Pool Heating

Solar energy uses the sun’s rays to produce heat or electricity. FAFCO has honed this technology to harness our sun’s natural energy in a cost-effective way to warm the water in your pool.

Solar energy:

• Heats your pool to a warm, comfortable temperature.
• Is environment-friendly energy – free from the sun.
• Doubles your swim season with luxuriously warm water.
• Dramatically reduces or eliminates pool heating costs.
• Adds value to your pool and to your home.

Superiority of Solar Energy for Solar Pool Heating

Solar pool heating is the most economically attractive option for pool heating and for extending your swim season. Solar energy is more economical over the life of the system than a pool heater that uses electricity, fuel oil or propane gas. Compared to other pool heating technologies, a solar pool heating system pays for itself within 2 to 4 years.

In comparison with other pool heating technologies, solar energy:

• Provides the lowest annual operational costs (energy is provided free from the sun)
• Provides the lowest maintenance costs (minimal if any)
• Is the cleanest, safest and quietest source of energy
• Has the longest lifespan (no moving parts, no corrosion) – almost always outlasting their warranties.

How does it work?

Heating your pool with solar energy is really quite simple. Cold water is pumped from your pool through our patented solar panel design where it is warmed by heat collected from the sun. The warm water is then pumped back into your pool giving you luxuriously warm water and plenty of extended swim time.

Set your desired water temperature. Sensor determines most efficient time to run. Your pool pump sends cold water from the pool through solar collectors. Solar collectors heat the water. Warm, solar-heated water flows back to your pool.

Your filter pump sends cold pool water through the solar panel. The solar panel transfer’s the sun’s heat to water inside the solar tubes. Warm, solar-heated water flows back to your pool.
