Solar Pool Heating
Swim in comfort, courtesy of the sun.

• Extend your swimming season.
• Eliminate rising energy costs to heat your pool.
• Enjoy minimal maintenance and maximum comfort.

Solar pool heating systems work extremely well for recreational pool use. Enjoy the comfort of sun warmed water in the low to high 80's. Furthermore, you will extend your swimming season and enjoy your pool in late spring and early fall.

System Sizing and Function
The systems are sized based on the size of your current pool. You will need a system equal to 50 - 100% of the pool surface. For example, a pool that is 20' X 30' would need 8 to 10 of the 4' X 10' solar pool collectors. Your current pool pump circulates the pool water through the series of collectors to warm the water. A pump timer and solar controls regulate the temperature. A thermal pool cover will decrease heat loss at night. The solar pool collectors are usually mounted on a relatively south facing roof near the pool. They can also be ground mounted for aesthetics, or if inadequate roof space is available.

Your Investment
Solar pool heating is one of the most efficient uses of solar energy. Most systems can be installed for $3,500 to $5,500 and will often pay for themselves in less than five years. As energy prices rise your solar pool heating investment will look better and better. Like our other solar options, solar pool heating systems require minimal maintenance and will continue to save you money and energy for 20 or more years!
