Solar heating for your pool or spa can save you lots of money and conserve our precious resources by reducing the need for oil or gas.  Your solar heating can work independently or with your present heater. 

Solar panels are put on your roof to collect the energy from the sun, usually in a southern facing direction.  After installation, to heat your pool you will only need to set the automatic control unit for the desired water temperature.  What happens then:

1. The sensor detects changes in solar heat and tells the control unit when there is energy available to work efficiently.
2. Your pool pump sends cold water from the pool through the solar collectors.
3. The solar collectors transfer the sun's heat to the water as if flows through the collectors.
4. Warm, solar-heated water flows back to the pool, continuously circulating through the collectors until it reaches your pre-set temperature levels. At night and in limited sunshine, a sensor prevents the pool from being cooled by automatically triggering the controller to shut off the system and drain water from the collectors.
