![]() They are generally made of heavy-duty rubber or plastic treated with an ultraviolet (UV) light inhibitor to extend the life of the panels. Unglazed collectors don't include a glass covering (glazing). ![]() If you'll only be using your pool when temperatures are above freezing, then you'll probably only need an unglazed collector system. The type you'll need depends on your climate and how you intend to use the collector. Solar pool collectors are made out of different materials. When the collector temperature is similar to the pool temperature, filtered water simply bypasses the collector(s) and is returned to the pool. Some systems include sensors and an automatic or manual valve to divert water through the collector(s) when the collector temperature is sufficiently greater than the pool temperature. In hot climates, the collector(s) can also be used to cool the pool during peak summer months by circulating the water through the collector(s) at night. Pool water is pumped through the filter and then through the solar collector(s), where it is heated before it is returned to the pool.
