A Swimming Pool Solar Sun Dome heater will heat your pool without and save you a small fortune in heating costs. These heaters can be installed on inground pools as a single heating source or to supplement a heating system, aboveground such as our wooden and doughboy pools and summer pools such as Intex and Bestway. Each Dome will heat upto 7,500lt of water. If you require more than two it is more effective to install in lines of two. For more information call us on 01474 853 863
Just use the sizing chart below to chose the right number of domes for your pool, if you opt for more than the required amount you will see a significant difference in pool temperature. Each Athena Dome will heat up to 7,500lt in a swimming pool, this compare to just 4,500lts with the solar pods.
Heating calculations are based on continuous sun exposure for 10 hours, which should increase the pool temperature, by the following:
One heater for 2,000lt +4c, 4,000lt +2.4c, 7,500lt +1.3c
Two heaters for 2,000lt +6c, 4,000lt +3.6c, 7,500lt +2.5c, 10,000lt +1.8c
Three heaters for 4,000lt +5.4c, 7,500lt +3.6c, 10,000lt +2.7c, 15,000lt +1.7c
Four heaters for 7,500lt +4.4c, 10,000lt +4.1c, 15,000lt +2.3c
The more domes you add to your pool the more heat you will produce, adding one or two more can make a significant difference to your pool tempreture.
Athena Solar Sun Dome Heaters are an extremely effective way of heating your swimming pool for free using only the solar gain available from the Sun's strong rays. As gas and electric costs continue to soar using solar heating to heat your swimming pool has become almost essential, even if it is as an additional heat source to your main heating. During the peak summer season, having solar heaters adding free heat to your swimming pool could mean not having to use your electric or gas swimming pool heater for up to a month. Those savings alone make installing solar heaters a must.
