Heat Perception Based - Solar Pool Heating Sizing Calculator
This revolutionary interactive sizing calculator will size a solar heating system for a pool or spa, based on a universal "feels like" air temperature; recognizing the fact that people in cooler states are heartier than people in warmer state, hence adjusting for Australian regional and seasonal acclimatization factors.
For a full instant quote fill out all four tabs/pages and it will supply a link that will put your system into your cart. If you get stuck or have a question you can submit the details using the green Submit button on the "Instant Quote" tab and, we'll get back to you via email shortly.
If you want an accurate assessment of monthly pool water temperatures,
try our solar
pool heating simulator/calculator. Just plug in the advice on
system sizing you get from this calculator into the simulator to see if
you're going to be happy with the season extension.
Note: use Google maps to approximate your collector compass facing direction; true North points up on the page.
* Use a time and area average, hence if half the pool is shaded for
half the day, the setting should be 25%. As another example if 100% of
the pool is shaded for half the day use a 50% setting.
§ Please note, while a solar blanket will make a large difference to the
water temperature, we don't recommend you size down your system as you
may get tired of using a blanket, or you may sell your house. However,
if you do want to size it down you can use the previous Usage,
budget and expectations settings.
‡ Please refer to our solar pool heating manuals on our download
page for different types of plumbing arrangement. Note: manual
systems are sized with 20% larger collectors to account for the fact
that most people only use manual type systems over the weekend.
