Everything owners ask before booking

If your question is not here, send it on WhatsApp — we would rather answer it now than have you guess.

How does solar pool heating actually work?

Your existing pool pump pushes water through a bank of solar collectors mounted on your roof. The sun warms the water as it passes through the panels and it returns to the pool a few degrees warmer on every cycle. There is no additional power draw beyond the pump you already run each day.

Will it increase my electricity bill?

No. Sunlight is free and the system uses your existing pool pump, so there is no new running cost and no gas or element to feed.

How long does installation take?

Most installations are completed in a few hours on the same day. Larger pools, difficult roof access or extended pipe runs can take longer, and we will tell you upfront if that applies to your property.

What roofs can the panels be fitted to?

Tiled, concrete and metal roofs are all suitable. Panels can also be mounted on ground frames, walls or flat sections where a roof is not practical.

Is the system safe for salt-chlorinated pools?

Yes. The collectors are built for saltwater pools and spas and resist frost, hail and wind damage.

Does maintenance cost me anything ongoing?

The system has no moving parts of its own, so it needs little to no maintenance. We show you how to isolate the panels and what to check seasonally when we hand over.

Do you dig up paving to run the pipework?

Where a trench is the cleanest route, we lift the surface carefully, lay the pipework and reinstate the paving as it was. If you would rather upgrade the area while it is open, our paving team can handle that in the same visit.

Which areas do you cover?

We deliver and install throughout Cape Town and the wider Western Cape, including the Northern Suburbs, Southern Suburbs, Atlantic Seaboard, Helderberg and the Winelands.
