Solar vs. Traditional Pool Heating

As the cost of electricity and gas continues to rise, the price for solar energy will not change. Using your existing pump and filter, the Enersol "do-it-yourself" solar pool heater ensures warmer pool temperatures, no monthly heating bills and is proven to be the most cost effective way to heat your pool.

Solar Heating systems are very easy for the homeowner to maintain as the only ongoing expense is your time.

These cost are based on a natural gas price of $9.13 per gigajoule (~$0.35 m3) and an electricity price of $0.08 per kilowatt-hour.
