Heating an outdoor pool is a very expensive business. The water in it will heat up, becoming warm to the touch, and the solar panels of a solar pool heater work in very much the same way.
The solar panels used in solar pool heaters are, therefore, flat panels made up of many small tubes through which the water your pool is passed. Look for solar panels with high thermal performance ratings. Be sure also to get the right size of solar panel for your pool. Too small a panel for too big a pool will leave you splashing about in cold water! Two 2′ by 20′ panels will heat a 21′ above ground pool so if you swimming pool is bigger than 21′ you will need to consider additional panels.
Once installed though you will be able to enjoy swimming in a warm pool from early spring until late fall thanks to your solar pool heater.
