Solar pool Heaters are one of the best ways to make it comfortable to swim months before anyone else!
That means that it costs less to use a solar pool heater. In this case, you can use the sun's energy to heat your pool and the energy won't cost you anything, the sun's energy is free!
You will need to buy the materials, and have the solar mats installed. If you are so inclined, the mats can be installed, but installing a solar powered pool heater is dangerous work that we suggest you leave to the professionals.
Most people choose to put the solar panels on the roof of their house. You could also put them on a fence, or you could build a wooden holder for the mats. In that case, the wood would face the East, and the mats would sit right on top of them.
Solar pool heaters work like a circle. The sun comes up and a sensor triggers a pump. That pumps the cold pool water into the solar pool heater collector mats. The cold water is heated while inside the mats and then pumped back into the pool.
That of course is overly simplistic, but it gives you a basic idea of how a solar pool heater works.
Depending on your installation, you may want a bypass valve.
Most sensors automatically know when the sun comes up. Most installations include a second sensor that regulates the pool temperature. They can then turn off if the pool reaches or exceeds a predetermined temperature.
