FAQs

A solar pool heating system can last for many years if you take the proper measures to care for it. While they require very little maintenance, you should regularly check the panels and ensure they’re clean and debris-free.During winter, you should keep your pool covered to avoid unwanted debris entering it and affecting its heating system. In summer, ensure your pool filter pump and filtration system are in good working order and test the health of your water twice a week to check its pH, chlorine levels, alkalinity, and calcium hardness.

On average, your solar pool heating system will increase your pool temperature by 5-15 degrees more than its current temperature. Therefore, a solar pool heater should not be relied on to create a warm pool all year long. However, multiple factors will impact the temperature of your swimming pool during the winter months, including the size of the solar collector, roof orientation, and the amount of shade your pool and roof get. If you want to swim in winter, you could also utilise another heating solution, such as a heat pump, to boost your pool during the coldest winter days.

At Summertime Pools, we pride ourselves on flexible payment plans for all our regional Victoria and Melbourne customers’ swimming pool needs. Our priority is to make our solar pool heating systems as accessible as possible for all financial situations. That’s why we have partnered with Handypay so you can create a simple and affordable payment plan to commence solar pool heater installation.

Our plans are available for one to seven-year terms, with the option to make weekly, fortnightly or monthly payments at your convenience. If you’re interested and are over 18 years of age, an Australian permanent resident or citizen and receive employment income, you may be eligible for our payment plan.

There is no definitive answer to this question, as it depends on several factors. Solar pool heaters are typically more expensive to install than electric pool heaters, but they definitely are more efficient, low maintenance and environmentally friendly. Electric pool heaters are less expensive to install and a reliable and consistent method to heat your pool all year round, using the heat from the air to convert it into heat energy. If you’re looking for an efficient and eco-friendly way to keep your swimming pool warm, discuss with our friendly team which option best suits your needs.

The specific time it takes for a solar pool heater to heat your pool depends on your pool size, climate and location. More tropical climates like Brisbane would take three days to heat, while a temperate environment like regional Victoria or Melbourne would take the better part of a week to heat. In more tropical locations, solar heaters for inground pools can yield around 8kwh per square metre per day.

In more milder climates, however, the figure falls to nearer 4 kWh per day. As a result, solar heating can warm a 32 m2 (42,000 litres) pool in Darwin by around 5.5 degrees in a day. In comparison, the same size pool in Melbourne will only be warmed by a little under 2.5ᵒ C in a day. By consulting with our expert staff, we will help you select the best pool heater option for your home to perform optimally.
