By investing in innovative products to heat your swimming pool instead, energy consumption and environmental impacts can be reduced while enjoying your aquatic retreat more thoroughly.
In this video, we look at some of the top products on the market to help heat your pool sustainably and reduce environmental footprint. From solar panels to various heating solutions, we give you all of the information you need to make the best choices for your pool while lowering its environmental impact.
When people think of Sydney, one image that comes to mind immediately is the vibrant Bondi Icebergs Pool in Bondi Beach at South Bondi. Here, swimmers dive into two saltwater pools connected with each other that merge into the surf – it is truly beautiful to witness.

While nine in ten Australians reside within 20 minutes’ driving of a public swimming facility, access isn’t evenly distributed. Inner-city councils such as Parramatta boast nearly 14,000 residents per aquatic centre while suburban areas like Mosman and Randwick boast only just over 7,000. Furthermore, outdoor pools may only open seasonally further limiting accessibility.
