Sunbather installations range from the largest and most complex Olympic pools down to local swim schools. For example, the Australian Institute of Sport water management system moves over 3.3 tonnes of water through the solar collector every minute. After four decades and thousands of installations, Sunbather is accepted as the pool industry’s benchmark for commercial solar.
SUNBATHER WARMS YOUR POOL. NOT THE PLANET!
From its inception 40 years ago, Sunbather’s primary objective has always been to use state-of-the-art, environmental technologies to heat swimming pools and then retain that heat for as long as possible. Always with the minimum consumption of fossil fuel based energy. Ÿ It’s why Sunbather started and has led solar innovation for 40 years. Ÿ They began with award-winning glazed panels. Ÿ Then graduated to flexible strip. Ÿ Now they’ve added unglazed panels to their solar arsenal. Ÿ SOLAR is always their first heating option. Ÿ The most efficient fossil fuel heaters are used when necessary. Ÿ And all heating systems should have a THERMAL COVER system.
COMMERCIAL POOL HEATING PROBLEMS REQUIRE ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS.
Every commercial pool heating system presents a new set of unique challenges but Sunbather engineers understand the mysteries of flow and balance hydraulics that are so crucial to good performance. They have a track record of finding innovative solutions to every problem. The key is four decades of specialised knowledge combined with a flexible range of product options that can be manufactured in-house to meet specific requirements.

SUNBATHER IS THE INDUSTRY BENCHMARK - THE MOST TRUSTED NAME IN SOLAR.
WANT TO KNOW YOUR ‘ROI’ IN ADVANCE?
All Sunbather systems are created using computer models developed in conjunction with the University of NSW. With the push of a button Sunbather can produce a very accurate Return on Investment estimate to assist pool managers with securing support and funding for major projects. “Our energy management equipment was installed professionally and on time. Gas savings were immediate and as predicted.” Ian Kilkpatrick, Property Manager, Mentone Girls Grammar School.
“Our training facilities are world-class: that's why we chose Sunbather.” Geoff Bullock, Energy Manager.

SUCCESS BUILT ON THE HIGHEST QUALITY COMPONENTS.
Sunbather only use the highest quality commercial grade pumps, valves and fittings in their solar systems. Sunbather has installed numerous combinations of solar, heat pump or gas heating over the last 40 years and their goal is to select and install the highest quality brands to provide the best performance and greatest value heating solution for every pool.

GREENHOUSE GAS MONITOR
The Greenhouse Gas Monitor continuously calculates the solar energy being collected and displays it in kilowatts for comparison with heat that would be produced by a conventional gas fired or electric heater.
7
NATIONAL SUPPORT NETWORK.
Commercial systems need prompt and expert technical support. Sunbather’s branches and agents across Australia, provide that support and as a local manufacturer bespoke solutions can be created to resolve any unusual problems.
The accumulated solar energy is multiplied by a factor (provided by the Australian Greenhouse Office) to give a total in tonnes of CO2 greenhouse gas. This total is equivalent to the CO2 that would have been produced if the pool had been heated by a conventional method. The total of greenhouse gas tonnes saved, constantly accumulates. The GGM is best mounted where it can be seen by all pool users so everyone is aware of the greenhouse gas savings being made. SOLAR POOL HEATING

SOLAR MINIMISES YOUR POOL’S CARBON FOOTPRINT!
Solar pool heating has almost no carbon footprint, whilst all gas and electric pool heaters burn fossil fuels. Burning fossil fuel just to heat a swimming pool cannot be justified. Recent testing* of hot water systems highlighted the greenhouse gas contributions of different fuels:

SOLAR WON’T BURN YOUR MONEY.
Fossil fuel pool heaters are expensive to run. Solar running costs are almost zero. Using a Sunbather solar system with gas or “Our trainingelectric facilities areheating world-class: can that's why we chose all Sunbather.” provide year round heating with Geoff Bullock, Energy Manager. AUSTRALIAN INSTITUTE OF SPORT. dramatically reduced costs.

WARM WATER RETURNS TO POOL
Commercial pools are large bodies of water to heat. Solar is today and tomorrow’s pool heating technology. Fossil fuel heaters are yesterday’s technology. On a sunny day, when pools are most in use, a Sunbather solar pool heater will produce up to FOUR TIMES the output of a gas heater or electric heat pump. And all that energy is FREE!

