swimming pool solar heat pod

Solar Pod & Solar Pod Plus

The Plastica Solar Pod is an attractive dome shaped design - fantastic as an additional source of heating for your swimming pool. Very compact and easy to fit. 

Solar Pod Plus is almost double the size of the standard pod, giving you greater heat gain, and has a reflective underside to increase the heat trap.

Solar Pod operates by harnessing the free energy from the sun and transferring it into your pool water. Its heat trap technology with glass house effect captures energy within the ultra-clear polycarbonate dome and transfers heat to its polycarbonate heat exchanger.

Solar Pod’s clear dome also reduces heat loss from its heat exchanger caused by wind exposure.

Suitable for above-ground and in-ground pools

2 sizes available
