Pool Heating
Pool Heating
A swimming pool is a major financial investment. To get the most for your money, you should use your pool as much as possible. That’s why it makes sense to keep your pool at a comfortable swimmable temperature for the maximum number of hours in each day and the maximum number of days in each year.
The ideal temperature for leisure swimming is around 25 to 26 degrees Celsius. This temperature is very rarely achieved naturally – for most of the swimming season, the water temperature hovers around 18 to 20 degrees. Most of the warmth gained during the day is lost overnight, leaving the pool cold again in the morning.
There are three basic types of pool heating systems: solar, gas and heat pumps. Which is best for your pool? There are many factors to consider, including your requirements, budget, location, tariffs, operation and physical layout of your premises. Each system can be installed at the time of construction or added later and they are compatible with most types of recirculation systems.

Why choose solar?
Solar heating is popular because the energy to heat the water is free. The principles involved in solar pool heating are very simply illustrated. Imagine a garden hose that has been lying in the sun for several hours; when you turn on the tap, out comes hot water. That’s solar heating: the sun’s energy has been absorbed by the hose and transmitted as heat to the water inside it. The hose acts as a solar collector.
Zane – The innovator and the originator
In 1974, Zane invented and later patented the concept of a solar strip absorber system. It has now become the accepted method of solar heating for pools world wide. Zane’s award winning products and designs are undisputed market leaders in their field.
Zane’s systems are only available from authorised Zane dealers. This way, Zane can ensure that every system sold is correctly designed and installed. Zane dealers undertake intensive training to ensure they adhere to Zane’s design and professional installation practices. A nationwide network of dealerships ensures service is always available.
Every Zane solar system is individually inspected and a comprehensive ‘Commissioning Report’ check list is completed. The systems conform in every way with the Australian Standards and are covered by a comprehensive warranty.
At Swimart we work closely with authorised Zane dealers to buy you solar heating at its best.

Customer Testimonials
“We’ve had a Zane solar pool heating system for quite a few years and it’s the best thing we’ve done. Not only have we extended our swimming period, but we have not had any trouble with it and are very pleased to recommend it to anyone contemplating a solar system. Zane won’t always necessarily be the cheapest on the market, but in our opinion, it is by far the best. And at the end of the day, you always get what you pay for, so don’t risk it. Get the best.”
Phillip and Lorraine Howe, Donvale, Victoria.
“We have had our Zane Solar System for over 8 years now, and continue to enjoy our warm pool. We really see the difference when neighbours stop swimming and, we carry on swimming for several months. it is also quiet and unobtrusive and has been virtually maintenance free.”

How a gas heater works
Gas Heaters use natural or propane fuel. The gas is burned in a combustion chamber where the heat is transferred to the pool water. In a typical gas heater, water flows through one port, picks up heat from the heat exchanger in the heater, and exits another port on the way back to the pool. Gas heaters can either be connected to natural gas or require a storage tank for propane gas.

Heat Pumps
The latest advancement in swimming pool heating, Electroheat Heat Pumps are an energy efficient way to heat your swimming pool or spa. Electroheat produces up to 5 times* more heat energy than the electrical energy it consumes.
A heat pump is built to heat your pool economically 24 hours a day, maintaining your desired pool water temperature.
How a Heat Pump works
Electroheat extracts heat energy from the surrounding air and transfers the heat energy to the water of the swimming pool. It works like a reversed air conditioner, using an evaporator, a compressor, and condenser to heat water instead of cooling air.
