Description

The OKU solar collector type 1001 is an essential component of the OKU solar collector system, which efficiently heats your pool water using solar energy. This solar collector functions as an intermediate panel and, together with type 1000 (corner piece) and type 1002 (intermediate piece for horizontal rows), ensures a fully scalable and expandable system. The system is ideal for both private swimming pools and commercial applications, offering an environmentally friendly and cost-effective solution for heating pool water.

The OKU solar collector type 1001 is designed to provide maximum heat output through full flow of the pool water. The panel is made of sturdy polyethylene (PE) and is both frost-resistant and walkable. This means it is not only resistant to extreme temperatures (from -50°C to +115°C), but also durable enough to last for many years, even with intensive use.

The system is easy to install and can be placed in various locations, such as on a roof, a rack next to the pool, or against a wall. For optimal performance, it is recommended to combine the solar collectors with a good pool cover so that the heat generated by the solar collectors is retained in the pool water.

Conclusion

The OKU solar collector type 1001 offers an efficient and sustainable way to heat your pool water using solar energy. It is an essential intermediate panel within the OKU system and works optimally in combination with the other types of solar collectors (type 1000 and 1002). The system is weather- and frost-resistant, easy to install, and ideal for anyone looking for an environmentally friendly and affordable pool heating solution. By using the right cover and multiple panels, maximum efficiency can be achieved, resulting in a wonderfully warm pool all year round.

Pros and cons

• Efficient energy use: The use of solar energy makes heating your swimming pool an environmentally friendly
• inexpensive solution, with a potential output of up to 85% efficiency.
• Expandable system: The OKU solar collector system is easy to expand, making it suitable for both small private swimming pools
• large commercial swimming pools.
• Frost
• weather resistant: The solar collector is resistant to extreme temperatures (between -50°C
• +115°C)
• can be used in any weather without issues. Furthermore, the collector is sturdy enough to be walked on.
• Long service life: The durable polyethylene material
• robust construction ensure that the solar collector will last for many years without any loss of performance.
• Simple installation: Thanks to the integrated header pipe
• standard connections, the system is easy to mount, whether on roofs, scaffolds next to the pool, or against a wall.
• Space required: For optimal heating capacity, you need multiple solar collectors, which can take up a fair amount of space depending on the size of your pool.
• Manual bypass required for regulation: Although the collector works well in combination with a filter system, the flow rate must be regulated manually using a bypass. An additional solar system is required for automatic regulation.
• Extra installation supplies: Although the solar collectors are relatively easy to install, you need extra connecting hoses
• accessories to complete the installation, such as PVC piping
• glue (not included).
