1. Using your existing pool pump, pool water is directed through a series of valves to your solar collectors.
2. Pool water enters the solar collectors at the bottom and rises to the top through the individual tubes of the collector.
3. As the water rises through the collector, it is heated by the sun’s radiant energy.
4. The water is then returned to the pool to repeat the cycle until your pool has been heated by the sun.

The SwimJoy system uses the sun’s energy to heat your pool. The sun’s heat is transferred into your pool by circulating pool water through the patented SwimJoy solar panel. In most cases, the pool’s existing pump is used to circulate the pool water through the SwimJoy panels. The water is continually circulated through the solar panels until the pool has attained the desired temperature.

Owning a SwimJoy system means drastically reducing or even eliminating expensive pool heating utility bills. Year after year, the savings continue while you extend your swimming season. SwimJoy solar pool heating is the most economical way to heat your pool. Zero operating costs, virtually no maintenance and the longest and most comprehensive warranty ensures the savings will continue for years to come.

SwimJoy solar heating systems are designed to heat your swimming pool using free heat from the sun. The SwimJoy system should be in operation during the daytime when solar radiation can be absorbed. A SwimJoy system equipped with an automatic controller turns on and off effortlessly whenever there is sufficient solar energy.
In some regions, the use of a SwimJoy solar heating system can lengthen your swim season to 12 months, while in other regions, SwimJoy can drastically extend your swim season. Regardless of geographic region, you will enjoy months of additional fun in the pool without the added expenses associated with other fossil fuel heaters.

A properly installed SwimJoy solar heating system should require very little, or no, maintenance. Check your SwimJoy solar heating system for proper operation at the beginning of each swimming season, particularly if it has an automatic controller.

As long as it is daytime, the SwimJoy system absorbs solar radiation. Any solar radiation absorbed by the SwimJoy system is then transferred into the pool water. Therefore, even in cloudy conditions, the SwimJoy system will heat your pool. It is important to note that increasing the number of solar panels in your system will help absorb more heat. As with any heater, using a pool blanket is advisable, as it will reduce heat loss.

Yes, the SwimJoy system works by circulating water through the solar panels using your existing pool pump. Therefore, your pump must be in operation for sufficient water to flow through the solar panels.

The SwimJoy system is guaranteed not to discolor your pool due to deterioration of the solar panel material. SwimJoy panels are made of polypropylene with special ultraviolet inhibitor additives. Other manufacturers use cheaper grade plastics like EPDM or pure polypropylene, which are known to corrode and discolor pool water.

Some of our SwimJoy customers choose to use their solar heating system in conjunction with an existing pool heater. The SwimJoy solar heating system is designed to serve as the primary heat source for your pool water, while your existing pool heater serves as an auxiliary, or backup, heater. By using a SwimJoy solar heating system as your primary heat source, you can lengthen the life of your existing pool heater while minimizing the utility bills associated with heating your pool.

An automatic controller allows you to set your desired pool temperature. When the desired temperature is reached, your SwimJoy system will automatically turn off to maintain the desired temperature.
In some climates, the swimming pool can naturally reach uncomfortable temperatures during peak summer months. The SwimJoy system can dissipate excess heat in the pool water by circulating the water through the collectors at night.

SwimJoy solar collectors can be mounted on roofs or any area near the pool that provides the proper exposure, orientation and tilt toward the sun. Ideally, SwimJoy solar collectors should face south. However, an alternate orientation will not significantly decrease performance as long as shading is avoided. SwimJoy systems can also be installed on the ground or on racks.

SwimJoy’s individual tube design eliminates competitors’ cumbersome and unattractive straps, which can damage roof surfaces. Instead, SwimJoy’s solar collectors are affixed with mounting pads, which minimizes or eliminates roof penetrations.

The area needed for SwimJoy solar collectors to heat your pool depends on many factors. Depending on the pool’s geographic location, roof orientation, pool configuration and your heating requirements, the surface area of a SwimJoy solar heating system can range from 50% to 120% of the pool’s surface area.
