Lower Your Pool Heating Costs with a Hybrid Solar and Heat Pump Solution

Struggling with Rising Energy Bills? There’s a Smarter Way to Heat Your Pool.

If you’re already using a heat pump to warm your pool, you know the comfort it brings – but you also know the pain of rising energy costs.
At Magen eco-Energy, we offer a smarter, more sustainable solution: a hybrid pool heating system combining your existing heat pump with Heliocol Solar pool heating.

The result?
Lower energy bills, longer equipment life, and minimal maintenance — all while enjoying your perfect swim season.

What Is a Hybrid Pool Heating System?

A hybrid system uses solar pool heating and your existing heat pump together, allowing each technology to do what it does best — while cutting down energy use and costs.
When the sun is shining, your solar system does the heavy lifting, providing free heating.
On cooler days or during unpredictable weather, your heat pump steps in to top up the temperature when needed.

You get consistent warmth with maximum efficiency.

How Solar Heating and Heat Pumps Work Together

Primary Heating: Solar First
Solar panels warm your pool using the sun’s free energy during the day, covering most of your heating needs at no cost.

Supportive Heating: Heat Pump Backup
Your heat pump only operates when necessary — typically during colder days, early mornings, or cloudy spells — greatly reducing its running time.

This smart cooperation between systems gives you the best of both worlds: free solar heating most of the time, reliable heat pump support when needed.

Key Benefits of a Hybrid Pool Heating System

1. Significant Reduction in Energy Costs

  • Solar pool heating harnesses free energy from the sun.
  • Your heat pump runs far less often, saving you hundreds (or even thousands) of dollars per year.
  • Lower power consumption means lower utility bills month after month.

2. Extend the Life of Your Heat Pump

  • Because your heat pump is used only when absolutely needed, its wear and tear is dramatically reduced.
  • Less usage leads to longer lifespan, delaying expensive replacements and repairs.

3. Minimal Maintenance Requirements

  • Solar pool heating systems have no moving parts and require no maintenance.
  • Heat pumps need fewer service calls since they’re working less hard and for fewer hours.

The result: more savings, fewer headaches, and more time enjoying your pool.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I add solar pool heating to my existing heat pump?

Absolutely. Our hybrid system is designed to integrate seamlessly with your existing heat pump, giving you the benefits of both technologies without replacing your current setup.

2. How much can I really save with a hybrid pool heating system?

Many pool owners see savings of up to 50–70% on their pool heating energy costs. The solar system handles most of the heating, meaning your heat pump runs much less and uses far less electricity.

3. Will the solar panels work in cooler or cloudy weather?

Yes, but at reduced efficiency. Solar heating works best on sunny days, but even in cooler weather, the panels capture enough heat to significantly warm your pool and reduce how often the heat pump needs to operate.

4. How much maintenance is required for a hybrid system?

Very little. Solar pool heating systems have no moving parts and require almost no maintenance. Heat pumps will also need less frequent servicing because they are used less often in a hybrid setup.

5. How long does it take to install a hybrid pool heating system?

Installation is usually quick and easy. In most cases, adding a solar system alongside your existing heat pump can be completed within a couple of days, depending on your pool and property layout.
