These are the connection types used with high pressure inground pool systems, previously unavailable for above ground (flex hose connected) swimming pools.SYSTEM SIZING: How Many Solar Panels Do I Need?A few different variables should be considered when selecting a solar pool heating system to match your swimming pool. The primary factors are your location (climate), pool size (surface area), and heating goals (how long you're looking to extend your swimming season). Understanding exactly what your goals are will help determine how many panels you need.Solar pool heating systems are sized based on the surface area of your swimming pool, rather than its volume. This is because the primary source of heat loss occurs through evaporation at the surface. If you have a geometrically shaped pool, this calculation is quite easy. If, however, your swimming pool is a "freeform" shape, or a "kidney" shape, this calculation can be a bit more difficult. For pools matching this second classification, satellite mapping can be used to help measure the surface area of your swimming pool (or you can simply give us a call!)Solar pool heating systems are sized anywhere between 50%-100% of a swimming pools total surface area. IE: “50% offset” means you are matching 50% of your pool’s surface area to the total surface area of all your solar panels.If your pool has a total surface area of 240 square feet, 50% offset means you will need a total of 120 square feet of solar panels to heat it.As a reference, a single 4'x10' solar panel has a surface area of 40 square feet, so a system with (3) 4'x10' solar panels has a total surface area of 120 square feet.3-4 Month Swimming Season: If you are only looking to add some additional heating during the summer months (3-4 months of warm swimming pool temperatures), 50% offset should be sufficient.4-6 Month Swimming Season: If you are looking to heat your pool into the shoulder months (4-6 month swimming season), you will want to aim in the 60-80% range.8-10 Month Swimming Season: If you are looking for a full spring-fall season extension (8-10 month swimming season), you will want to aim for 85%-100% offset.EXAMPLE: Swimming Pool Size: 15' (round)Surface Area (Swimming Pool): 176 square feet Desired Heating Goal: 3-4 month swimming season Solar System Offset: 50%Rec. Surface Area (Solar Panels): 88 square feet OR roughly (2) 4'x10.5' panels.THIS DIY KIT INCLUDES:Solar Collector: (1) SwimJoy Industrial Grade Solar Pool Heater Panel - 4'X7.5'Hardware: Includes the hardware components necessary for making water connections to either 1.5" or 2" PVC pipe, OR standard 1.25”/1.5” flexible pool hose. *This package does not include any valves - water will always be flowing through the solar panels when the pump is running. If you'd like to enable this functionality, valves may of course be purchased separately. If you need help sorting through any aspect of your setup or would like assistance selecting which parts you need, please give us a call! We have trained solar pool heating professionals available to help wherever possible! INSTALLATION TIPS TO GREATLY EXTEND LIFE EXPECTANCY:Drainage of the solar panels is critical for keeping systems protected from freeze damage when temperatures drop below 40 degrees Fahrenheit. When the solar panels cannot be installed in a manner that allows for automatic gravity drainage (I.E., when installed horizontally, flat, or on a ground mounted surface near pool level) the system should be connected to an automation system with freeze protection enabled OR manually drained of all water when temperatures drop below 40 degrees Fahrenheit (temperature at which freeze damage may begin to occur). This is an extremely important aspect of solar pool heating systems to prevent freeze damage.
