RM Solar thermal solar panels are installed on a south facing roof or poolside area. The panels are connected through a sealed circuit to a specially designed chlorine resistant pool heat exchanger. The sealed circuit is filled with a non-toxic glycol solution.

When light from the panels strikes the absorber surfaces heat is created. If the pool requires the heat a modulating pump pushes the glycol solution (and the heat it carries) to the heat exchanger. The heat exchanger carries the heat (but not the glycol) to the pool water that is pumped through it. The heat exchange operation is carried out immediately before the pool water is returned into the pool, after it has been filtered.

Provided the temperature at the panels is higher than the temperature in the pool, RM Solar thermal solar panels will heat the pool.
