Use the Sun to Heat Your Pool 
Solar pool heaters have many advantages over other pool heaters (like electric and gas):
- Energy used is clean and unlimited.
- System cost is usually equal to or less than other heaters.
- There is no ongoing expense to operate your heater. After installation, all the energy generated is FREE from the sun.
-
Solar heaters have no moving parts so they generally require less
service and last years longer than other types of heaters.
What to Expect from Your Solar Pool Heater
Solar pool heating systems are designed for swimmers who enjoy pool
temperatures from the mid 70s to the upper 80s (even low to mid 90s in
some climates).
The solar pool heater
adds degrees to your pool water (often 10-15 degrees). By adding heat
to your pool, you may add months to your swimming season. In Central
Florida, for example, unheated pool temperatures are usually in the
upper 60s or low 70s during November. A solar heated pool will have
temperatures in the upper 70s or low 80s. For many people, that is the
difference between swimming comfortably and not swimming at all. (Note:
comparisons are similar in other climates, just at different times of
the year.)
How Does It Work? 
All
you do is set the desired pool temperature on your solar controller and
the sun does the rest. When your solar controller senses that there is
enough sunlight to heat your pool and that your pool is colder than you
desire, water is automatically diverted to your solar system. Your pool
pump sends pool water to the solar collectors. As the water flows
through 120 tubes in each solar collector, the sun's energy heats it.
The solar-heated water then flows back to your pool. This simple cycle
continues until your pool reaches your desired temperature. You can
also cool your pool during warmer months by simply running your pool
pump at night and sending the water through your solar panels. Your
solar controller will automatically switch to nocturnal cooling and
divert the pool water through the solar collectors.
SwimMaster Plus Solar Panels Fine Features Performance:
SwimMaster Plus solar panels are designed to provide as much heat to your pool as any other solar pool heater.
-
SwimMaster Plus's 2" diameter, full-flow header distributes pool water
to the absorber with maximum efficiency. Durability: Several features
insure that SwimMaster Plus solar panel will warm your pool for many
years. This model benefits from Solar World's outstanding construction
process, including our proven raw material formula, our molded header
process and the stress-free results from a tube-on-fin absorber that
minimizes the impact of expansion and contraction.
Why choose solar pool heaters?
Few
things in life are as relaxing as the soothing water of your own
swimming pool. Few things are as pleasant as visiting by your pool with
family and friends. Wouldn't it be wonderful to know that every time
you wanted to use your pool the water would be your preferred
temperature? Consider the benefits of a heated pool:
- Longer swimming season
- More exercise
- More relaxation
- More time at home with family and friends
And,
with FLS solar heaters, warm water is more affordable than you might
think. Of the three primary types of pool heaters -- gas, electric and
solar -- it's obvious which one will be the most environmentally and
economically friendly.
Other Specially-Designed Advantages:
The solar panels roomy water passages are designed to minimize
increases in water pressure. This feature is becoming more important as
more pools are adding additional products, like "in-floor" cleaners,
which raise system pressure near maximum recommended limits.
Since our panels are built with the most secure manufacturing process
for plastic available today (molding), and because of its "sure fit"
fastening method, these systems virtually never leak, on installation
or after. When it comes to reliability there is no equal.
