The Keops Solar Pod

The Keops Solar Pod - A new and simple way to use solar heating on any swimming pool.

The Solar Pod is designed with above ground pools in mind but it can be used on in-ground pools also.

Water from the pool circulates around the specially designed heat absorbing coils. The coils are under a clear polycarbonate dome that creates a "greenhouse" effect, boosting the heat.

Each pod is a compact 570mm x 570mm x 320mm (about 2ft x 2ft) and comes with all the necessary bits to connect straight to your pool pipes and to connect one to another. The only tool you will need is a screwdriver.

The manufacturer states that one Solar Pod is enough to warm 10,000 litres but we recommend a usage of one pod per 5,000 litres (about 1,000 gallons) of pool water.  See the table below for how many pods per pool and our prices. 

Pool Size	Approx Volume	Approx Volume	PoolStore Price
8ft Round	4,100 litres	One pod	£120.00
10ft Round	7,600 litres	Two pods	£240.00
12ft Round	13,100 litres	Three pods	£360.00
15ft Round	19,100 litres	Four Pods	£480.00

Main Base with  2 stands
