Swimming Pool Solar Heaters, Blankets, Pumps And More


There are many items such as pool solar heaters, pumps, lights and more that can make your pool more enjoyable, easier to maintain and more environmentally friendly. Understanding how these devices work to save money and electricity is important in making the best choices.

Solar Pool Covers

Evaporation from your pool's surface is a major factor both in terms of heat and water loss, meaning that a pool cover makes good financial sense.

There are other lower cost solutions to heat loss from your pool. One of these is solar pool rings which is simply a cut down version of the solar pool blanket. These rings have a low up front cost but are not the best long term heat conservation solution.

An even cheaper option is to add a solar pool fish though the effectiveness of these is quite limited.

Decorative Pool Items

Solar power can be harnessed to make your pool more appealing. Solar pool lights are an inexpensive way to add colour and style to your garden in the dark hours with no upkeep required.

Another decorative item to consider is the solar pool fountain which will liven up your pool but not your electricity bill.
