Solar Pool Heating Sunshine Coast

Alto Pacific have installed over 3000 solar pool heating systems and are one of the leading solar pool heating suppliers in South East Queensland.

Keeping your family pool warm all year may not be as complicated (or as costly) as you may think.  Solar pool heating works by taking water from your pool and passing it through tubing placed on your roof using the natural warmth of the sun to heat the water through the tubing. In summer, the system can be used to cool your pool using Alto Pacific’s unique tropical mode.

The longevity of this system is exceptional, easily lasting 10+ years withstanding the heat of the sun; provided the right products are installed by an experienced professional.

At Alto Pacific, we are committed to delivering to you, superior service and product:

  • We only use Australian made Nitrol tubing, not rubber based products that breakdown in UV light.

Why Use Solar To Heat Your Pool?

Installing a solar-powered heater for your pool can greatly reduce your heating costs for your pool. Their operating costs are very low compared to gas heaters and heat pumps. A solar-powered heater is typically the most cost-effective way to use solar energy in most climates.

Benefits of Solar Pool Heating

Swimming in ice-cold water is not fun. Swimming all year long in your pool is possible with solar pool heaters and you can enjoy the ideal pool water temperature.

In addition to heating up your pool, solar pool heating can also save you money on energy. Below are the five top solar pool heating benefits.

  • Low-cost and energy-efficient: This solar-powered pool heater costs nothing to operate, unlike an electric pool heater. This means you won’t be suddenly hit with a high electric bill since the units will only run on solar power.
  • They are an environmentally friendly choice: Solar energy is renewable. Solar pool heaters utilize solar panels to convert sunlight into heat. Solar pool heaters emit zero carbon dioxide when they heat water.
  • Simple to maintain: Solar pool heaters are easy to maintain and have low maintenance requirements, which makes them a smart choice to have.
  • Extended swimming season: It is likely that you will not be able to use your swimming pool during colder months if you do not have a pool heater. You can use your swimming pool all year round with a solar heater.
  • The system is quiet: Installing solar-powered pool heating will also eliminate loud noises that are typically associated with electric or gas pool heaters.

Frequently Asked Questions

How warm does a solar heated pool get?

There is a range of factors that make it hard to deliver an exact figure, but a standard 32 m² pool is likely to be warmed up by around 2.5 to 5.5 degrees, depending on the weather. Heat loss from your pool will impact this temperature, so a pool cover during winter when you are not using the pool is recommended as well.

Do solar pool heaters work on cloudy days?

Modern solar panels are still able to extract power from the sun on overcast days, so you will still get to enjoy solar heating – it just might not be as hot. When it is raining, your pool heating will not work, so your best bet is to have a solar battery installed so that you can enjoy warm swimming conditions, no matter the weather or time of day.

Can I also run my pool pump on solar power?

Yes. And the best news is that solar-powered pool pumps are just as effective and efficient as traditional models, you just enjoy cheaper energy bills too. They will circulate and filter water just the same as an electric model and keep your pool clean.
