Ninety percent of the heat loss on most pools is from the water surface.

Therefore, the surface area of the swimming pool determines the total area of the solar collectors needed to heat the pool.

Select EZ Heat systems from the table in the EZ Heat table.

The solar collector area provided by this table should warm the pool during the normal swimming season to a temperature that is 8 to 10 degrees higher than that of an unheated pool if you use a cover at night and in bad weather.

For higher temperatures and a longer season you can double the size of the system by adding a Basic system to an EZ Heat system.

Use Coupling Kit Pt. #1006. To double the size of EZ Heat Deluxe use System Extender, Pt. #1020.

With any solar system, if you want to eliminate the pool cover and raise the temperature of the pool more than 10 degrees above an unheated pool, the total area of your solar collectors should be at least 60 percent of the pool surface area. In addition, you should increase the size to compensate for less than ideal locations.
The manufacturer charges a 25% re-stocking fee on any returns.
