A solar pool heater can easily double your swimming season or more. Solar heating works by collecting free energy from the sun and transferring it to your pool, solar pool heaters allow you to open your pool earlier, and keep your pool open long after your neighbors have closed theirs up for the season.
Solar pool heaters help to reduce your pool's carbon footprint. You'll get the satisfaction of knowing that you're heating your pool with the most cost-effective, cleanest, most environmentally friendly source of energy there is...the sun!
Solar Industries has been extending swimming seasons for more than 35 years and our solar pool heaters are backed by a limited lifetime warranty and years of in-the-field testing. They're so reliable, the only maintenance you'll need for solar pool heating is to do your usual pool maintenance or winterization.
A solar pool heater is clean, easy, cost effective, and gives your family and friends more swimming fun every year.
Why are we #1, you ask?
Superior Swimming Pool Solar Heater Systems
Our swimming pool solar heating systems are not only superior, but impossible to duplicate. And, our "pellets to pallets" manufacturing means we control the quality throughout the entire process, ensuring you get the best swimming pool solar collectors on the market, hands down.
Our base 10 year full warranty and limited lifetime 50% prorated is unparalleled. At Solar Industries, we stand by our product with pride, giving our customers the comfort of knowing that if they are among the 1/2% that ever have an issue, we'll take good care of them.
Plus, when it comes to being committed to the members of a community, as the leader in pool solar heating, we put our money where our mouth is. Each year we give back to the community in the form of donations to programs that range from abuse prevention to searching for a cure for children’s diseases. Buying a Solar Industries solar system for your pool means you’re giving to some fantastic causes.
We are the largest manufacturer of swimming pool solar collectors in North America, and you don’t get to be that big by producing poor quality. At Solar Industries we're committed to continual improvement of our solar pool heating products. This improvement comes from both consistently bettering our existing products, manufacturing process, and technology, and also from our constant search for newer and better ways to do swimming pool solar systems. Solar Industries is the “Original Innovator” in solar pool heating… and still the best!

Solar Industries Solar Pool Heating Systems meet or exceed the criteria for approvals from the following accredited independent laboratories and agencies:
You probably bought your pool for many reasons - family fun, entertaining friends, exercise, those quiet relaxing moments, or even therapeutic reasons. You spent a lot of time making the design to invest in a quality pool, furniture, fencing, and accompanying items that go along with a pool. You are, of course, expecting to get the most out of your pool. But, if your pool is frequently too cold to swim in comfortably, you are not realizing the full benefit of your significant investment. Solar pool heating can effectively.
Swimming Pool Solar Heater works by using the existing pump that circulates water through your filter, pool water is diverted so that it flows through the many small passages of the solar collector (or, "panel"). While passing through the solar collector, water is warmed by the sun, before returning directly back into the pool. When your pool has reached your desired comfort level, the solar collectors are bypassed and pool water is circulated as usual.
Yes - most solar pool heating systems are completely automatic and are as easy to operate as any fossil-fuel heater. Simply select your desired high-limit temperature and the solar system will do the rest. Pool water will automatically divert to the solar collectors if there is a) enough solar thermal energy at the location of the collectors and b) when the pool's desired temperature has not been reached. Solar pool heaters are compatible with the latest in pool automation technology.
Solar energy is just another fuel with which to heat your pool. A properly designed solar pool system can achieve the same results as other fuels. On days when you can relax comfortably in a bathing suit at poolside, but the water is too cold for swimming, solar energy can heat your pool to a comfortably temperature.
Unlike other solar pool heating systems that use tubes "welded" to each other or "loose tubes," Solar Industries Solar Pool Heating Collectors use a patented tube-and-curved-web design that relieves stress caused by expansion and contraction. Solar Industries solar collectors are engineered with a direct-flow manifold that delivers optimal flow without causing harmful back-pressure on your filtration system. Other collectors that use a sub-plenum create back pressure that reduces your filtration system performance and lifespan. Our proven solar pool heaters design has been in continuous operation for more than 35 years, making Solar Industries the number one choice in satisfied swimming pool owners around the world.
Not necessarily - though Solar Industries collectors are generally roof-mounted, they should be installed where they can be in the sun a good portion of the day. Depending on the angle of the mounting surface, east- and west-facing systems can function equally as well.
Your Solar Industries Solar Pool Heater will work alongside your existing fossil-fuel heater. A "hybrid solar pool heater" uses solar as the main source of heat and a gas heater or heat pump as a backup heater, if needed. With a hybrid solar pool heater, you can have the "best of both worlds" when it comes to keeping your pool at a comfortable temperature.
You have a considerable investment in owning and maintaining your swimming pool. The question should be - "what is it worth to me to have a warm comfortable pool that I can enjoy all the benefits of, more often?" A Solar Industries Solar Pool Heater will pay for itself in as little as two years. After that, you'll be collecting dividends in the form of free heat year after year by simply choosing to use a pool solar heater.
The use of solar collectors for swimming pool heating has always been the most widely used, cost-effective use of solar energy. Solar pool heating collectors are made from a special copolymer derived from fossil-fuels. As the cost of those fossil-fuels rise, so does the cost of manufacturing and installation of a solar pool heating system. The sooner you invest in a solar pool heating system, the more you will save and the quicker you can enjoy swimming in your own heated pool without the ever-increasing costs of a fossil-fuel heater.
Solar Industries customers have enjoyed continuous warranty protection for over 35 years, you can rest assured you have the strongest warranty in the solar pool heating business. SI Collectors are manufactured using the highest quality polypropylene with special antioxidants and UV inhibitors, and are guaranteed not to pit, corrode or form scale deposits. Solar Industries is the only solar pool heating collector to survive a 23-year life expectancy test in the grueling Arizona desert. With tens of thousands of solar pool heater installations worldwide since 1976, you can't find a better built, better backed solar pool heating collector.
Solar Industries warrants that all unglazed polymer swimming pool solar collectors manufactured by it:
Solar Industries Master Dealers are eligible to provide a variety of extended and supplemental warranty options – see your local Master Dealer for details.
Aquatherm is the only U.S. manufacturer of solar pool heating systems to meet the strict safety, durability, and toxicity standards required for NSF-50 certification, which is mandatory for commercial and recreational pool products in most of the United States.
