What size DIY pool solar heating kit do I need?
Typically, the easiest way to calculate the required size of your solar pool heating system is to determine the surface area of your pool rather than the volume of water. Use this 3 step guide to calculate the size of the solar heater you will require to heat your pool.
Step 1: Using the guide below, calculate the approximate surface area of your pool.
Step 2: Determine the percentage of collector required taking into account the following:
* Available roof size
* Northern roof minimum 90% to 100% +.
* Southern roof minimum 100% +.
Step 3: Multiply your pool surface area by percentage of area required. Note: By installing additional collector up to 100% & more will improve your heating efficiency.
