1st lets remember what causes a pool heater to fail in the first place.
Attic heat exchanger pool heater.
Because the solarattic solar pool heater is a heat exchanger that is installed and hidden in the attic.
The solarattic solar pool heater derives its swimming pool heat source from solar energy.
Solarattic solar pool heater model pcs3 provides solar pool heating without the use of solar roof panels by using the attic and roof as the solar pool heating heat collector and a heat exchanger is placed inside the attic to transfer this free solar heat energy into the swimming pool.
I think since you will save heating your pool they justify charging such a high price for the attic heat exchanger.
The potential of leaking and pumping thousands of gallons into the attic.
This typically will occur within 7 10 years.
I was wondering if i could heat the water in my swimming pool using the heat in the house s attic and i started messing about with a large s heatsink s thermal battery.
Yet the attic heat exchanger is priced higher than a heatpump that includes a compressor the most expensive part in the heatpump.
Solarattic sells a system the pool convection system 2 that sucks hot air out of the attic of your house and pumps it into a heat exchanger to heat your pool.
The unit is basically a heat exchanger and a fan.
The water for my hotwater heater has to pass through it and pick.
And this new solar pool heater does not have any of the problems associated with traditional solar panel systems.
As a bi product the exchanger is blowing air conditioning into your home cooling it down.
This solar pool heater cools the home as it heats the pool.
Simply stated a solarattic pool heater is a heat exchanger mounted in or near your attic or garage that takes the heat from your attic or garage to heat your pool.
