Because of it's size the Solar Pod™ Plus has more than 10 times more captive air than the standard Solar Pod™. This means that the internal air volume of the Solar Pod™ Plus is in excess of 100 litres, in comparison with 9.7 litres of the standard Solar Pod™.

The Solar Pod™ Plus has a reflective internal base, generating passive solar gain within the dome - increasing the captive air temperature by an average of 11°C in comparison to the standard Solar Pod™. The higher the temperature within the dome the greater the heat transfers to the pool water passing through the solar heater.

Because of it's size the Solar Pod™ Plus has more than 10 times more captive air than the standard Solar Pod™. This means that the internal air volume of the Solar Pod™ Plus is in excess of 100 litres, in comparison with 9.7 litres of the standard Solar Pod™.

The Solar Pod™ Plus has an increased heat exchanged area comprising of a 360 degree coil that allows 99% exposure to the captive heat generated inside its dome.

It's increased water capacity coupled with the greater volume of solar warmed air, gives the Solar Pod™ Plus a captive air to water ratio of almost 10:1, as opposed to the standard Solar Pod™ having a ration of only 2:1.

This increased ratio of pool water and air within the dome result in a far more efficient heat transfer. To help ensure maximum solar gain, the Solar Pod™ Plus can be tilted towards the sun using its integral fold down legs.

Customer Questions
What temperature will the water reach in summer using one Solar Pod on a pool 3m x 2m x 0.75m?
It's not possible to assign an exact temperature value to the water in a pool measuring 3m x 2m x 0.75m when using one Solar Pod. The heating efficiency of solar pods is closely linked to climatic conditions, and what is gained during the day could be...
Is a Solar Pod suitable to be used in a pool 1.5m x 2.2m x 60cm deep, inside a purpose built enclosure which is insulated?
If you want to gain an extra 4 to 5 degrees after prolonged sunshine. Then yes it will be fine.
Can a Solar Pod operate with water 40-50°C passing through it?
No, a Solar Pod is specifically designed for the purpose of heating swimming pools and is not intended to operate with water temperatures in the 40-50°C range.
Do I have to place Solar Pod Plus 10ft away from the pool, can they be closer?
The Solar Pod Plus is recommended to be placed 10 feet away from the pool for health and safety reasons. Positioning them closer to the pool might be possible, but it would be at your own risk. The recommended distance is intended to keep the Solar Pod...
