Solar Pool Panel 5.4 m² Solar energy for larger pools up to 45 m³
The 5.4 m² solar pool panel heats the water in pools with a volume of up to 45 m³. Moreover, it runs on solar energy without using expensive energy sources. Besides, it suits all pools with sand filtration and raises the water temperature by up to 6 °C.
Solar Pool Panel 5.4 m² – Description
Since it consists of polypropylene, this solar panel does not retain limescale. The water passes through many narrow channels, warms up in the sun and returns to the pool. So you use solar energy for free.
The panel suits Azuro 403DL, 404DL and 405DL. You can also connect it to other panels. The hose fittings are 32/38 mm, but you choose the hose separately according to the length you need.
Operating principle
How do solar panels for pools work?
The solar panel absorbs heat energy from the sun and then passes it to the water flowing through the panel. Initially, the pump of the filtration system sends cold water from the pool to the solar panel.
While the water passes through the many narrow channels of the panel, it heats up. Then the warmed water returns to the pool. So you can use solar energy to heat the pool for free. Because the panel consists of solid polypropylene, it is a single module and does not retain limescale.
When does the solar panel work properly?
When you install the solar panel correctly, it will raise the pool water temperature by up to 6 °C. This applies during the summer season, compared with unheated pools.
If it is cloudy or rainy, the solar panel will work less efficiently. But after just one or two sunny days, the water temperature quickly rises again. Note that the pool water temperature must not exceed 30 °C.
Water that is too warm does not refresh you while bathing, and it creates ideal conditions for algae growth. Also, some of the pool components may have limits on use at high temperatures.
For example, this may stretch the liner in liner pools or burn out the filter pump through overheating. That is why you must stop using the solar panel if the water temperature goes above 30 °C.
Where should I place the panel?
Place the panel where there is plenty of direct sunlight (at least 6 hours a day). Of course, the longer the sun shines on the panel, the better the heating effect. If you install the panel on a sloping surface (roof, walls, fence, etc.), orient it south or southwest.
During the period from May to September, the optimal tilt for the panel is between 30 and 45 degrees. For safety reasons, do not install the panel closer than 1.5 metres to the pool. Otherwise, this could make it easier for children or pets to get into the pool.
Also take into account the expected movement around the pool, for example a lawn mower passing by. Choose the panel location so as to avoid mechanical damage. Flying pebbles, for example, could cause such damage.
When you install the panel on the ground, always fix it firmly to a special stand. On a sloping surface such as a roof, install it reliably enough. Then the wind cannot blow it away or damage it.
Do I need a special pump?
If the pump of the sand filtration system works, there is no problem. Then you can install the solar panel close to the filtration equipment and the pool.
Place a hand on the panel to check whether its surface is cold. If it is cold, water flows through the panel, which confirms that the flow is sufficient.
Consult a specialist only if you place the panel farther from the pool. The same applies if you place it above the pool water level.
What size solar panel do I need?
A panel of 3.6 m² suits pools with a water volume of up to 20–25 m³. In contrast, a panel of 5.4 m² suits pools with a volume of 30–45 m³. Also, you can connect the panels to each other with standard corrugated pool hoses.
If the panel has a smaller area than we recommend for your pool volume, heating will not be satisfactory. Especially in mountain areas, where it is cooler and the summer is shorter, we recommend panels with a larger area.
What other parts do you need for installation?
Firstly, you will need a hose or pipes of the required length. For roof installation we recommend a fixed installation with PVC pipes. So you will need PVC pipe adhesive and the corresponding fittings. Moreover, for installation on sloping surfaces, you need a stand that suits the size of the panel. Attention!
Do not install the panel in the immediate vicinity of PVC-U sewage pipes, because the temperature there can reach 70 °C.
What is a solar thermal blanket?
Solar covers retain the heat in the pool at night, especially at the beginning and end of the swimming season. In addition, remove the thermal cover from the pool on hot summer days. This is because direct sunlight warms the water deeper than the material of solar covers does.
The thermal cover is very suitable for use together with the solar panel for pool heating. At night, the cover retains the heat of the water that the panel has provided during the day.
How do you connect the solar panel?
Initially, you connect the solar panel to the outlet connection of the filter. Nothing may stand between the panel and the return nozzle, such as valves or filter tanks. Otherwise, they would increase the pressure in the panel. Finally, connect the panel as the diagram in the product description and the instructions shows.
What do you use the manual bypass (valve) for?
The solar panel heats the water only when the sun is shining on it. At night, the ambient temperature is usually lower. That would have the opposite effect, so it would cool the water. The manual bypass lets you stop the panels when conditions do not suit solar heating, e.g. during night-time filtration.
Solar Pool Panel 5.4 m² – Technologies and Conveniences
Description
Solar panels suit pools with a pump and a sand filter installed. Thus, they raise the temperature by up to 6 °C without resorting to expensive energy sources. Besides, they suit all pools with sand filters.
This is a perfectly sufficient temperature increase to extend the season. This is because conditions for algae growth and damage to the pool liner arise in water above 30 °C. Also, the set contains a solar panel of the stated dimensions, a valve, and outlets and hose connections.
You additionally need to choose a hose, according to the length you need.
The product is suitable for the models
AZURO 403DL; AZURO 404DL pool; AZURO 405DL pool; All pools with a volume of up to 35 m³
Installation
Your solar panel includes fittings for connecting to hoses with a diameter of 32 mm/38 mm. You can also install it on a filtration system with pipes of a different diameter. In that case, please contact a qualified technician.
If your pool's filtration system uses hoses with a diameter of 32/38 mm, you can easily install the panel yourself. Then follow the instructions, which you can download in electronic form from the blue banner.
