In simple terms, how does a solar pool heater work?
Using the pump that circulates pool water through the filter, the water is automatically diverted so that it flows through the many small passages of the solar collector. While passing through the collector the water is heated by the sun. This warmed water then flows directly back into the pool.
Do solar collectors have to face south?
No, not necessarily. The solar collectors should be installed where they can be in the sun for a good portion of the day. Depending on the angle of the mounting surface East and West facing systems can function equally as well. Flat and Ground installations are proving to be hugely successful.
