"He was adamant he did not want that again. It caused him damage on his roof to the point where I think it was maybe fifteen to twenty thousand bucks worth of repair work on a house he'd only just bought."
When Reza contacted Anthony about swimming pool heating for his Adelaide home, he had serious concerns. His previous rubber tube solar heating system had caused $15,000 to $20,000 worth of roof damage. He knew he needed proper heating, but he was determined not to repeat that disaster.
Anthony's response showed why consultation matters more than sales pitches.
"I'm not here to tell him what he's going to want. I looked at it and said, well his perfect solution is we'll take one solar pool heating solution, put another one on, that's not going to give him the same problem, that's going to alleviate all of his issues."
The solution? A 4.5 kilowatt solar panel system running a heat pump. No rubber tubes. No roof damage risk. The system runs whenever there's enough sun to generate power, which includes cloudy and rainy days.
"I was there mid May and we checked his pool was at 23 degrees. And that was just the heat pump running off of the panels by itself."
That's 23°C swimming pool water in mid-May, in Adelaide, running entirely on solar power. The system also includes grid connection as backup for days when solar generation drops, but Reza rarely needs it.
From $20,000 roof disaster to worry-free off-grid heating. That's the difference between generic solutions and properly designed hybrid pool heating systems that address actual customer concerns.
