Solar Pool Heater Panels – How Do They Work?
Solar pool heater panels are a popular investment in Tampa, where there is plenty of sunshine. But for many people, the details of how they actually work are unclear. Let’s take a closer look at how solar panels can be used to heat a pool.
The Pool Heating Process
Solar pool heater panels work with the pool’s existing pump. To be heated, the pool water must go through the following steps:
- The pool’s pump moves the water through valves to a filter.
- Water passes through the filter and is directed to the solar collectors.
- As the water rises through tubes from the bottom of the collectors to the top, it is heated by the sun’s radiant energy.
- The water is directed back to the pool.
This process repeats until the pool water reaches a designated temperature. Once that temperature is achieved, the water will cycle through the filter as usual but will bypass the solar collectors.
Can Solar Pool Heater Panels Work on a Home Shaded by Trees?
Solar panels need abundant sunshine to work effectively. If a property is heavily shaded by trees, then solar panels might not be the best option for heating a pool. However, sometimes there are alternative locations for placing solar panels or other options for making them work well. It’s best to work with an expert installer so that they can provide knowledgeable recommendations. If you’re interested in having solar pool heater panels installed at your Tampa home, contact Florida Energy Water & Air today.

From what I saw in the beginning and the end, there was a huge difference. It was a job well done. It worth my time and money. And everyone should give it a try.
Excellent company, thorough, responsive, and all around amazing!! I'm so happy with my new A/C unit, attic turbine, and solar hot water heater. It has already saved me money on my electric bill.
The experience with all aspects from the presentation to installation and inspection was great. Glenn who presented was kind, informative and extremely helpful in finding the right system for us. The installer Robinson was extremely professional with the installation did a great job and John was also great in explaining the finance and perks!! Overall 10/10
This company worked very hard to remove my very old water heater. They did an excellent job installing my new one. Very professional, and kind. Willing to answer my questions also. Thank you.
Tony, the technician/plumber from Florida Energy Water & Air, was most pleasant, knowledgeable, professional. He arrived on completed the replacement of very old water heater including nearly 100% disappearance of the "knocking noise" in less than an hour, and cleaned up the work area very nicely at the end. I highly recommend his and FEWA to anyone needing these kind of services. Thanks Tony!
My experience with the team at Florida Energy Water & Air has been very positive throughout the whole process. I purchased the water treatment and air purification systems for my new home. Jack, the sales representative, did a very impressive job making the 2-hour demo fun, engaging, and interesting. I had no idea how much time had passed until it was over because he did such a great job keeping my attention. The installation was performed by Robenson a few hours later that same day! He was very professional and did a great job with the installation. I wasn’t a big fan of drilling a hole through my garage to run the water pipe, but he made the hole as small as possible and it looks like the house was built that way. He and his partner did a great job cleaning up after themselves. Finally, John was very friendly, professional, informative, and helpful during the post-installation quality inspection. Overall, it has been a very positive experience.
Great customer service. Jean Amaro was especially helpful and took care of my issues and concerns personally. Technicians were friendly and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend their services.
