Direct Solar Radiation

The round design provides optimum absorption characteristics, even as the sun moves overhead.

 

Direct Conduction

Transfer of heat from the roof to the water is obtainable due to the fact that the water channels are in direct contact with the roofing materials.

 

Roof Re-radiation

The round section polypipe design allows stored energy to be radiated directly from the roof to the water channels.

 

Reduced heat barrier

The round thin walled design is both strong and durable. Yet it reduces the heat barrier which often occurs with odd shapes and thick materials.

Increased Swimming Season

The length of the home swimming season can be increased considerably without fuss at an economical price. The unique design of the heater adds a new dimension to outdoor entertainment. The system can be installed in a few hours by the average handyman, or your local distributor can arrange installation. Save on initial purchase, as all components of the system have been produced to the highest standards against a cost effective base. Don't forget, with our unique system you can extend the panel at any time with ease.

System Diagram

Water is pumped from the pool (in most cases your existing pool pump will suffice) to the bottom manifold

(1) up through the absorber pipes
(2) and into the top manifold
(3) where it is returned at a higher temperature to the pool. Correct flow rate and return fall is critical for an efficient system.

Required Absorber Area

It is recommended that a minimum of 75% of pool surface area should be installed to effectively extend the swimming season. Ideally, a shade free North-East to North-West aspect is required (southery orientation in the northern hemisphere), although lack of an ideal orientation can be compensated for by increasing the absorber area.
