Copper Solar Pool Heater

They also typically last longer than gas and heat pump pool heaters.

Copper solar pool heater.

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. 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. 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 solar panels are heat exchangers specifically engineered to absorb solar energy. 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. It has a curved shape that allows for the maximum amount of heat absorption. The product fits a 1 2 to 1 5 hose fitting and includes two installation hoses as well as stainless steel hose clamps.

Our copper pool panels are a better choice than plastic panels. Besides the solar pool heater kit also includes an integral bypass valve mounting base cap straps and rubber tube plugs.

Your actual cost and payback depend on many factors. Sun ray s metallic pool panels are superior in heat conductivity heat transfer and durability.

This above ground solar pool heater produces up to 80 000 btus of heat per day which is enough to heat a 24 ft. This gives the water in the solar heater time to heat up before it goes into the pool. The reason i stopped was a post i read about copper turning the pool green. Round pool 7 10 degrees warmer than their ambient temperature value.

To solve this i installed an outdoor timer to my pool pump.
