Pool heating is what turns a pool that is comfortable for a few months into one a Scarborough family can use for most of the year. There are three main systems, and the best fit depends on your pool size, your budget and how you want to swim. Solar heating circulates pool water through black collectors, usually on the roof, where the Illawarra sun warms it before it returns to the pool; it is cheap to run and ideal for sunny Wollongong blocks, but its output follows the weather and the season. Heat pumps draw warmth from the surrounding air and transfer it into the water, delivering reliable, controllable heat on demand at a moderate running cost, and they work well into the cooler months. Gas heating warms a pool fastest of all and is unaffected by sun or air temperature, which suits people who want the pool hot on short notice, though running costs are the highest of the three. We size the Pool Heating & Solar to the pool's volume and surface area, since an undersized unit struggles and an oversized one wastes money. A pool cover is the most cost-effective companion to any heating, cutting evaporation, the single biggest source of heat loss, and dramatically reducing how hard the system has to work. For many Scarborough homes a combination, such as solar with a cover, gives the best balance of comfort and economy. We assess your roof, equipment space and usage, then recommend and install the Pool Heating & Solar that gets the most swimming days out of your Wollongong pool for the lowest sensible cost.
