Whether for relaxation or recreation, a comfortable pool is a great gathering place for family and friends. A Vasco Solar pool heating system can effectively double the length of your pool seasons, make your pool more warm & comfortable, and drastically reduce or eliminate pool-heating costs.

Vasco Solar Energy has installed thousands of systems over the last thirty years and has worked with almost every type of solar heating system. We choose to install Solar Industries SI-1500 Pool Heating Collectors, due to their superior performance and Limited Lifetime Warranty! These collectors can be used for any pool or spa where the solar collectors will be located on a roof or on a pitched rack on the ground.

Solar Industries - Solar Pool Heating SystemsSolar Industries is the only collector to survive a grueling 23-year life expectancy test in the Arizona desert. And with tens of thousands of installations worldwide since 1976, you cannot find a better built, better backed solar collector.

Solar Industries is the largest manufacturer of solar collectors in the USA. Every collector is constructed under strict quality control at the most modern facility of its kind in the world. These collectors withstand extreme exposure to the sun, weather, heat, pollution and oxidation, due to formulated polymer compounds. Unaffected by pool chemicals, they can not rust, corrode or discolor your pool.

FIRST with "tube and web" heat trap design for reliable all-day performance...even on windy days. - FIRST with All Stainless Steel mounting hardware for "Rock Solid" installation in high wind areas. - FIRST with Multi-Plate Construction for release of thermal stresses throughout the solar collector. - FIRST Polypropylene Collector to achieve 1,000 BTU rating per square foot of collector area in certified third party testing. - FIRST All Polypropylene Collector to use the exclusive "Sun Gard" UV stabilization formula...Performance proven in climates around the world. - FIRST with Thermal Weld Construction for a seamless weld between the collector's body and header. - FIRST with A Lifetime Warranty-Backed by over twenty years of production experience.

Note: Standard collectors are 4’ wide and 10’ or 12’ long, but smaller sizes are also available. The size and amount of collectors needed will depend on the size of the pool.

How Does It Work?

A picture of a pool in a yard with solar panels showing schematics.With a Vasco Solar installation you have a choice of two control systems. A manual control, where you turn the system on or off by turning the handle on a three-port control valve, or a fully automatic electronic control system. With the automatic system you simply set the desired temperature on your control panel and the system does the rest. We install the Heliotrope General Controller, which is backed by a ten-year manufacturer warranty.

When the solar sensor finds that there is enough solar energy to heat your pool and your pool is colder than you desire, water is automatically sent to your solar collectors by the valve. Bright sunshine is not needed to heat your pool. The solar sensor will turn on your solar system, even on a hazy or cloudy day.

Your pool pump sends pool water to the solar collectors. As the water flows through the many tubes in each solar collector, the sun’s energy heats it. The solar-heated water then flows back to your pool. This simple cycle continues until your pool reaches the desired temperature.
