interrupted by clouds or even the time of day depending on the position of the sun. Solarcraft s solar pool heating systems work seamlessly with your pool equipment and are fully automated.

After the heating process the water is then pumped back to the pool. A solar collector the device through which pool water is circulated to be heated by the sun a filter removes debris before water is pumped through the collector. You set the desired water temperature on the solar control and when solar energy is available at the solar collectors an automatic motorized valve diverts the water through the solar collectors and carries the suns heat back to the pool. It works best on bright sunny days but even on overcast days where the sun rarely makes an appearance it can still pull some heat out of the air on a warm day.

Solar heaters are not ideal for pool owners who want a quick heat option for their pools or hot tubs.
