Low running cost
After installation, sunshine does the heating. The only power used is your existing pool pump.
Solar pool heating
A warmer pool for more of the year
Simple roof collectors use sunshine to heat your pool water, with almost no running cost once they're installed. We also repair systems others fitted.
Why solar pool heat
Why homeowners choose solar for the pool
Longer season
Swim earlier in spring and later in autumn without a gas or electric heater bill.
Quiet operation
There's no burner or compressor to hum beside the patio. Water simply flows through the collectors.
Long working life
Well-fitted collectors can run for many years with basic checks and occasional servicing.
How it works
Pump, collectors, back to the pool
Your existing pump pushes water up to the roof, where it flows through black collectors that absorb the sun's heat. The warmed water returns to the pool.
A small controller opens the valves only when the roof is hotter than the pool, so you never lose heat on cool nights. Most installs take a day or two.
Existing systems
Repairs and service for the system you already have
Pool collectors face years of sun, heat and chemicals. Cracked headers, leaking fittings, stuck valves and failed controllers are all common and usually fixable.
We inspect, pressure-test and repair, and we'll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense than another repair.
Common questions
Pool heating questions
It depends on pool size, collector area and weather. We size the system to your goals and explain realistic expectations before quoting.
Usually, yes. We check pump size and flow rate during the visit and recommend upgrades only when needed.
Yes. We inspect leaks, valves and controllers regardless of who installed them.
A cover helps keep heat overnight. It's optional, but we'll suggest one if it would clearly help.
