WHY SOLAR HEAT?
Most pools require some type of heating, whether to bring the pool up to desired temperature during the swimming season, or to extend this season beyond the normal Memorial Day to Labor Day. The options for pool heating remain to be Natural or Propane gas fired units, Heating Oil burning units, Electric Immersion Element type, Electric Heat Pumps or SOLAR POOL HEATERS. SOLAR HEAT is, first of all, the least expensive option. Gas fired units can cost several thousand for installation, and several hundred (at least) per year to operate. Heat Pumps and Oil Heaters operate at a lower cost, but their installation cost can be double of gas heaters. Electric Immersion heaters do not perform well outdoors, are expensive to install, operate and maintain. In fact, all of these heaters require annual maintenance, and possibly repair which can put quite a dent in the pocketbook. SOLAR HEAT is FREE. Fuel Oil, Natural & Propane Gas and Electricity are exhaustible resources, whose prices fluctuate with their availability. Gas & Oil heat emits exhaust that can be harmful to humans and their world. These heaters, which burn with fire, are also very hot, and unsafe to touch. SOLAR HEAT is a renewable domestic fuel that's widely available. Gas heaters require qualified Gas Contractors to hook up and service. Oil
heaters require installation, calibration and annual maintenance by qualified
Combustioneers. Electrical heaters require...electricians. Pool SOLAR HEAT is
the first pool heater that's truly user friendly. Installation is safe,
maintenance is almost non-existent. Enrsol modular solar pool heating system is
perfect for the home owners and commercial pools. HOW SOLAR HEAT? It all grew out of the black hose "technology," whereby innovative farmers would run black hose or pipe out in the yard or on the roof to supply heated water for many uses, including bathing. "Old" solar involved copper exchangers encased in glass are Heavy, expensive and fragile. "New" solar is a variation on the old black hose. To increase efficiency and solar absorption, modern designs use dozens of small black hoses formed together in solid EPDM rubber mats. These mats are easily mounted on the roof (preferably a southern exposure), lay on the ground or mounted on plywood. On the top and bottom of the mat are headers, or collector tubes (pvc pipe), which distribute the water through the 3/8" tubes, and carry the water back to the pool. It's a very simple system which has greatly reduced the cost of utilizing solar heat for swimming pools.
IInstallation of your solar pool heater is as simple as cutting the return pipe and installing a three way valve. From the three-way valve, the filtered water can return to the pool as normal, or it can be directed up and into the solar collectors. After its pass through the collectors, the water is pumped back off the roof (or wherever installed) and back into the return line where it continues to the pool. Each pass through the collectors will return water that is 5-15 degrees (F) warmer.

Solar Pool Heat is the most cost
effective method of Pool Heating.
The Aqua Rite Solar Control System
The Aqua Rite Solar Control System is available for
full automation of your Solar System! Sensing the pool temperature, the control
center automatically turns the 3-way valve to divert pool water up to the solar
collectors when conditions are right for effective solar heating. Your pool can
always be at optimum temperature ...automatically! The easy to use, adjustable
thermostat allows you to set your pool temperature and forget it! ![]() ![]() •
