Above Ground Pool Solar Heater
An above ground pool solar heater made specifically for
above ground pools is not necessary. There are actually multiple in-ground
heaters that can be used as above-ground pool solar heaters.
· Hardware – If purchasing a heater with a variety of
installation options, be sure that it comes with the necessary hardware
needed to mount the solar collector adjacent to the pool.
· Pool diverter and mounting kit – For an above ground
pool, it is a good idea to get a solar heater that comes with a pool
diverter valve and a roof or rack mounting kit. These can come in handy,
depending on your setup.
The most important thing to consider when purchasing an above ground
pool solar heater is the size of your pool, what temperature you want
to keep it out, where you live geographically, how shaded the pool is,
whether or not you have a cover on it, and other such things that can
affect how much heat is needed to heat your pool.
For the most part, above ground pool solar heaters and in ground ones
work the same. The important thing is to find one that works well for
you, specifically.
