The below diagram shows the perfect setup of a Sunbather Solar Pool Heating System and the components involved, to make a perfect system !
- You can set the pool temperature you would like to achieve on the SunSwitch controller (2).
The SunSwitch controller then turns on the solar pump when the temperature difference between the roof sensor (3) and pool sensor (4) exceeds 7˚c.
The pump will stay on until the pool reaches your set temperature, but only if solar conditions are favourable.
- The solar pump (1) then draws cold water from your pool and pushes it up on to the roof.
- Optimal system performance can be achieved by monitoring the pressure and flow using the pressure gauge (6) and Opti valves (7a &b).
- The cold water collects heat from the solar collector (11) whilst pushing the water towards the Flat Loop (FLT) ends (10), which acts as a ‘mini manifold’.
- The water turns around in the FLT ends and continues to collect heat whilst being pushed back to the manifold pipes.
- The now warm water is returned to the pool through ‘The Anchor’ (5).
- When the pool sensor reads a temperature within 2˚c of your set temperature, the solar pump will turn off and the water will drain out of the solar system.
This water is then replaced by air using the Vacuum Break valve (9) to avoid the collector tubes being sucked flat.
