How Do Solar Pool Heaters Work?

Do you own a swimming pool? As a pool owner, you might be aware of the benefits and cost savings of using the solar system for heating pools. Most pool owners use their pools on a seasonal basis i.e. only during the summer.

But investing in a solar kit can significantly benefit solar pool owners. However, Northern Lights solar pool heating systems can be integrated so that they are capable of delivering heat to the pool during summer as well as home and space heating and residential hot water in winter.

Investing in a solar pool heater can minimize your heating bills year-round. If you’re an indoor pool owner and looking for a solution for pool heating during winter, then a Northern Lights solar pool heating kit is ideal for you.


This system has a much longer life expectancy and delivers enough heat energy throughout the season than any other type of solar pool heaters available. The overall ownership cost is substantially less to homeowners that yield maximum savings over electricity and fossil fuels. This means you’ll take advantage of larger savings than any other traditional solar pool heating system.

How Does a Solar Pool Heating Kt Work?

The solar pool heaters available at Northern Lights utilize a closed-loop system whereas others use an open-loop system. The pool pump pushes the pool water against gravity which causes excessive wear on the pump and increases the operational cost of the pump by up to 30%.

The pool heater help in differentiating the heating fluid and pool water through a heat exchange. A small amount of water or glycol (in cold weather) gets circulated throughout the solar vacuum tubes at 0.75-1.25 GPM.

The solar-powered system absorbs the solar energy through advanced evacuated tubes and transfers heat energy to the pool through a heat exchanger. This pool heat exchange puts very little resistance on the pool pump which allows it to work at its normal capacity.

Rest assured that, the chlorinated pool water never comes in contact with any area of the solar heating system extending the durability and investment by up to five times than a regular pool heater. This pool heater is highly advanced and efficient so that it can start to deliver heat as soon as the sun rises in the morning.


This Northern Lights solar system doesn’t require any direct sunlight. Even if it’s raining lightly, your solar pool heater will deliver heat energy to the pool. This kit includes a digital controller that maximizes the solar output and comes with safety features like freeze protection, holiday cooling mode, and advanced energy monitoring.

Moreover, this system can help you transfer data to the internet and provide you with real-time performance and historical analysis on any personal computer or smartphone through Free Resol VBus.net.

Pool size – Large-size pools need more solar panels to achieve desired temperatures. Panel quality - High-quality solar panels absorb enough solar energy for heating pool water. Installation - Proper pool heating system installation maximizes overall efficiency. On average, solar pool heaters can increase water temperature by 5 to 15 degrees Fahrenheit. Even if it might not be enough for colder climates during peak winter months, it can significantly extend th...

Eco-Friendly Swimming: How Thermax Extreme Solar Pool Heating Benefits the Environment

With the current advancement in solar pool heating technology, it’s time to say goodbye to installing leaky plastic mats on rooftops. The Thermax Extreme Solar Pool Heating System provides efficiency, durability, and eco-friendliness utilizing advanced solar collectors for optimal performance and efficiency. This solar pool heater features high-powered advanced solar collectors manufactured from stainless steel or titanium heat exchangers. These materials provide resilience against the corrosive effects of chlorinated water; and eliminate the hassle of damage that often comes with conventional solar heating systems. Moreover, this type of solar pool heating system doesn’t need oversized pumps to circulate large volumes of water to the roof. It’s because a small circulating pump can draw less power than a light bulb while providing a 20-year life expectancy. Why Do Pool Owners Install Thermax Extreme Solar Pool Heaters? Operational Versatility The Thermax system features ...
