Solar Pool Heating
Melbourne

Extend your swimming season by 4 to 6 months with proven strip solar heating — sized and positioned for your roof and pool.

Solar pool heating is a cost-effective way to extend your swimming season in Melbourne. A properly designed system can provide around 4 to 6 months of comfortable swimming, with minimal running costs. Weston Pool Co supplies and installs Sunlover EnergyFlow 10, a proven strip solar heating product, sized and positioned for your roof orientation and pool volume.

Low Running Costs

Once installed, solar heating has virtually no ongoing energy costs. The only power required is a small amount to run the circulation pump — often the same pump already running your pool filtration.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does solar pool heating work?

Pool water is pumped from the pool through solar collectors mounted on your roof. The sun heats the water as it passes through the collectors, and the warm water is returned to the pool. A controller monitors temperatures and automatically circulates water when the collectors are warmer than the pool.

How much roof space do I need for solar pool heating?

As a general guide, solar collectors should cover an area roughly equal to 50–80% of your pool's surface area. For a standard 8×4m pool, you'd typically need around 16–24 square metres of suitable north-facing roof space.

Will solar pool heating work in Melbourne's climate?

Yes. A properly designed EnergyFlow 10 system typically provides around 4 to 6 months of comfortable swimming in Melbourne, and with a backup heater, can support swimming year-round.

Can I combine solar heating with a heat pump?

Yes — this is our most popular combination. Solar handles the bulk of heating during spring, summer and autumn, while the heat pump tops up the pool during cooler periods and overcast stretches.
