Intex Solar Pool Heater Mat - Efficiently Raise Water Temperature by 3-5°C | Suitable for Above Ground Swimming Pools | Eco-Friendly & Cost-Effective Solution

Product Information

Don't choose a solar pool heating system or collector based solely on its estimated costs. When selecting a solar pool heater, it's also important to consider all of the factors involved in the system's sizing and quality of the design and installation. Building Codes and Covenants Poolsolar will not be liable for conditions resulting from any misuse, abuse, negligence, accident, or alteration of the solar collector. Some systems include sensors and an automatic or manual valve to divert water through the collector(s) when the collector temperature is sufficiently greater than the pool temperature. When the collector temperature is similar to the pool temperature, filtered water simply bypasses the collector(s) and is returned to the pool.

Intex 28685 Pool Eco-Friendly Solar Heating Mat - Pool Pro

PoolSolar solar matting ideally should be positioned facing the sun as much as possible and ideally 30 degrees (above horizontal) facing south, and as a general rule, maximum working pressure shouldn’t be above 1.5 BAR (22 psi). A solar collector's thermal performance rating is measured by Btu (British thermal unit) per square foot per day: Btu/(ft 2day)

You can then calculate a collector's energy output per dollar spent or invested using this formula: In this country, unheated swimming pools only reach an agreeable temperature for a few days a year, but with a solar matting system installed, you’ll be able to extend the season in which you can pleasantly enjoy your swimming pool, and will probably end up using it more than ever before!

Solar Mat for Above Ground Pools - INTEX

Poolsolar will not be liable for conditions resulting from fire, lightning, floods, winds, accidents, animal damage or other conditions above our control. Repair: If a defect in materials or workmanship becomes evident during normal use and service within five years, we will supply replacement parts free of charge, within a reasonable time, without transportation costs (limited to United Kingdom). The cheapest option out of them all, the solar mat collects sunlight on its large, mattress-like surface, and heats the water flowing through. In climates where the temperature is high, the sun is shining without any clouds, and there is no wind, the solar mat can perform relatively well. It is an ideal solution if you are looking to spend as little as possible, but this low price comes at the expense of a variety of factors. Under standard conditions, you need to take only half of the surface area dimensions of your pool as a guide for how much solar matting you require.I also have some concerns about longevity - the mat creases quite a bit where the inlet and outlet pipes join, especially the bigger bypass valve on the inlet side (though that is a useful feature) and I can see that with weathering, it's likely to split there, where it would be very difficult to repair. I don't plan to leave it out any longer than we're using the pool of course, and hope that with care it'll last a few years. Read full review

Poolsolar will not be liable for conditions resulting, from significant deviation from Poolsolar installation instructions.Before purchasing a solar pool heating system, you can estimate and compare the costs of using different solar collector models. This will help you determine the potential cost savings of investing in a more efficient type of collector, which may require fewer panels for the collector area needed to heat your pool. Essentially, PoolSolar Solar Matting can be installed almost anywhere you want – directly on your lawn or on a roof (subject to height and pump size). If you’re installing PoolSolar Matting on a ground surface i.e. for small above ground or splasher type pools, then please be aware that PoolSolar isn’t designed to be walked on!
