Pool heating is one of the most cost effective uses of solar energy available in Saskatchewan.  The heating season for outdoor pools corresponds well with our long and sunny summer days, which provide above average energy from the sun's rays.  

Indoor pools are typically heated with similar collectors as are used for domestic hot water systems.  System sizing is very pool and location specific, contact us to discuss your configuration.  

Outdoor pools can be partially heated with a combined pool/domestic hot water system.  This makes the most effective use of the flat panel solar water heating system and allows the owner to size their system to provide near 100% of their domestic hot water needs year round, with the possibility of excess heat available for home space heating.  

Dedicated outdoor pool solar can be used stand alone, or in conjunction with a solar domestic water heating system.  In the dedicated solar pool system, pool water circulates through a set of joined rubber tubes which can be installed on a south facing roof, or a stand-alone mounting.
