All About Solar Pool Heating - 2
...If you are planning to do the install yourself you need to take this into consideration.
If you have a composition roof with rack mounted installation use a standard rigid polypropylene collector system. Powerstrips are used and they are glued down on the horizontal.
Another thing you must consider is aesthetics. You don't want your solar heating system to be an eye sore. So taking the time to consider your roof line, how much piping you are installing, and where the collectors will go you can help keep things looking good.
The collectors are the worst. It can be difficult to find space to hold them. At least to hold ones that are big enough to truly be functional. There is no right or wrong answer to this dilemma. You will just have to work through it. If you are lucky enough to have a flat roof you've got the easiest scenario.
You will have anywhere from 100 to 200 flow cores per four inch wide collector. The collectors are black and they are cold. As the air warms so will the collectors and the water inside them.
If you are going to do your own install it is important that you take some time to learn about plumbing and how the auto controls work. You'll then need to learn how the sizing works and what you can expect out of the various sizes of collectors. That way you'll be able to calculate what you need for your pool size.
Solar pool heating continues to grow in popularity.
Once you are done reading and researching solar pool heating, you should be able to make great decisions about the supplies and accessories that you might need for your pool. Knowing what you will need ahead of time is bound to help, and just make it easier on you in the long run.
