How Solar Pool Heating Works

A solar pool heating system makes use of a pump that absorbs water from the pool through to the solar collector installed on a roof.

The pumped water is heated through the sun’s energy before returning to the pool.

Why You Need a Solar Pool Heater

Solar power heaters typically last up to 20 years. Although they have higher upfront fees, these systems are economical and environmentally friendly. Regardless of the type of pool heating product you prefer, you can save on energy bills as the running costs are minimal. Our solar pool heating options can be installed with an automatic temperature control system. This feature enables homeowners like you to adjust the water temperature of your pool as well as your desired operating times.

Our pool shop also has heat pumps and gas heaters to widen your options.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where can a solar collector be installed?

Solar collectors can be installed on a flat roof, preferably north-faced. This position is most likely to produce the most energy from the sun’s heat. Additional collectors may be required in some cases to maximise heat absorption.

Can a solar heating system be fitted to an existing pool?

Absolutely. There are retrofit systems that can easily be installed on existing concrete and fibreglass pools, both new and old. You need not worry about affecting the pool structure when fitting a solar heating system to your pool.

How quickly will a solar pool heater work?

Although choosing the appropriate size and system contributes to heating a pool, the answer will depend on the climate condition in your area. In warmer climates, it could take up to 2 days for the water temperature to increase. The heating process may extend up to 4 days in cooler climates.
