Solar Pool Heating

Add months to your swim season with our Solar Pool Heaters!

Owens manufacturing partner, Sealed Air Corporation, produces not only the best looking solar collectors but also the best engineered.

Our solar pool heating lets you take full advantage of the investment you've made in your swimming pool by adding months of enjoyment to your swimming season. Also, a solar heating system enhances the value of your home just as your swimming pool does. The sun's energy is free for the taking and available to you today.

If you follow our recommended solar heater sizes and have a proper exposure to the sun, your pool should be ten to fifteen degrees warmer than it was before it was heated under the same weather conditions. Most of your pool's heat loss is caused by evaporation of the water from the surface of the pool. Therefore, the larger the solar collector area is in relation to the surface area of the pool, the warmer the pool's water will be. If in the future you want an even warmer pool or you would like a longer swimming season, you can add collectors to your Sealed Air solar system.

How it Works

The solar system is designed to efficiently take full advantage of the sun's radiant energy to heat your swimming pool. The system is comprised of solar collectors and an automatic control unit that work together to create a reliable and carefree heating system. Operation is simple:
  1. Select and set the amount of heating desired
  2. (Optional) The automatic control unit senses the changes in both sunlight and water temperatures and diverts water to the collectors when solar energy is available and desired to maintain pool temperature. The system functions without the use of any additional electrical energy.
  3. Your existing pool pump now circulates water through the solar collectors.
  4. The solar collectors, heated by the sun, immediately warm the flowing water which is then returned to your pool.
