School Pool Solar Heating

Pool Solar Heating Specialist take great care in ensuring kiwi kids get to enjoy their schools pool for an extended swim season.
We have been given the pleasure of working on the likes of schools such as: Bucklands Beach Primary, Cornwall Park School, Titirangi Primary School, Glamorgan School.
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 commercial 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.
