How can I install a solar heating system on my new pool?
We just signed with the pool company today and they will begin the work to install an inground pool in our yard. I’ve asked that they put in the necessary plumbing so that we can add the solar system later (paying approx $400 for 3 pipes?). How difficult is it to do this? Is this something relatively simple/straightforward? I should add that we have a computer control panel, so according to our pool man, we should be able to hook up to it and have it controlled remotely. So my question is, once it’s stubbed for solar, what are the next steps and best cost approach? Any guidance is greatly appreciated!
I installed my own solar system as soon as they finished our pool. I didn’t have them plumb anything for it. There is only one valve you’ll need and one backflow preventer and they both come with the solar system. Then you just cut into the return line and add the valve which will direct the water to your panels or bypass them. Then add a “Tee” for the water to come back from the panels. Nothing to it. And by the way, instead of hooking our solar system up to the control panel, we chose to put in an automatic thermostat control valve.

Just get the best equipment sounds like you can afford it. Then buss in the poor and charge a $1.00 each. It’s less than they have to pay at the public pool and it will offset your expenditure.
