Water leaves the pool
Your existing filtration pump draws water from the pool and pushes it through the filter, exactly as it does today.
The process
How solar pool heating actually works
No mystery, no gimmicks. A simple loop between your pool plant and a bank of solar collectors, installed in a few focused hours.
The loop
Four stages, one continuous cycle
It flows up to the collectors
A flow line carries filtered water to the solar panel array on your roof. A valve set lets you send water to the panels or bypass them entirely.
The sun does the heating
Water spreads through the panel channels in a thin layer with a large surface area exposed to the sun, absorbing heat as it travels.
Warmer water returns
The return line feeds the heated water back into the pool. Each circulation cycle lifts the average temperature further.
Installation day
What happens at your home
Most installations take only a few hours from arrival to handover.
1
Arrival and protection
We set up access, protect the pool surround and lay out the panels and hardware before anything goes on the roof.
2
Mounting the array
Panels are fixed with hardware suited to your roof — tile, concrete or metal — and aligned for the best sun exposure available.
3
Pipework and valves
Flow and return lines are run neatly, clipped and, where needed, trenched. Isolation and bypass valves are fitted at the plant.
4
Test, flush and commission
The system is filled, checked for leaks under pressure and balanced so flow through the panels is even.
5
Handover and clean-up
We show you how to operate the valves for summer and winter, then reinstate any lifted surface and clear the site.
Detail matters
Neat work, on the roof and at the plant
Clipped pipework, correct fixings and valves you can actually reach.
