Beautiful sunny days should mean hours spent relaxing in your pool. Pity the water is still way too cold to make it enjoyable. However, with solar heating for pools, it doesn’t have to be that way. In Australia, we can make the most of our warm, sunny climate and extend your family’s swimming time through spring, summer and even autumn with the installation of economical and eco-friendly PVC solar matting and cockatoo resistant solar heating panels.
How it Works
A pool solar heating system involves pumping pool water through a series of tubes within a panel (known as a solar collector). These panels are installed in a sunny position on a suitably positioned roof or rack. The suns free energy then heats the circulating pool water (think of a garden hose left in the sun) and returns it to the pool at an elevated temperature. The process repeats until your pool reaches the desired temperature which is pre-set by the pool owner.
