5 Main Parts of Solar Vacuum Tube Pool Heaters

Are you looking to buy solar pool heaters? You should look no further than Latitude51 Solar pool heating kits. They use high temperature solar vacuum tubes to transfer solar energy to pool water. These systems help in transferring energy through a stainless steel or titanium heat exchanger. They prevent chlorine from the pool to reach the solar collectors, preventing any chemical damage due to chlorine or salt water chlorinated pool.


Latitude51 Solar pool heaters are easy to install and operate. The collectors are positioned on a roof line faces south direction. It can be mounted on the wall or ground. A solar pump station moves heating fluid from the collector to the heat exchanger when the heating fluid gets hotter than pool water. This process is fully automatic and is controlled by ReSol AL solar controller. When the collector cools down, the controller will switch off the pump until the availability of more heat energy.


There are two sensors present in the solar controller and one is located inside the last collector in series and the other one gets connected to pool piping before the heater. This way, the system is able to decide when to start and shut down the pump so that it will maximize the energy flow to the pool water.


Solar pool heaters available on sale at Latitude51 Solar have the best features, like:

1. Titanium Heat Exchanger


A titanium solar pool heat exchanger is important for the sanitization of salt water rather than a stainless steel one. However, titanium is resistant to salt and has much longer life expectancy. A titanium heat exchanger is suggested to use in highly chlorinated pools like public pools for longer life expectancy.


2. Stainless Steel Aurora Flex Piping


Aurora Flex Twin Piping connects the heat exchanger with the solar collectors. This flexible piping is made from stainless steel and is easy to install. It won’t require any soldering work. The piping fittings come with high temperature ceramic gaskets, ensuring permanent leak-free connection.


The Aurora Flex piping comes with high temperature EPDM insulating foam and weather proof covering. It includes a pre-installed wire for the sensors. This flex pipes make the installation of solar pool heater faster and guarantee you a leak-free installation process.


3. Automatic Solar Air Vent


You’ll find a Spiro Tech Automatic Solar Air Vent in Latitude51 Solar pool kit. The air vent is connected at the highest point in the system will remove any air that may form inside the closed loop.


This air vent system is ideal for any rooftop installation as you don’t need to go up to the roof for the solar system. This solar vent is rated to 360 F. When the pool system gets over heated, the auto vent will shut off at 180 F by releasing air.


4. ReSol AL Solar Differential Controller


This solar controller is easy to use and works with a relay control to turn on or off the solar pump system. It has built-in features like overheating protection and holiday mood which can be used to cool the pool when it gets too hot.


The system has standard VBus connection to connect a DL2 Data Logger to allow users to monitor performance of solar pool heaters remotely. It comes with standard energy metering functionality that helps the system to calculate energy savings that the solar system provides.


5. Pump Station


This is the mechanical heart of the solar pool heaters. Generally, Latitude51 Solar offers 3-speed Wilo Star16 pump to control the flow of heat fluid inside the solar pool heater. There are so many control functions in the pump station like manual temperature gauge and pressure meter for reading system performance accurately.


A glass flow meter is present in the pump station that allows you to calculate and set the system flow rate accurately. There are fill and drain valves present that ensures easy charging of the solar pool heating system for initial filling and commissioning.
