THERMAX EXTREME SOLAR POOL HEATING

Gone are the days of leaky plastic mats that line the roofs of pool owner’s homes! Welcome to the new age of Pool heating. The Thermax and Thermax Extreme are consistently rated # 1 in terms of reliability.

The Thermax Extreme use a high powered advanced glazed solar collector to provide thermal energy that is delivered indirectly to the pool. By using a stainless steel or titanium heat exchanger we can eliminate the harmful damage that chlorinated water can have on any solar heating system. The use of a heat exchanger removes the need for oversized pumps to raise the large volumes of water to the top of a roof. Instead, all that is needed is a small circulating pump that draws less than a light bulb with life expectancy of 20 years.

The advantages of the Thermax Pool Heating System are numerous for heating a pool.

To begin with the glazed flat plate solar panels works in indirect light and in cloudy conditions, this means from sunrise to sunset and cloudy days you are still delivering useable heat energy to the pool.
Flat Plates have a life expectancy of 25 plus years.
The overall cost of ownership is substantially lower because it does not require the large pool pump for operation.
The Thermax Extreme pool heaters are not affected by windy conditions. Unglazed solar pool heaters can act like radiators removing the heat energy faster than it can be supplied, even in a slight breeze.
The Thermax Extreme works even in freezing condition. So even when the ambient temperature is colder than the pool water, your solar pool heater is working. Other systems only provide heat when the air temperature is greater than the pool temperature.

With the Thermax Extreme you can extend the pool season by 2-3 months by using our advanced solar pool heating system.

HOW IT WORKS

Unlike all other pool heaters on the market, our solar pool heaters use a closed loop system. Others use an open loop system. This means that the pool pump is responsible for pushing the pool water up against gravity causing excessive wear on the pump and increasing the pumps operating cost by up to 30%. Our solar pool heaters separate the heating fluid and the pool water via a heat exchanger, a small amount of water or glycol (in freezing climates) is circulated through the solar vacuum tubes at a rate of .75-1.25 GPM. They absorb the suns energy through the advanced evacuated tube and then transfer the energy to the pool through a heat exchanger. The hi-flow pool heat exchanger puts very little resistance on the pool pump allowing it to work at its normal capacity. The chlorinated pool water never actually comes in contact with any portion of the pool loop, which extends the life and your investment by up to 5 times that of a regular pool heater. Our advanced solar pool heaters are so efficient they can start to turn on delivery heat as soon as the sun rises in the morning. No need for direct sunlight, in fact even in light rain you will find your solar pool heater is delivery heat energy to the pool.

Digital Solar Pool Controller

The digital solar differential controller maximizes the solar output and includes safety features such as freeze protection, holiday cooling mode and even has advanced energy monitoring that will tell you your daily savings. Our system can transmit the data to the internet giving you real time performance and historical data on any pc or smart phone via the Free Resol VBus.net. The controller measures the temperature at the collectors and compares it to the temperature of the pool. When the solar is hotter than the pool, the controller will activate the pump station.

Solar Pool Heat Exchangers

The heat transfer between the pool takes place in a highly efficient solar heat exchanger. For saltwater pool or high chlorine levels we recommend upgrading to titanium as it will last much longer and is not affected by the chemicals present in a pool. Unlike plate heat exchangers our solar pool heat exchangers are designed specifically for the application of pool flow rates that can be as high as 50 GPM. The large unrestricted flow on the pool side absorbs the hot thermal energy supplied by the solar side. The two liquids do not physically contact each other.

Solar Pump Station

Unlike traditional Solar Pool Heater, the THERMAX EXTREME does not reply on the pool’s pump. Because it uses a closed loop system to move the heat through the heat exchanger, it needs very little energy and a small pump using only 40 watts can do the job. This is a big energy saving feature! It takes a lot of energy to move water to the top of a roof. However, in a closed loop, gravity equally pulls the water down making the energy requirement must less. Complete with fill & drain valves, manual temp gauges, pressure release valve and a small expansion tank. The solar pump station commissions a system quickly while providing all the safety and service features needed.
