We recommend annual servicing for your solar pool heating system because it is always better to detect any problems before they get pricey to repair.
Why Is A Thermotube Solar Pool Heating System Superior?
Thermotube panels are not affixed to the roof. No dust or moisture is accrued, and no harmful surrounding is formed as the individual tubes are held jointly with our unique interlocking system. Thermotube technology renders a factory-welded joint between the PVC manifolds and PVC absorber. It is ditto like welding, but it is fabricated with chemicals, adhesives and heat, attaining a seamless panel that will turn into a solar pool heater.
Our unique solar pool heating panels have 80 tubes in every square metre, about 33% more than most other systems (based on a 60 tube/sq m system). These pool heating tubes have an 8mm external diameter, recommended by the CSIRO as the most efficient size for Australian conditions. Thermotube collector panels are designed in a way that lets the sun heat the absorber from the surface and the underside through the reflection. It all adds up to a greater efficiency rate of around 45% than other solar pool heaters.

Solar Power Systems
There are three main types of Solar Heating Systems. It is not prudent to try and combine these systems. For the best performance, only choose one.
- Polyvoltiac (PV) panels produce electricity.
- Hot water service for the house using copper piping.
- Swimming pool heating with plastic tubes.
Pool Heating Systems
There are two types of Pool Heating Systems
- Strips that are 15 cm in width and run horizontally across the roof.
- Panels that are 100 cm or larger in width and run vertically down the roof.
- The strip systems are held down with silicone, and they are susceptible to weather and can be lifted by strong winds. The strip systems are regarded as the old generation, and these pool heating systems are phased out gradually.
Solar Panel Systems
There are two main types of Solar Panel Systems
- Plastic tubing inside an aluminium box and sits on the roof.
- Plastic tubing fitted directly onto the roof and manufactured to a specific diameter and design.
- The aluminium box system is very efficient and will require less roof space but is considerably more expensive and can cost double than alternative systems.
- With sufficient roof space, plastic tubing directly on the roof is your best value for money option.

What Are Thermotube Panels Made Of?
Thermotube panels are made of PVC (Poly Vinyl Chloride). This type of material is used for pool plumbing and pressure pipes in your pool. Their variations are used in house cladding and similar applications where durability and the ability to withstand the harsh Australian environment is the priority. Thermotube began manufacturing panels in 1980, integrating German engineering for swimming pool heating. The Thermo Pools factory, based in Sydney, transforms raw plastic into solar pool heating systems.
A Thermotube solar pool heater has proven to be impervious to any chemicals used in water treatment. The panel’s material was developed to heat the swimming pool water using the latest technologies available in UV stabilisation. The drawbacks of a conventional strip system have become apparent; they are no longer considered at this level of engineering.
Starting Price for Thermotube
A small sized swimming pool (20 000L – 30 000L) would require approximately 15-17 sqm of Thermotube at a cost of around $3 200. This includes supply and installation of our product as well as 15 year warranty.

Our design eliminates the need for crude methods, such as fixing loose strips to roofs. Consequently, the roof is not permanently marked, and the absorber tubes are not interfered with, so they can still expand and contract freely. The securing is reversible if servicing of the roof is needed. If you accept a cheap strip system, you have to be prepared to make massive concessions. Read the guarantee fine print for details.
A solar pool heating system harnesses the sun’s energy and transmits it to keep your swimming pool water warm all year round. It’s a great way to save money on electricity bills and extend the usage of your pool, but how does it all work?
In simple terms, water is pumped from your spa, Jacuzzi or swimming pool and is pushed through a multi-tube collector. It is usually installed somewhere discreet such as your house roof. The multi-tube collector warms the water quickly and efficiently and directs the warm water back into your pool or spa.
The multi-tube or ‘Thermotube’ technology provides an efficient, discreet solar heating system on the roof of your home. There are many different solar heating roofing systems, so look for one that gives you the most bang for your buck and surface coverage.
Even on cloudy days, the solar panels can collect the sun’s energy and convert it into power to heat your pool. The bigger the surface area, the more solar energy can be harnessed to power your solar pool heater.
Solar pool heaters are safe and hard-wearing; with superior quality parts and systems, they can last approximately 15-25 years! It is recommended to look for a solar pool heating specialist who manufactures and makes parts here in Australia. When it comes to repairs, servicing and availability of parts, it’s far better to deal with Australian made rather than cheaper imports, which don’t have the durability or the availability.
