			<![CDATA[Dear all,<br /><br />Can anyone let me know the usual method of linking an evacuated tube solar system to heat my small pool? Will I need a big HW store or will a heat exchanger suffice? Also, presumably there will be controls available for a system like this.<br /><br />Kind regards,<br /><br />Stuart<img src="/newforum/extensions/Vanillacons/smilies/standard/bigsmile.gif" alt=":bigsmile:" title=":bigsmile:" />]]>

			<![CDATA[I am not an expert on pools but i had a conversation with a nameless (& tipsy) evacuated tube sales man a month ago who said that lower technology Suncell type panels were more economic for pools. so they may be worth a look.  From memory no store or heat exchanger is required you just take the water streight of the filter.  Rember to drain down in the winter.]]>
