Solar Pods are a new revolutionary way to heat your Swimming Pool. They require no electricity, simply position the Solar Pod Plus in an area where it can catch the best sunlight, plumb it inline with your existing pump and filter and allow the pod to absorb the suns energy. The heat energy will then be transferred in to your pool.
The Solar Pod Plus features a reflective internal base generates solar gain within the dome which in turn increases the captive air temperature by an average of 11°C compared to the standard Solar Pod. The higher the temperature within the dome, the greater the heat transfers to the pool water. The size of the Solar Pod Plus has more than 10 times more captive air than the standard pod and has an increased heat exchanged area comprising of a 360 degree coil. This allows 99% exposure to the captive heat generated inside its dome.
To help ensure maximum solar gain, the Solar Pod Plus features integral fold down legs allowing the pod to be tilted towards the sun to ensure maximum solar gain.
The Solar Pod Plus should be drained and stored away during winter months to protect it from frost damage.
