Pool solar winterization is an important process to complete if you have a pool with solar panels. This process helps protect your solar pool heating system from the damaging effects of cold weather and snow. Solar pool heating systems are a great way to extend the swimming season, but without proper winterization, they can be damaged or fail to work altogether.
When it comes to pool solar winterization, the first step is to ensure that the solar panels are completely clean before the winter season hits. Make sure to use a suitable cleaning product to clean the panels, and then rinse them off with clean water. This will help prevent any dirt or debris from getting stuck in the panels and potentially causing damage.
Once the panels are clean, it’s important to check the system to make sure all of the components are in good working order. This includes checking the valves, the piping, and any other parts of the solar pool heating system. If any of these components are not functioning properly, they should be repaired or replaced before the winter season.
In addition to checking all of the components, it is also important to take steps to insulate the solar pool heating system. This can be done by wrapping the solar panels in a suitable insulation material. This will help protect the panels from any cold weather and possible snowfall.
Once the system has been drained, the next step is to cover the solar panels. This can be done by using a suitable cover material, such as a tarp. Make sure to securely fasten the tarp to the panels to ensure that it will stay in place during the winter months.
Finally, it is important to turn off the system. This can be done by shutting off the electrical supply to the system. This will prevent any power surges that may occur during the winter months.

Propylene glycol is the most common heat transfer fluid in the freeze protected closed loop solar water heating systems used in this area. These fluids degrade overtime and, just like with your car, should be checked and changed every 5 years to properly maintain your system.
