The principal cause of heat loss in swimming pools is through evaporation and if the temperature of the pool is to be maximized by installing a heater then steps must also be taken to reduce heat loss. This can be achieved by fitting an impermeable floating cover and owners who want to heat their pools are strongly recommended to fit one.
Sizing of the solar collectors is based on the pool volume to be heated. The bigger the volume the more the number of panels required. As a general guide 1 panel should heat at least 10m3 of the pool water and on average the temperature rise will be in the region of 80C above normal pool temperature.
