Independent and integrated solar systems from Zane Solar Systems Australia

Independent systems

• In an independent system, the pool water is pumped directly from the pool to the solar absorber on the roof and then returns the heated water back to the pool.
• Independent systems require the pool builder to plan for solar, or to have the professional support of a Zane dealer from the initial stages.
• Independent systems are simple to install and do not interrupt the filtration system.

Integrated solar system

• An integrated system involves diverting the flow of water after the filtration system. Generally a secondary pump pushes the filtered water up to the solar absorber on the roof and returns the heated water back to the pool through the existing pool water return lines.
• An integrated system can be easily retro-fitted without affecting any other part of the pool structure and it uses the filtered water of the pool to ensure that clean water is sent to the roof absorber.