SUNBATHER’S EXCLUSIVE HIPEC.
Sunbather has developed their own award-wining HiPEC flexible strip collector to ensure tube thickness, thermal resistance, area exposed to the Sun and water distribution across the collector were ideal for absorbing and transferring heat.
“After 2500 hours of accelerated tests to ASTMG53 the HiPEC samples showed no degradation or deterioration.” Australian Vinyls Corporation Limited.
12. They punched holes in the webbing to assist drainage and adhesion. Overnight dew evaporates more quickly to warm the roof. 13. They introduced coloured HiPEC collectors to blend with popular roofing colours and won the pool industry Product Innovation Award in 2003. 14. They developed the patented Compression Manifold Connection to be quick and easy to install or repair. It’s pressure tested to eliminate leaks and is covered by the Sunbather 15-Year Customer Protection Plan.

DON’T BURN MONEY TO KEEP YOUR POOL WARM OVERNIGHT.
Fuel heaters are expensive to run BUT..... Having a cold pool at the start of every day will also cost you money. The answer is simple. Cover your pool with a Sunbather Thermal Pool Cover when it’s not in use and you’ll cut your annual heating costs dramatically. You’ll also have a nice warm pool to start each day.

IT PAYS FOR ITSELF!
DON’T WATCH YOUR MONEY EVAPORATE EITHER.
Water loss is an environmental and a financial loss. The table shows, water loss on unheated pools is almost twice their water volume every year! Heating doubles that loss. In the hotter regions it's even more. A Sunbather pool cover, used diligently, has the potential to save up to 95% of water evaporation. On a 500sqm unheated Sydney commercial pool that's over half a million litres.
Annual savings on fuel bills with a Sunbather Thermal Pool Cover usually recoup the entire system cost in just one or two years!

ONLY THE SUPER TOUGH SURVIVE.
Sunbather pioneered and dominates commercial thermal pool covers by designing covers that are clever and tough. Blankets are UV stabilised, closed cell, cross-linked foam flame-bonded between layers of polyethylene fabric. Outdoor covers have wind-edging. Indoor pools get double mesh edging. Fixtures are stainless steel. Sunbather innovations are driven by the need to perform while coping with a commercial pool environment. SOLAR POOL HEATING

“We are delighted with the gas savings and the ease of operation. The staff have found the system amazingly simple to use.”
HAND-OPERATED WALL-MONUTED ROLLER
Phil King, Kings Swim Centers
23 ROLLERS
ROLLERS FOR EVERY TASK.
From their basic hand-operated rollers to their state-of-the-art motorised units, every Sunbather roller is made to the same exacting quality and performance standards. Every pool is unique and Sunbather’s capacity to create bespoke solutions for every site has made them the leader in high tech thermal pool cover and roller systems. Swimming pool chemicals, salt, and temperatures are a harsh environment for rollers which is why a combination of stainless steel, acetal, and nylon ensure the industry leading 200S roller will stand the test of time. Roller shafts are anodised aluminium.
ROLLER WITH LANE ROPE EXTENSION
The housing is of robust stainless steel. Bearing and locking bolts are acetal. Wheels are made of the toughest Nylon with stainless steel swivel castors and brakes. The 15 year warranty on the frame is evidence alone that Sunbather have produced the best roller possible. The unique Drop Bolt system ensures correct, stable and repeatable positioning for ease and safety.
25
THE FUTURE IS MOTOR-DRIVEN.
Given the impact of OH&S and the size of modern pool covers, the future for commercial pool rollers is motor-driven. Motors can be hidden inside the roller shaft itself.
ROLLER WITH DROP BOLT
They can be wall-mounted, side-mounted, end mounted, installed under benches or even hung from the ceiling.
24
They can be remote controlled and key-lockable. They can straddle starting blocks; cope with lane ropes; cope with pools 50m and longer and even cope with negative edge and wet deck pools.
‘SUPER SLAVE’ - OH&S PROTECTION.
The SuperSlave Mk4 removes and deploys large pool blankets in minutes with ease. It is attached to the roller and mechanically rotates to wind it up or pull it out. That makes it the perfect solution for today's OH&S safety considerations. Its stainless steel and anodised aluminium construction is able to withstand harsh pool environments and it moves on braked wheels, so can be simply wheeled away from the pool area when not in use.
In essence they are practical, out of the way, simple to use and cost effective with energy and OH&S savings.
