BUY 4 AND GET 1 FREEHeat your pool with the warmth of the sun using the OKU 2000 Max-Absorber solar collector. This solar collector has an absorption surface of 2 m² and directly transfers solar heat to the pool water flowing through it. This supports pool heating without fuel or an electric heating element.
The collector is connected to the pool's water circulation system. The pump circulates the water through the black plastic absorber, after which the heated water flows back into the pool. The heat output depends on the amount of sunlight, the placement, the outside temperature, and the number of connected collectors.
Pool heating with solar energy
The black absorption surface absorbs solar heat and transfers it to the water flowing past it. According to the provided product information, the efficiency can reach approximately 85% under favorable conditions.
The sun provides the heat, but a pump is still required for water circulation. Whether the existing filter pump has sufficient capacity depends on factors such as the pipe length, the height difference, and the arrangement of the collectors. Longer pump run times may cause additional electricity consumption.
Expandable to the size of your pool
The modular system makes it possible to combine multiple collectors. This allows you to match the total absorption surface to the size of the pool and the desired heating support.
As a guideline, an absorption surface of 50 to 80% of the water surface is recommended. For an 8 x 4 meter pool, this means 16 to 25.6 m² of absorption surface, or approximately 8 to 13 collectors of 2 m². The correct sizing also depends on the location, the use of a pool cover, and the desired water temperature.
Open connections of your choice
The OKU 2000 Max-Absorber has four connection points that are closed upon delivery. During installation, you only open the connections required for your setup, according to the installation instructions. Unused connection points remain closed, so no separate sealing caps are required.
The collector offers connection options for 25 and 38 mm. The corresponding hose sets are available separately. Before opening the connection points, check which pipe layout and connection size you will use.
Various placement options
The collectors can be placed on a suitable surface, a roof, or a support structure. According to the product information, a slanted or vertical arrangement is also possible.
Choose a location with sufficient sunlight and as little shade as possible. The orientation and tilt angle affect the heat output. Coordinate the mounting, support, and pipe layout with the installation instructions, and take into account the weight of the water-filled installation.
Plastic suitable for use with pool water
The absorber is made from a single piece of plastic and is produced in Germany according to the product information. The material is intended for use with chlorinated and salt-containing pool water, within the manufacturer's permitted water parameters.
The stated temperature resistance of the material is −50 to +115 °C. Always follow the installation instructions for winterizing and, if necessary, draining the installation. Resistance to low temperatures does not automatically mean that a complete, water-filled installation can survive winter without measures.
Can be combined with a solar control system
With a suitable differential temperature control system, you can automate the heat utilization. This compares the temperature of the collector with that of the pool water and, depending on the installation, activates a pump or valve when heating is beneficial.
This helps prevent water from flowing through a colder collector and thereby losing heat. A pool cover is a useful addition to retain the accumulated heat for longer.
Connect compatible OKU Max Absorber solar collectors with this 38 x 5 x 100 mm connecting hose. The hose forms the water connection between the connection points of two collectors. Use the included hose clamps to secure both ends.
The short version is intended for collectors placed close together. This makes the hose a practical component for setting up, expanding, or maintaining your OKU solar heating system.
Connection between solar collectors
When combining multiple absorbers, the connections must be linked together. This hose is intended for compatible 38 mm connection points and allows the pool water to flow between the collectors.
Before installation, check that the connection size and the distance between the collectors match the hose. Ensure that the connection is installed without tension or kinks.
Includes hose clamps
The included hose clamps secure the hose to both connection points. Slide the hose sufficiently over the connections and place the clamps according to the system's installation instructions.
When installed correctly, a firm, watertight connection is created. Check the connection for leaks when you restore flow to the system.
Compact size
The hose has an inner diameter of 38 mm, a wall thickness of 5 mm, and a length of 100 mm. The short length keeps the connection between adjacent collectors compact.
For greater distances or different pipe routes, a different connection solution is required. Therefore, coordinate the placement of the absorbers in advance with the available connection space.
Protect your pool solar heating system against negative pressure with this ventilation valve set for 50 mm PVC pipes. The valve allows air in when the pressure in the piping drops, for example when the pool pump stops and water flows back from higher-placed solar collectors. This helps the set limit unnecessary stress on the collectors and pipes.
The set is intended for solar heating systems where pool water is pumped through collectors. The pump itself does not need to run on solar energy for this: the solar collectors provide the heat, while the pump ensures water circulation.
Allows air in during negative pressure
Solar collectors are often placed on a roof or elevated structure. When the pump stops, flowing-back water can cause negative pressure. The ventilation valve then allows air to flow into the system to limit this negative pressure.
The function is therefore to ventilate the installation. This is not the same as an automatic air vent that removes trapped air from a filled system.
Supports draining the installation
By allowing air in, the valve can support the draining of collectors and pipes designed for this purpose. This only works when the pipe layout and the other components allow it.
The ventilation valve therefore does not replace a drain valve and does not guarantee that the entire installation will be free of water. When preparing for winter, also follow the instructions for the solar collectors and check if water remains in low pipe sections.
Connection to 50 mm PVC piping
The set is intended for PVC pipes with a diameter of 50 mm. The black PVC connection components make it possible to incorporate the ventilation valve into the solar heating piping.
Carefully prepare glued connections with suitable cleaning and adhesive products. Observe the prescribed curing time before putting the installation back into use. Then check the connections for leaks.
Placement tailored to the system
The mounting height and position are important for proper operation. With higher-placed collectors, the valve is usually incorporated into the high part of the installation. The exact position and mounting direction must comply with the instructions for the valve and the solar heating system.
Keep the valve accessible for inspection and ensure that the air opening remains unobstructed. Before installation, also check the pipe size and suitability for your collector setup.
