Solar Pool Heating review by an unbiased expert
Pool Maintenance
Omokoroa, Western BOP
In Dec 2015, I had a new pool heating system installed consisting of 4 glass solar panels (thermo-siphon?), attached to a 300L Rheem Hot water cylinder on the roof, and cycled through a separate timed circulating pump. Our pool is saltwater, close to 50,000L. However, my pool temps (with a thermal blanket on too) are poor ... all summer we only hit 29 degrees twice, while it mainly hovered around 27 degrees, despite very hot days. Today its only 24.5 degrees, which is too cool for our enjoyment....
