This solar pool heating kit is an environmentally friendly product using free heat from the sun. It works by absorbing heat from the sun's rays into the specially designed the heavy duty black matt material. Water is circulated through the pipes within the mat which is warmed up and in turn gives you and your kids a lovely warm pool which does not cost the earth and is certainly much cheaper than any other form of water heating. For example, a 3KW electric pool heater could use over £11 of electricity per day!

Our solar pool heating mat can increase the temperature of your pool by 3 to 5°C per day depending on the pool size and weather conditions. During testing, over 2 to 3 days we have used this product to increase a pool temperature from around 20°C to almost 36°C which is certainly very comfortable.

We have chosen a tough NBR rubber material for our solar absorption mats which will have a long life and is UPVC degradation resistant. In our recent testing of similar products we found that the cheaper PVC solar absorption mats are very easily punctured but their biggest problem is that the PVC material warps in the heat of the sun which can restrict water flow (see photos)

5. Our Solar Panel collector is made from EPDM/NBR, which is virtually immune to ultraviolet radiation and ozone.  It is also highly resistant to pool chemicals and harsh climate.

Solar Collector Installation Guidance

It is recommended that the solar pool heating mat is positioned as the same level as your pool so avoid pumping circulation water uphill which will reduce the water flow rate  If the solar collector is mounted directly onto your lawn on a seasonal basis when your pool is in use, you may wish to lift if slightly above the grass as it does get very warm and can scorch the grass. Tilting the solar collector mat towards the sun will also increase its efficiency.  One or more solar collector mats can be joined together for increased heating capacity. Solar collector panels should be orientated to south in facing in the earth’s northern hemisphere and in an un-shaded location.

Calculation Example (Children's Play Pools) : Circular pool, 8 foot diameter (2.44M diameter).  pool diameter X pool diameter X average depth X 0.79

1. Calculate your pool water volume i.e. 2.44M x 2.44M x 0.5m in depth X 0.79 = Pool volume 2.35m3 (0.79 corrects water volume for the round pool)
2. Recommended minimum panel coverage is 75% = 1.76 m2.
3. So two 1m² solar collectors are recommended, or you can oversize the solar collectors to compensate for occasional cloudy conditions.

Other Accessories you can consider for you pool

You can also use a standard Bestway/ Intex type pool filter, like shown on photos.  Our solar pump can also push the water through the solar heating collector mat and filter although the flow rate may be lowered to around 360 litres per hour.

Additional 32mm (1.25 inch) pool hose can be purchased separately to join your pool to the solar collector mat and pumps if required.
