Swim & Fun Solar Collectors For Hot Water

Description

Do you want to enjoy lovely warm pool water without worrying about rising electricity costs? With the Swim and Fun SolarBoard solar heater, you can raise the temperature in your garden pool by up to 5 degrees in a completely environmentally friendly way. By using the sun's natural energy, the pool water is heated cost-effectively, which extends the swimming season and makes swimming significantly more pleasant. This robust solar collector is made of durable black plastic and is perfect for smaller free-standing, in-ground or integrated pools with a volume of up to 5,000 liters. The panel's integrated support legs provide an optimal inclination of 30 degrees, ensuring maximum absorption of the sun's rays throughout the day.

How the solar collector works

The principle behind the SolarBoard is both simple and ingenious. The pool's existing circulation pump and filter system directs the cold water through the solar collector's built-in pipes. When the sun shines on the black surface, heat is generated and transferred directly to the water before it flows back into the pool. The system does not require an additional power source as it is powered entirely by the standard pool pump. The final temperature increase depends on the number of hours of sunshine, the intensity of the sun and the current flow rate of the water.

Modular design for larger pools

Although a single SolarBoard panel is sized for pool volumes of up to 5,000 liters, the system is completely modular. This means that you can easily connect several solar collectors in series if you have a larger pool or want to achieve faster heating. This way, you can adapt and scale up the capacity completely according to your own needs and the dimensions of the pool.

Tips for maximum heating performance

To optimise the effect of your solar heater, it is recommended to install a by-pass kit together with a thermal blanket. With a by-pass kit, you can regulate the water flow and direct the water away from the solar collector during the night or on cloudy days, preventing the pool water from cooling down unnecessarily. When combined with a practical summer blanket on the water surface and good wind protection, heat loss is minimised, so that the pleasant warmth remains in the pool for much longer.
