Commercial Pool Heating

Commercial swim centres, including the AIS, are turning to solar as their primary source of heating.
The suns energy is free forever while gas and electricity prices continue to rise!
Strip solar collector is the most popular option.
It can generate up to 0.5Kwh of energy per sqm when the sun is shining.
Sunbather’s commercial grade strip collector comes with an industry leading warranty of 15 years and has a life expectancy of over 20 years.

Suntube-2 Rigid Panels are a popular choice for commercial centres needing durability.
Performance of the Suntube-2 rigid panel is almost identical to the Sunbather Strip and also comes with a 15 year warranty.
A solar system on a commercial swimming centre should be the primary source of heating.
To minimise running costs heat pumps and gas heaters should only be used as a back-up.

Sunbather’s 200 Series stainless steel roller has been ultra-reliable over decades of hard usage.
Strong high quality electro-polished stainless steel construction, heavy duty wheels, and options for starter block extensions give the 200 roller flexibility to suit any pool.
The 200 is designed to be mobile for easy and convenient storage.

When staff requires the easiest & quickest option, a remote control roller system is the only solution.
Simply push the remote and guide the covers on and off the pool with minimal effort.
The pre-set limit switches ensure the roller stops in precisely the correct location every time.

Sunbather Underseat Rollers can be located on the ground or hung off the wall.
The perfect choice when space is limited.
Sunbather designs, manufactures, and installs the roller and cover AND the seat for a full turnkey solution.
Underseat rollers offer dual purpose usage at a budget friendly price.

Speed and OH&S are now key operating factors. Aqua Valet provides fast and safe pool cover operation, so most large pools now use it.
Simply plug it into the side of the roller, push the button, and let the Aqua Valet do the work for you.
Very manoeuvrable and quick to recharge, the Aqua Valet makes pool cover operation a one person job.

Most large commercial centres will require a back-up heater for the solar system to ensure year round consistent temperatures.
In warmer climates Heat Pumps are a popular and reliable secondary heat source to solar.
They help sustain temperatures while solar keeps running costs to a minimum.
