School pool solar heating

No pool is too big to be solar heated.

Feed back from Don at Manurewa central primary school:

Solar heating ongoing costs are very low compared to other pool heating solutions. See some performance comparisons and costings below:

In fact a pool that is a large body of water needs to be heated with Solar heating or a combination of solar(thermal) and heat pump.

Schools can expect to take advantage of solar heating as the swimming season can start as early as September and end April or May(weather depending).

Solar collector ratio also plays a major role in the the performance of a solar heating system. 80% is common, but we now recommend 150% surface area up to 200% surface area for maximum outcome.

You can expect to see us on a regular service cycle to make sure the solar is in top working order, your pump and controller are working perfectly.

Our layout promotes full water promotion and where we can we are able to avoid roof penetrations where possible. Some roof areas we must rivet manifolds where available. We service on a regular basis, should any fixings come free.

Here is a gallery of recent installs in 2019:

Cosgrove school, Papakura - Solar replacement with no roof penetrations

Silicon brackets only
50mm pipe work on a 10 degree roof fall
Solar collector and pipe work fully elevated for full water promotion below on roofing
Solar collector running across the high part of the roofing peaks. Solar must never run in the gullies, as this will cause build up and will cause the roof to rust
