Solar heating uses panels, often roof mounted, to warm water as it circulates through your filtration system. It has the lowest running cost of the three main options, though it depends on sun exposure and works best paired with a pool cover to hold the heat gained each day.
A heat pump draws warmth from the surrounding air and transfers it into your pool water, running on electricity far more efficiently than a standard electric element heater. It heats reliably regardless of direct sun exposure, making it a strong middle ground option for many Canberra backyards.
Gas heaters bring water up to temperature the fastest of the three options and are not weather dependent, which suits pools used on short notice rather than year round. Running costs are generally higher than solar or a heat pump, so it often suits occasional use rather than constant heating.
An undersized heater will run constantly and struggle to hold temperature, while an oversized system wastes money on capacity you do not need. We size every system to your pool's actual volume, your target temperature and how often you plan to use it.
No delays and no surprises. A straightforward pool build with one crew and one point of contact.

Cost varies significantly by heater type and the size of your pool. Solar systems typically have a higher upfront cost with the lowest running cost, heat pumps sit in the middle on both counts, and gas heaters are often cheaper to install but more expensive to run. We provide a specific comparison once we know your pool size and usage.
Water is pumped through solar collectors, usually mounted on your roof, where it is warmed by the sun before returning to the pool. It works alongside your existing filtration pump rather than needing a separate heating unit.
Heater size depends on your pool’s water volume, your target temperature, and how quickly you want it to heat. We calculate this specifically for your pool rather than applying a generic rule of thumb.
A heat pump is generally cheaper to run than gas over a full season, since it moves existing heat rather than generating it directly, though gas heats water faster for occasional or short notice use. The right choice depends on how often and how predictably you use your pool.
A heat pump extracts warmth from the surrounding air and transfers it into your pool water using a refrigeration cycle, similar in principle to a reverse cycle air conditioner. This makes it considerably more efficient than a standard electric resistance heater.
