Solarcraft s solar pool heating systems work seamlessly with your pool equipment and are fully automated.
The solar collector panel then receives heat through radiation from the sun which heats the pool water.
Solar heaters are completely dependent on the sun for their heat which means heating can be interrupted by clouds or even the time of day depending on the position of the sun.
You set the desired water temperature on the solar control and when solar energy is available at the solar collectors an automatic motorized valve diverts the water through the solar collectors and carries the suns heat back to the pool.
