1. Introduction to SolarAttic
SOLAR Without PANELS: SolarAttic has
engineered the P ool C onvection S ystem 3 to
heat your swimming pool using your
attic and roof as a source of free energy.
When your attic gets hot, the SolarAttic
Swimming Pool Heater can add six
weeks on to each end of your swim-
ming season and can raise your pool
temperature 10-15 degrees over a
non-heated state. That means
your family can enjoy the
swimming pool without
having to pay high heat-
ing bills. You get the
benefits of solar pool
heating without
roof mounted so-
lar panels.
BASIC
OPERATION:
The simplified
graphic diagram
to the right shows
how the PCS3
works. When the
sun shines, the roof
acts as a large solar collec-
tor. Heat accumulates inside the attic. The PCS3 safely uses this attic heat to warm your pool. It elimi-
nates the need for solar roof panels. AND, as it heats your pool, it cools your home! This house cooling
effect can lower air conditioning costs 25-30% or more.
DESCRIPTION OF TECHNOLOGY: Solar radiation strikes the roof and reaches the attic through a
process called “conduction.” The SolarAttic pool heater is physically located inside the attic and then
transfers this solar radiation from the attic air into the swimming pool’s water through a process called
“forced air convection.”
AUTOMATION: Full Automation is achieved by using an optional solar controller. When the attic is
4
°
F warmer than the pool and the pool needs heat, the GL235 solar control automatically routes water
up to the PCS3 and turns it on. The solar control can also synchronize the pool pump turning it on at the
same time when an external relay is used in conjunction with the GL235. Temperature sensors sense the
pool and attic temperatures. The pool owner sets the desired pool temperature setting and maximum
heat extraction in the attic occurs automatically. Note: The pool pump must be turned on during the
time the PCS3 is turned on to effect heat transfer. And, water and air flow must be in sync.
2. Consider Before Installation
The following items should be considered prior to any installation.
1. Heat rises in a hot attic. Locate the PCS3 as high in the attic as is practical.
