Is Your Pool Ready For Suntrek?

To help our customers, we’ve prepared the following site-evaluation information: Consider all the possible locations for mounting heater units.

A

You can use any sloped roof, flat roof or patio cover that does not face to the north. (The most effective facing is southwest, but the unique, large ribbing of the Suntrek collectors still allows plenty of heat generation when facing other directions.

B

You can put units on more than one roof area to gain the desired total size. (For example, on one roof that faces toward your backyard and one that faces to the side of the house. Just branch and plumb.)

C

A new structure can be built specifically to accommodate the solar heater as long as it is raised and near the pool (The new, shaded area can be an attractive landscape asset.)

Note:

The solar collectors must be positioned higher than the pool equipment, so that it can gravity-drain when it is not in use. For example, a shed roof on a downslope below the pool equipment would be a poor location.

Thought I’d send you a few photos of the completed system. No outside contractors were used in any part of the installation. The system was installed using family members only, mainly myself. Today is April 17th, 2006 and the pool water is already up to 88 degrees, never has the pool water been this warm this early in the year. My wife asked me why we didn’t do this years ago. Thanks for all your help and offering such a fine product.

Just wanted to drop you a line and let you know that the system is up and running and everybody loves it! I want to thank you for having a system thats easy to install and putting all the information on how to, on your website. My 14 year old grandson and I did the installation in about 10 hours. I would recommend the Suntrek system to anyone!

Exactly one year ago I contacted your company to inquire about purchasing a solar heating system for our pool. Being first time pool owners, I researched several options. Your company’s CEO personally answered my questions and I proceeded with ordering a solar hearing system from Suntrek. Installation was fast and easy. The system worked beautifully last swimming season. I put off writing as I wanted to see how the system would weather a harsh, northeastern Pennsylvania winter. I am happy to report that we opened our pool on Thursday May 24th and on Saturday evening, May 26th we were enjoying a warm pool on a cool Spring evening. The water tempeture reached 88 degrees in just two days and we have been swimming everyday since. Our neighbors have opened their pools but are not enjoying them yet as the water temperatures are to cold. One neighbor used their pool Memorial Day but had their propane heater operating. The highest temperature they were able to obtain so early in the season was 81 degrees. Needless to day the children, in spite of the sunshine were not swimming very long. Also our pool was the last to close last season. We enjoyed swimming until mid-October!!!!! Most of all, thank you for making a reliable product.

What Our Clients Are Saying

My first install with Suntrek was 15 years ago and we never had a problem with the system. This past summer, we had them install their system at our new home. Amanda has communicated well and we have not had any problems (so far). Today, we had our winterize service done and the crew that came out was very friendly, very helpful and very professional. I have no complaints toward Suntrek (and I like to complain!).

Suntrek is an excellent company with amazing, professional, and kind employees. We had our solar panels installed 20 years ago and they are still cranking out the power. We recently had a new solar heater for our pool installed and we could not be more pleased. I highly recommend this company. Their service and products are excellent, and their employees are even better!!

We have used Suntrek solar for both our homes in southern CA and have had a great experience both times. Pricing was very competitive; in fact their quote was lower than any of the others we got and the quality of the panels superior. They completed the project within with estimated time quoted. The cost was exactly as predicted in the quote and they have been great about monitoring the system and making sure it’s preforming properly. I highly recommend them. We used them for both home solar as well as pool solar and have been very happy with them.

I had a great experience working with Suntrek. From the start, I spoke with about 4 different Solar companies, and I have to say Ethan was the most transparent and explained the processes around solar better than anyone else I spoke with. Although from start to finish took a little longer than expected, not because of any fault of Suntrek. They did get my electric solar installed by the end of the year so that I could include it on my 2021 tax returns, and then got the pool solar quickly done in early January.
F.S.
I have used Suntrek Solar for years, we are an Architectural firm-Studio 6 Architects, and enjoy working with Ethan. I recently have installed a solar system on my house, and the experience was great, they are very professional, and meet all the costs and deadlines, this is why we will continue to make Suntrek’s the company we will always recommend to our client.

Had a fantastic experience with Ethan and his team. They installed it on time and left my yard clean after they were finished. We had a wonderful summer in our pool after getting the solar heater system installed. Been here three years and the previous owners didn’t put a heater in when they put the pool in… we spent maybe 1 hour over the last 3 years in the pool. This summer was amazing, my son had a blast and the system worked great! We were in it almost daily and it was great! Thank you everyone!
J.H.
From start to finish, Suntrek Solar took great care of my project. They were very patient with all our questions. Made accommodations for the intricacies of our needs. Did a great job with installation and training for the system.
M.V.
I am delighted with my Suntrek Solar system. It has extended my pool use by several months. The company was a delight to deal with – very thorough and professional. I should have done it years ago.
M.B.
I have been using Suntrek for the past 7-8 years. Always prompt, courteous and knowledgeable. Highly recommend their services.
T.D.
I’m very pleased with Suntrek. They are very professional and their product worked as expected. I highly recommended Suntrek.
