[QUOTE="John Preston, post: 353629, member: 24083"] PV really isn't the answer, not on it's own anyway. Sure use it to power a few pumps, filters etc.... Solar collectors is the best way. (someone else mentioned it earlier, the same as a solar hot water system) I have a 20 tube system to heat a 180lt tank to 60c and I had to fit a bypass valve to a heat dump due to the amount of heat these things generate. Obviously 180lt isn't much compared to a swimming pool but install 3 or 4 x 20 tube collectors and I'm sure it'll get to 26c pretty quickly. Plenty of tools out there to calculate it anyway.. Does your client know the difference? maybe someone just told him to heat it with solar and he immediately thinks PV? [/QUOTE]
