OKU Solar heating systems

Temperature increase about 5 to 8°C on an outdoor pool depending on angle and exposure to the sun of the panels.

How it works

Using the existing pool pump, (in some cases a booster pump may be required) pool water is directed by a controlled valved to the solar collectors

Pool water then enters the solar collectors at the bottom, and rises to the top through individual tubes of the collector

As the water flows through the collector it is heated by the sun's rays

The water then returns to to the pool. This cycle is repeated until the pool water is sufficiently warmed.

The solar heating process is fully automatic and can be combined with  a differential control valve and temperature sensors.

*Depending on the distance/height from the pool, a low power pump may be required. For roof mounted sys6ems a flow rate of 3.5 to 5 m³/hr may be required.

We can provide installation for this system - please ask for details

Delivery 6 - 10  weeks.

Installation, if required, 4 - 12 days depending on number of panels. Always order in time for installation before the cool season November to February.

To increase the water temperature by  about 4-7°C, the recommended absorber area is about 50% of the pool surface area. As larger the percentage, as higher the temperature increase. If the pool is covered with trees or in the shade of a building, it may need up to 70% of the pool surface area.

The size of the swimming pool allows you to calculate the number of required OKU absorbers for your pool heating system. Each absorber panel has about 1.1 m² area. For example, a swimming pool with length of 4m, a width of of 2.50 m wide, and a depth of 1.3m  has a surface area of  10 m² . So the required total area of absorber panels is is about 5.50 m², requiring 6 to 8 OKU absorber panels.
