Free hot water with solar-rapid® pool heating

Your swimming pool filled with warm southern water.

And it won’t cost you a penny. Heat pump heating with oil, gas or electricity is expensive. What’s more, with a heat pump, you have regular maintenance costs. The solar-rapid® collector supplies free hot water to your outdoor pool at all times.

The kit principle:
The solar-rapid® pool heating system is suitable for all types of location. It consists of a small number of components that can be combined.

FAQ

In terms of performance, Premium is definitely a better choice than Classic. In a way, it’s an optimal improvement in thermal efficiency. As far as modifications are concerned, a threaded joint can be reused. A glued joint is not. What’s more, the extra cost of Premium over Classic is negligible. For new projects, we therefore strongly recommend Premium.

With the solar-rapid® pool heater, swimming ponds can also be heated free of charge.

The ROOS ribbed solar tube has a diameter of 25 mm. The ribbed structure triples the surface area. Heat is absorbed more effectively.

The ribbed structure significantly increases stability. As a result, you only need ¼ of the wall thickness required for a smooth solar tube.

Advantage: the sun’s heat reaches the pool water more quickly.

Easy mounting of the ROOS solar collector :

On sloping or vertical surfaces, the collector is only attached from above.
On flat surfaces, simply position the collector.
It’s storm-proof!

  • Fast, secure fixing
  • No gluing on the roof
  • No holes in the tiles
  • If necessary, it can be removed quickly.

The special construction of the collector ensures that the wind is deflected between the ribbed ROOS-solar tubes and avoids the so-called ‘sail effect’.

With the ROOS® solar collector, rain and melt water can simply run off between the ribbed solar tubes.

Unlike flat or artificial rubber sensors.

Advantage:
The roof or any other surface dries out quickly.
This prevents the growth of moss and weeds and the formation of ice in winter.

The large diameter of the ribbed ROOS solar tube (25 mm) and the expansion and contraction caused by temperature fluctuations ensure that no deposits can form in the tubes.

Advantage:
Limescale deposits cannot block the collector!

ROOS® main distribution pipes are tested at a pressure of 3 bar. Pressure of up to 1.5 bar occurs in a swimming pool filtration system. There is therefore a large safety margin and absolute watertightness.

The solar ribs also reinforce the ribbed ROOS solar tube against suction forces from the inside and pressure from the outside. The collector can therefore also be operated in a vacuum.

Advantage:
The pump in your filtration system is considerably relieved when the collector is running.

Rodents like to nibble rubber sensors.

Advantage:
The ROOS® solar collector is made from a special plastic that is smooth, hard and resistant to the sun.

Rodents would break their teeth on it, so they’re not interested.

There is absolutely no need to cover or insulate the ROOS® solar collector with glass.

A solar pool heater operates at low temperatures.

The difference in temperature between the flowing water and the ambient temperature is only a few degrees.

The resulting heat loss is so small as to be negligible.

It is particularly important that the heat absorbed by the water circulating in the collector is transported to the pool as quickly as possible.

Your pool stores all the heat and acts as a buffer.

The ROOS solar collector weighs: full approx. 10 kg / qm, empty approx. 3 kg / qm.

There are 7 kg (= 7 litres) of water per square metre in your collector.

Advantage:
When the ROOS solar system is switched on, you immediately get 7 litres of very hot water per square metre in your pool.
With a collector of around 32m², that’s 224 litres.

As a general rule (if the collector faces south with a 30° slope):
Outdoor pool without cover – collector area = pool area
Outdoor pool with cover – collector area = ½ pool area
Indoor pool – collector area = pool area (or more)

You build a larger collector.

COLLECTORSURFACE REQUIRED
inclined facing east1.5 x larger
inclined facing west1.3 x larger
laid flat1.1 x larger
hung vertically1.5 to 2 x larger

If you have enough space, make your collector longer – it doesn’t cost much more, but you’ll have an even longer swimming season.

It withstands a pressure of 3 bar, but no swimming pool pump delivers more than 1.5 bar, so there’s no risk of leakage.
