Copper Solar Pool Heater

Unlike most others on our list this collector is rigid plastic with a unique curved design which game says accelerates heating and includes two.

Copper solar pool heater.

The reason i stopped was a post i read about copper turning the pool green. It is not just a black plastic or rubber garden hose. I want to build a heating system that i can drag out a week before visitors heat up the pool and put it away. The game solarpro pool heater is designed for above ground pools and designed to gradually heat your pool to extend your season.

For parts that contain copper like metal piping in older pools and copper heat exhangers in pool heaters small amounts of copper from these surfaces will be released into the pool water. They also typically last longer than gas and heat pump pool heaters. The manufacturer says it should increase the water temperature in an 8 000 gallon pool by 5 degrees in four days. Sun ray s metallic copper tubes aluminum absorbers pool panels absorb and transfer solar heat at a much greater rate then plastic or rubber the result is a better performance.

This above ground solar pool heater produces up to 80 000 btus of heat per day which is enough to heat a 24 ft. Round pool 7 10 degrees warmer than their ambient temperature value. It depends on how low your ph is how long you pool has had the low ph and how much metal is exposed to the pool water to determine how much copper is being released into the pool. This provides a payback of between 1 5 and 7 years depending on your local fuel costs.

Your actual cost and payback depend on many factors. The product fits a 1 2 to 1 5 hose fitting and includes two installation hoses as well as stainless steel hose clamps. This gives the water in the solar heater time to heat up before it goes into the pool. Besides the solar pool heater kit also includes an integral bypass valve mounting base cap straps and rubber tube plugs.

At first i was mere minutes from building the red neck pool heater system that utilizes a copper tubing system that is heated by my propane grill. To solve this i installed an outdoor timer to my pool pump. Sun ray solar copper tubing waterways are stronger than plastic. Our copper pool panels are a better choice than plastic panels.

A solar pool heating system usually costs between 3 000 and 4 000 to buy and install. Sun ray solar panels are heat exchangers specifically engineered to absorb solar energy. It has a curved shape that allows for the maximum amount of heat absorption. The pump still runs several hours a day to filter the pool but from noon until about 6 00 pm the timer turns the pump on and off at 1 2 hour intervals.

Sun ray s metallic pool panels are superior in heat conductivity heat transfer and durability.
