How does Solar Pool Heating Work

Here at Zane, we specialise in solar pool heating.

Zane Solar absorbs the sun’s heat and transfers it to your swimming pool. The water in your pool is heated as it flows through a series of solar absorbers strategically installed on your roof. The heated water is returned to the pool to increase its overall temperature.

Zane Solar pays for itself in just a few years. After the initial setup cost, the ongoing running costs are minimal as the heat is provided free from the sun. 

A Zane solar system can be installed either as an independent system or an integrated system.

In an independent system, the pool water is pumped directly from the pool to the solar absorber on the roof and then returns the heated water back to the pool. 

Independent systems require the pool builder to plan for solar system, or to have the professional support of a Zane dealer from the initial stages. Independent systems are simple to install and do not interrupt the filtration system.

An integrated system involves diverting the flow of water after the filtration system. Generally a secondary pump pushes the filtered water up to the solar absorber on the roof and returns the heated water back to the pool via the existing pool water return lines.

An integrated system can be easily retro-fitted without affecting any other part of the pool structure and it uses the filtered water of the pool to ensure that clean water is sent to the roof panels.
