Benefits of Solar Heating for Schools:
  • Sustainability and Environmental Impact
  • Cost-Effectiveness
  • Solar is a long-term investment
  • Solar is low maintenance
Please note we also sell heat pumps, but we advise the first option should always be solar as the primary heating source. A heat pump can also be used in conjunction with the solar to offer small bursts of heat. Solar alone will offer you amazing pool temperatures.

If you are interested in solar heating and/or a hybrid for your pool please, send questions to justin@poolsolarheating.co.nz
