Choose HI-Deluxe for any pool where the solar collectors will be located on a sloping roof or on a sloping rack.

HI-Deluxe is the world’s finest solar collector for heating swimming pools.  The durable tub-on-fin configuration has been proven for decades to capture the most solar energy. HI-Deluxe solar collectors are designed to deliver maximum solar energy to your pool.

HI-Deluxe solar collectors are made from a proven polypropylene formula that has demonstrated highest reliability for over thirty years. Your HI-Deluxe solar collector is backed by a lifetime limited warranty.  Click here to view the HI-Deluxe Installation Manual.

You can select a HI-Deluxe solar heating system in two ways.  HI-Deluxe Solar Heater System Kits are packaged solar heating systems you can select from a table listing various pool sizes. If you prefer, you can design your own Custom Solar Heating System by selecting the size and number of HI-Deluxe solar collectors and the installation component kits.

HI-Deluxe Solar System Kit Selection Tables

How to use these tables.

From the “Pool Size” column select the closest pool size. In that row find the solar collector area from either the “Uncovered Pool” column or the “Covered Pool” column. “Covered” means use of a floating transparent plastic cover on the pool every night and in rainy or cold weather. That will show you the minimum size system that will heat the pool under ideal conditions. Ideal conditions means in the sun all day and facing south at an angle from the ground. For less than ideal conditions refer to the “Swimming Pool Solar Heating System Selection Guide” to find the adjusted square footage.

Each HI-Deluxe Solar System Kit is a complete swimming pool heating system packaged for UPS shipment. It includes the number and size solar collectors shown, all connecting and mounting parts, stainless steel mounting screws, check valve, control system and vacuum relief valve where needed. Manual control systems have a three-port control valve. Automatic systems have a fully automatic electronic control, with control panel, sensors and motor-driven three-port valve. You supply only roof sealer, if needed and the PVC pipe and fittings connecting the solar system to the pool filter system.

When you want a longer season and to eliminate the solar cover, the most convenient solution is to select a HI-Deluxe Solar System Kit that matches your pool size.

HI-Deluxe Solar System Kits are complete solar swimming pool heating systems. They include 4 x 12-foot solar collectors, mounting and connection parts, check valve and control. They are available with either manual or automatic controls. Manual control systems have a three-port control valve. Automatic systems have a fully automatic electronic control, complete with control panel, sensors and motor driven valve.

At any time that you may decide you want a still longer season or a warmer pool you can easily add solar collectors.

HI-Deluxe Custom Solar Heating Systems

Your HI-Deluxe dealer will design a solar heating system to fit your pool. If you wish, you can design your own.

We make HI-Deluxe Solar Collector Panels in three sizes. They are 4 x 8, 4 x 10 and 4 x 12-feet. You choose the size that best fits your roof or ground space. You will save money by using the largest panel that will fit. We supply the mounting and connecting components in convenient kits.
