These unglazed systems can even work for indoor pools in cold climates if the system is designed to drain back to the pool when not in use. Because of their inexpensive parts and simple design, unglazed collectors are usually less expensive than glazed collectors. They are generally made of heavy-duty rubber or plastic treated with an ultraviolet (UV) light inhibitor to extend the life of the panels. Unglazed collectors don't include a glass covering (glazing). If you'll only be using your pool when temperatures are above freezing, then you'll probably only need an unglazed collector system. The type you'll need depends on your climate and how you intend to use the collector. Solar pool collectors are made out of different materials. When the collector temperature is similar to the pool temperature, filtered water simply bypasses the collector(s) and is returned to the pool.

Some systems include sensors and an automatic or manual valve to divert water through the collector(s) when the collector temperature is sufficiently greater than the pool temperature. In hot climates, the collector(s) can also be used to cool the pool during peak summer months by circulating the water through the collector(s) at night. Pool water is pumped through the filter and then through the solar collector(s), where it is heated before it is returned to the pool.

A flow control valve - automatic or manual device that diverts pool water through the solar collector.

A pump - circulates water through the filter and collector and back to the pool.A filter - removes debris before water is pumped through the collector.A solar collector - the device through which pool water is circulated to be heated by the sun.Most solar pool heating systems include the following: Actually, solar pool heating is one of the most cost-effective use of solar energy in some climates. They're cost competitive with both gas and heat pump pool heaters, and they have very low annual operating costs. You can significantly reduce swimming pool heating costs by installing a solar pool heater.
