"3 gallons of oil, refined into fuel and burned, provides 400,000 BTU's...once. 3 gallons of oil made into a 4 x 12 foot solar collector can provide over 10 million BTU's per year...year after year." Home Power #94, April/May 2003
Aquatherm pool heating systems are
simple, dependable, affordable and saves a tremendous amount of energy & money
when compared to traditional pool heating systems. The system simply uses
the existing pool pump and an actuator valve
that diverts the water flow to the panels, heats the water, and then returns to
the pool through the existing jets. When the
pool reaches the desired temperature, the control system
bypasses the panels and returns the water directly to the pool.
The Aquatherm pool heating system has been engineered to exacting specifications with the longest warranty in the business and has several options for mounting. The specially designed channels heat the maximum amount of water with the use of your existing pool pump. Three different panel sizes allows for greater flexibility while designing your solar pool heating system.
