Residential Solar Pool Heating

There are three options for heating your home swimming pool that Pool Heating Solutions WA specialises in.

  1. Electric Heat Pumps
  2. Solar Strip Matting
  3. Rigid Panel Solar System

Each system has different benefits and advantages, but can perform well given the right conditions. We are happy to advise on the best system based on your pool size, location and requirements.

Electric Heat Pumps 

Electric Heat Pumps for pool heating are effective in extending your swimming season without relying on the suns energy and extremely resistant in our climate. They are efficient in working with smaller and plunge pools alike, which seems to be the current trend. This reduces the running cost in the long run and there is a simple installation process for this. A touch key pad is used to monitor the temperature and some current models are available with wifi running from your preferred device.
We recommend Madimack Heat Pumps.

Benefits of Electric Heat Pumps
  • Pool size has generally decreased in urban areas and as such pools only need a small pool heater
  • Many homes now have or are planning to have PV Solar Panels on their roof, which is a big advantage in saving running costs, therefore heat pumps are becoming more popular
  • Some electric heat pumps have also reduced in price due to demand and so it can sometimes be a cost equivalent to a solar installation for smaller pools
  • Heat pumps take heat from the air to heat your pool and do not require the intermittency of sunshine like solar matting system, therefore they are more efficient and more economical than gas

Solar Strip Matting 

Solar Strip Matting is mainly manufactured in Australia using high Australian Standards and UV resistance. Cold water is pumped from your pool through solar absorbers, onto the hot roof where it collects the heat and returns it to the pool. This system is simple, yet effective with low running costs to allow for longer swimming time. Suitable for most homes.
We recommend and use Boss Rubber products.

Benefits of Solar Matting
  • Lower running costs and higher efficiency using the sun’s free solar energy
  • Durability and long life with no internal wiring, controls, circuits or moving parts solar pool heating is highly durable
  • Easy to operate and highly effective
  • Solar Pool Heating is a substantial investment with over 90% of people opting to invest again as this system enables them to enjoy their swimming pool for a longer period each year
  • Most pools are only used for less than 3 months of the year in the peak of summer, and then only during the day. With solar heating, you can double your swimming season and enjoy your pool twice as much for a small portion of the cost of your pool.

Rigid Panel Solar System

Rigid panel system work on the same principle as solar matting, installed on the roof, with pool water transferred to the pool by a separate pump and run by a solar controller. Rigid panels are a rectangular modular panel design, connected to each other using heavy duty unions. For panel efficiency, they require 80% of the allocated roof area. They are ideal for steep pitched roof and high wind locations.

We recommend and use Heliocol Products.

Why you would use Rigid Solar Panels for heating your pool
  • Energy Efficiency: Rigid solar panels harness free solar energy, reducing the need for electricity or gas, which lowers energy bills and minimizes environmental impact.
  • Durability: Made with solid materials like tempered glass, rigid solar panels are built to withstand harsh weather conditions, offering long-term reliability.
  • Low Maintenance: Once installed, rigid solar panels require little maintenance, making them a cost-effective option over time compared to other heating systems.
  • Consistent Performance: Rigid panels have a higher energy conversion efficiency, providing steady heating for your pool, especially during sunny days.
  • Increased Pool Usage: By extending the swimming season through solar heating, you can enjoy your pool in cooler months without incurring high heating costs.
