Good morning Théière, To cut to the chase, I would never personally use EV tubes, I sell them but do not recommend them for all sort of reasons, I personally use and sell Flat plate Solar Thermal, I also sell and install PV, We also are heat pump specialists. All I am trying to say is a simple cost effective way to heat a pool / DHW is using EPDM mats installed correctly connected to a heat pump will work 365 days a year 24 hours a a day. There is a care home using EPDM mats on the roof which produce 4000lts hot water (yes 4000) daily providing ALL the hot water needs for the home all year. You can all argue all day about Uv a and B if you want. only trying to help. regards Roy G
