Solar Hot Tub Kits, Solar Energy Systems - Everything Solar Made Easy Today -- by ABC Solar Incorporated

Basic kit is just $999.00.

If you have a 240v hot tub and keep is running this solar hot tub kit can save you up to $200 a month in electricity costs. This kit includes all major parts. You just provide the wire and piping from your hot tub to your roof.

Installation is easy and is Do it Yourself. Your handyman can also do it easily.

Solar hot water is easy with the Solar Hot Tub Kit.

HOW IT WORKS!

The fuel from the sun is being used to do TWO primary jobs with the Amazing Solar Hot Tub Kit.

  • Power a 12v circulation pump (solar electric)
  • Heat the water (solar heater)

    Basically we take water from your hot tub by the 12v circulation pump. This pump operates at 3 to 5 GPM (gallons per minute) depending on the size of the solar electric panel (bigger panel, more flow) and how much sun is hitting said panel. The pump we use can move water as high as 60 feet of head. This require more power to go higher. Our 68 watt solar electric panel does really well up to 20 feet of head.

    The Solar Thermal panel(s) now come into play. The water from the circulation pump is pushed thru the solar thermal panels and this is where we gain the heat in the water. The Amazing Solar Hot Tub Kit features a 4' x 20' solar thermal panel. This 80 sq. ft. panel is rated at 80,000 btu in heating power. Once the water is pushed thru the Solar Thermal Panels it is returned to your hot tub. At peak sun we find up to a 30 degree F increase in tempature from the hot tub source to the return solar heated water.

    Sound simple so far? The Amazing Solar Hot Tub Kit can be incorporated into the plumbing of existing hot tubs, but we recommend keeping the systems seperate. This allows you to be very flexible on how you use the Solar Hot Tub kit.

  • The key system design principle for the Amazing Solar Hot Tub is:

    When there is enough sun
    to power the 12v pump,
    there is enough sun
    to heat the water.


    Completely Solar Powered
  • Put your hot tub anywhere
  • No SCE or GAS Company to worry about
  • Hot hot hot! One sunny day from tap water to 105 degrees in a 300 gallon tub.
  • This is GUILT-FREE hot tubbing.
  • Educational, fascinating and fun

    This Kit Includes:
  • 1. 68 watt Solar Electric Panel
  • 2. 12v DC Water Circulation Pump
  • 3. 4' x 20' solar water panel
  • 4. Themostat,well and knob

    PLEASE NOTE THAT THE SOLAR THERMAL PANEL FOR THE BASIC KIT IS EXTRUDED PLASTIC.

    HOW IT WORKS! Continued

    Since we have the water flowing at 3 to 5 GPM we were inspired by a customer to add inline filtration. We added an inline cartridge small pool filter. This allowed the Amazing Solar Hot Tub Kit to do three jobs...pump, filter, and heat.

    THE FOLLOWING ARE VARIOUS Options (call or email for prices):


    Skyline! Framed Solar Thermal Panels

  • Polycarbonate glazing
  • All Copper Solar Absorber
  • Rigid Foam Insulation
  • 150 MPH Wind Tested mount system
  • 6' Long x 20" wide, 10 s/f
  • light and easy to carry
  • 10,000 btu each panel
  • $400.00 each.

    These panels are great, light and easy to deal with. They are perfect for roofs that don't have room for the 4' x 20' plastic solar thermal panel. We think you can use three of these Skyline panels.

    Other Options

    More solar water panels - you can heat pools
    More solar electric panels - for pushing water up real high.

  • We accept PAYPAL

    Since we have the water flowing at 3 to 5 GPM we were inspired by a customer to add inline filtration. We added an inline cartridge small pool filter. This allowed the Amazing Solar Hot Tub Kit to do three jobs...pump, filter, and heat.

    STERILIZATION! Some great things came from the tragedy of Hurricane Katrina. During the storm and its aftermath we came to consider ways to sterilize the water with UV Canisters. We found by adding an inline UV sterilizer to our Amazing Solar Hot Tub Kit we could make the hot tub crystal clear and can almost qualify it as safe to drink! Now our Amazing Solar Hot Tub Kit is doing four jobs:

  • Pump
  • Filter
  • Heat
  • Sterilize

    The Water from the the The Amazing UV Solar Hot Tub Kit is silky and has no smell. The water is amazing.

    With batteries and more solar electric panels we could do the circulation, filtration and UV sterliziation 24 hours a day. This would make for exceptional water. It would require piping that would route the water away from the solar thermal panels as pumping to them at night would cool the water.

    (1) Water enters the purifier and flows into the annular space between the quartz sleeve and the chamber wall.
    (2) Within the chamber, water is exposed to intense germicidal ultraviolet radiation.
    (3) Transformer with LED indicator light provides visual indication of germicidal lamp operation.
    (4) Water leaving the purifier is instantly ready for use.

    Now, the inline cartridge filter and the UV Sterilizer are optional items. We strongly suggest them, but do not require.

    Solar Hot Tub Kits
    Solar Pool Heating Too!

    This solar hot tub kit can be used to heat above-ground and inground swimming pools. Two-kits for the average pool should raise your temperature 10 degrees during the swimming season.

    LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS

    A system is separated from the remainder of the universe by a boundary which may be imaginary or not, but which by convention delimits a finite volume. The possible exchanges of work, heat, or matter between the system and the surroundings take place across this boundary. Boundaries are of four types: fixed, moveable, real, and imaginary.

    --From Wikipedia.

    Ok, my interpretation of the Law of Thermodynamics is applied to the solar hot tub kit and its use for heating pools.

    Today, solar pool heating systems use the standard AC Pool pump as the mechanical device to push water from the pool to the roof, thru solar thermal collectors, and back heated to the pool. These AC pool pumps are one of the biggest users of electricity for homes with pools. These pump at 60 to 70 Gallons per minute (GPM). Solar heating means the pump will be on longer to heat, in most cases.

    This method is tried and true and will raise the temperature of your pool by 10 or more degrees. If you want more temperature, add more solar thermal collectors.

    At Solar Hot Tub dot com we believe in the solar powered slow pump for heating a pool.

    Our 4 GPM vs 60 GPM pump
    for pool heating.

    Until proven wrong, we believe the following:

    Test configuration: 2 units of 4' x 20' extruded plastic solar thermal water heater.

    1. the 4GPM solar pump - heats the water 25+ degrees as it passes thru the solar thermal water heater.

    2. the 60GPM AC pool pump heats the water 2 or 3 degrees as it passes thru the solar thermal water heater.

    We believe that the law of thermodynamics applies and both systems will provide the same heating result to the pool.


    Cost Difference is the key.

    The Solar Hot Tub Kit pump is off-the-grid and operates on a 68 watt solar electric panel. Free to operate.

    The AC Pool Pump solar pool heating system costs 200 to 400 kWh a month in grid electricity. at $.35 per kWh this is $70 to $140 a month.

    NOTE: we also sell a solar powered pool pump that operates at 60 to 70 GPM on 1KW of solar electric panels. This pump is designed for pool circulation and filtration. Please see Modern Solar Estate
