Operating a solar pool heater is quite simple and once installed it will hardly change the way you currently operate your existing pool equipment. A solar pool heater itself has no mechanical parts and utilizes your existing pool water pump to push the pool water through the solar pool panels and the Feed and Return PVC Plumbing lines. Our Vortex solar pool heaters have a patented design that traps heat more efficiently to better heat your pool.
How a solar pool heater works:
1. Cold water pumped from your pool through your filtration equipment.
2. Cold water transferred to solar pool heater panel array.
3. Cold water flows upwards through the panels’ riser tubes to the top header pipes. The stored heat in the solar pool panels is transferred to the cold water, heating it.
4. Heated water is retuned back into the swimming pool, gently raising the temperature until the desired pool water temperature is reached.
