Three Systems. One Perfect Pool Temperature.
The most efficient way to heat your pool isn’t just one product—it’s a system. By combining solar, heat pumps, and a heat
retention cover, you maximize performance while minimizing energy costs.
Solar Pool Panels - Generate Free Heat
Capture energy from the sun to heat your pool during the day at the lowest possible cost. Solar provides the foundation for efficient pool heating.
Heat Pump - Maintain Perfect Temperature
When solar isn’t enough, an Arctic Heat Pump ensures consistent water temperature - day or night, in any weather.
GeoBubble Cover - Keep Heat In
Prevent heat loss overnight by reducing evaporation - the #1 cause of energy loss. This is the single most effective way to lower heating costs.

Andrew Poitras
Excellent product. Our THERMAX solar panels arrived right on schedule with all the necessary hardware. Installation was a breeze. We were up and running in no time. Brayden Cranstone provided exceptional customer service and follow up. Northern Lights Solar Solutions and THERMAX definitely earn five stars!
Jeffrey Langner
We've been using the 060ZA Arctic Heat Pump to heat our 16x32 foot inground pool in Winnipeg, CA for 2 summers now. It has proven to be an efficient, cost-effective heater that more than meets needs. Our kids like the pool warm so we typically keep it between 87-89F during the summer months. The heater has no issue maintaining that temperature for us. We pay significantly less to heat our pool for the season compared to our neighbours who use a gas heater.
Dan Whitewall
We installed a Thermax Extreme last spring and are going into our first winter in Texas. So far the pool is 18 degrees warmer than last year during Christmas and kids are still in the pool every day. Great customer support.
Pool Heating FAQs
The most efficient way to heat a swimming pool is by using a combination of solar pool heaters, a pool heat pump, and a solar pool cover. Solar pool panels provide free heat during the day, the heat pump maintains temperature when needed, and the cover prevents heat loss—creating the most cost-effective system overall.

About Us
Built Around the Best in Pool Heating
For over 25 years, we’ve focused on one thing—delivering the most efficient and reliable pool heating systems possible. Instead of offering dozens of average products, we’ve carefully selected and engineered our systems around the highest-performing solar pool panels, heat pumps, and heat retention covers available. Every component we use is chosen based on real-world performance, durability, and long-term energy savings.
Thermax Solar Pool Panels — Proven Performance
Considered the Cadillac of Solar Pool Panels with the industries longest warranty - 20 years. We use high-efficiency solar pool panels designed to deliver maximum heat output with minimal maintenance. Built for durability and long lifespan, they provide the lowest-cost way to heat your pool using free energy from the sun.
Arctic Pool Heat Pumps — Reliable & Efficient
Arctic Heat Pumps are rated #1 pool heat pump in North America for their ability to heat and cool across the widest ranges of temperatures from -20C to + 50 C. Selected for their ability to maintain consistent water temperature in any climate, including pool cooling in Summer. When solar alone isn't enough, they ensure your pool stays perfectly heated.
GeoBubble Covers — Maximum Heat Retention
We use advanced GeoBubble technology because it outperforms traditional solar pool covers in both durability and heat retention. By reducing evaporation—the biggest source of heat loss—these covers dramatically improve system efficiency. While there are lots of covers on the market the patented design of GeoBubble's Sol + Guard are specially designed to harness and maintain the solar energy. Nothing on the market comes close in terms of performance and reliability.
By combining these three best-in-class components into a single, integrated system, we’re able to deliver superior performance, lower operating costs, and a better overall pool experience. It’s not about selling products—it’s about designing the right solution.
