Bathing fun

Why a swimming pool heating?

The bathing season usually runs from May

to September. During this time (that is

about 150 days) the water of an unheated

open tool has a temperature of over 23°C

only on about 30 days. This leads to the

need to heat the water for the remaining

120 days if, according to medical evidence,

one wants to achieve the ideal temperature

of 25°C-28° C.

Why solar energy?

Without heating, the most expensive swimming pool is not optimally used. For a conventionally heated swimming pool you need up to 1.000 € per season. This puts a strain on the wallet and the environment. A SOLKAV solar heating system is the most economical, safest and most environmentally friendly solution, because two thirds of the total solar energy between May and September, exactly during the swimming pool season, is available to us.

Why the SOLKAV solar system?

Because SOLKAV solar absorber mats have been proving themselves to the fullest satisfaction in municipal and private bathrooms for more than 40 years. The SOLKAV solar absorber delivers a similar net heat yield in the outdoor pool as a glazed collector, at comparatively lower

acquisition costs. Due to the mat, which is usually glued, the existing roof skin is not injured, whereby the SOLKAV solar

absorber mat can be laid with almost equal efficiency at any roof.

A lot of advantages!

Amortization after 3-5 years

Absolutely frost-resistant - just the collector pipes have to be emptied separately in winter

No additional heat exchangers necessary, resistant to swimming pool chemicals in normal concentration

light weight, only 6 kg/m2 (filled) no load on your roof

Adaptative to any roof construction. By glueing to the roof, there is no risk of injuring the roof skin

Available in all dimensions

Increase in the Ø bathing temperature

How it works:

The collector temperature and temperature of the swimming pool are measured with temperature sensors and compared in the control electronics. As soon as the collector temperature is higher than that of the swimming pool, the electric 3-way valve switches so that the filtered swimming pool water flows through the SOLKAV solar absorber mat, so that it then flows back into the pool heated. In case of insufficient solar radiation or a pre-set pool

temperature, the electric motor valve switches back and the swimming pool water is filtered exclusively.

Material properties

The solar mats are made of high quality, vulcanized

Ethylene-Propylene-Diene-Monomers (EPDM), with right-angled adhesive rails. This results in a conversion factor ETA (η0) of 93.7% tested according to ÖNORM M7720 and proven by a test certificate. The absolute yield of such systems depends on the climatic conditions (location, solar radiation, partial shading by e.g. trees, etc.).

Material resistance

The absorber is resistant to normal concentrations of swimming pool water treatment agents. The temperature resistance of the EPDM absorber ranges from -50 to 180 ° C.

Processing

The mats are laid by laying them out (rolling them out) and gluing them to the intended surface. Various preparatory work is required for this depending on the design of the roof.

Connection system

The EPDM mats are integrated into the pre-drilled, countersunk PVC header pipes using Norton support sleeves made from high-quality PTFE. This type of connection is a safe way of exchanging entire loops of the mat in the event of damage without great effort. Damage (e.g. marten bites) can be repaired using repair kits

easily repaired.
