Performance Solar offers solar pool heating systems for both new and existing swimming pools. The solar tube collectors, included with the pool heating system, are suitable for roof mounting as well as ground racking. The solar collector comprises hundreds of channels through which the pool water is circulated by the pool pump. The water is heated in the collectors and sent back to the pool through the existing plumbing.
Solar Pool Heating System
The Performance solar pool heating system is available in three styles - Performance ST, Performance Plus and Performance. The Performance ST solar pool heating style features a separated tube design in the panel that offers easy installation. This tube design also provides resistance to hurricanes and high winds. The pool panel is suitable for installation on tile roofs. The solar pool heating system, provided by Performance Solar, features a two-inch header and patented flow metering system. This combination offers better pool heating performance when compared to individual tube design.
The Performance Plus pool heating system comprises collector tubes that are dimpled. These tubes make the water flow spirally, mixing the water and heating it evenly. The Performance style solar pool heating system features a solar collector panel that has about 200 tubes. The collector panel has a fully wetted surface that helps to flow more water in touch with solar heat.
