Solar pool heaters can drastically reduce your pool heating utility bill. A gas or electricity pool heater can cost thousands of dollars to run each year, but a solar pool heater runs for free, using the energy from the sun to heat the water.

A solar pool heating sysem will not only dramatically reduce costs, but also double your swimming season in the tri-state region. You can keep the water at your ideal temperature - up to 15 degrees warmer than normal. You can add real value to your pool and home while leading an environmentally sustainable lifestyle.

A) Using your existing pool pump, pool water is directed through a series of valves to your solar collectors.

B) Pool water enters the solar collectors (either roof or ground mounted) at the bottom and rises to the top through the individual tubes of the collector.

C) As the water rises through the collector it is heated by the sun's radiant energy.

D) The swimming pool water is then returned to your pool to repeat the cycle until your pool is warm.
