SOLAR HEATING the low cost alternative to heating your swimming pool

   

About Us

Our manufacturing company has its products TUV certified for its quality and environmental systems.

Our solar pool heating panels heat swimming pools in various climatic conditions be it hot or arid.

Offering customers substantial returns relative to their investment, your clients can enjoy longer swimming season with hot water heated from sun. Reducing swimming pool heating expenses to the minimum, our solar pool heating system is one of the most economical ways to heat a pool.

Products

We offer swimming pool solar heating panels at prices that are competitive and can be installed with little skill required. Thousands of gallons of water can be heated by our solar heaters within a short time.

The benefits of our product are:

  • It has minimal costs of operation as it requires virtually no maintenance.

  • The system has a automatic controller ability that operates as per solar energy.

  • The system has no added expenses associated with it being made from high quality polypropylene with special ultraviolet inhibitor additives.

  • Our systems do not corrode or discolour pool water.

  • The panels can be used in conjunction with already existing pool panels.

  • It's ability to be coupled with an automatic controller allows client to set desired pool temperature.

  • Our products are engineered for easy installation.

Production

The manufacturing company is one of the largest manufacturer of solar collectors.

The entire collector is made of specially formulated material raw polypropylene co-polymer blended with carbon black, synergistic antioxidants and ultraviolet stabilizers.

Quality

Our manufacturer is committed to provide quality products and also preserving our environment.

  • No Thermal welding and no leakage ---- due to one piece design.

  • No dissimilar materials. So no uneven expansion and contraction in the product.

  • Great look and performance.

  • Size of headers to take excellent water flow.

  • Each and every panel tested at every stage of production.

  • Finally each panel is tested at a pressure of 120 psi before shipment. Panels actually experience a pressure of about 40-50 psi only.

  • Lifetime warranty of 10 years.

  • We take pride in our SwimRay solar panels because of their outstanding quality.

  • Our installation kits are also warranted against defects.

The advantages are low pressure loss, high efficiency, absolutely frost resistant, tough enough to walk on, simple to install, resistant to chemicals, resistant to swimming pool water and modular design with one piece fabrication.

The water of the swimming pool can flow through the absorbers in either direction, so they can be mounted both lengthwise and side by side.

The individual rows of absorbers are connected on a same routes for each row. It is not advisable to connect more than seven absorbers in series.

DESIGN

Recommended absorber area in % of pool surface for open-air pools with cover or indoor swimming pools (early May through end of September).

Temperature increases are 4-7 °C compared to unheated swimming pools.

The absorber area should be chosen 50% larger if there is no cover.

The regionally different number of sunshine hours can be allowed for by adding or deducting up to 20% absorber area.

Pump performance
The flow rate should be 150 to 250 l/m2 absorber area per hour. The required type of pump is easy to determine. The delivery rate is calculated from the absorber area x 200 l. The delivery head is the difference in height between the water level and the absorber panel plus approx. 5 m.

Different configurations of swimming-pool solar heating

1. Operation with filter pump via three-way motor ball valve with difference-temperature regulation

This configuration can usually be selected if the absorbers are not to be set up higher than 6 m above the surface of the water. The three way motor ball valve is integrated into the pressure line of the filter installation.

Because of the difference temperature regulation the ball valve is changed over when the absorber temperature is higher than the temperature of the water of the swimming pool.

The filter stream is then pumped through the absorbers. The warmed water flows back into the filter circuit by way of a Tee.

2. Operation with own pump and difference temperature regulation
integrated into filter circuit

In many cases it may be sensible or even necessary to install a separate pump for the solar heating.

For example when the delivery head from the water level to the absorber panel is more than 6 m. The water is diverted from the filter installation by way of a Tee and pumped through the absorbers by the auxiliary pump. This pump is switched by the difference-temperature regulation to ensure that it only runs to actually gain energy.

The filter and solar pump are separately regulated.

It is usually advisable to integrate non-return valves in both the solar and the filter circuit.

3. Operation with own pump and difference-temperature regulation - piping independent of filter circuit

This configuration is chosen when the filter piping is difficult of access. The water is sucked out of the swimming pool by an immersion pipe, pumped through the absorbers, and the warmed water is conducted back into the swimming pool.

Here too the difference temperature regulation ensures that the pump only runs to gain energy. If the pump is mounted above the water level and the delivery head is more than 5 m, a non-return valve should be incorporated.
