Thermorush – The New Benchmark in Solar Pool Heating
Imagine enjoying your pool for up to 8 months a year while paying less than $2 a day for your Thermorush system (the initial outlay costs based on the new 8-month swimming season). That’s the power of Thermorush, the latest solar pool heating system developed by Thermo Pools.
For over 45 years, we’ve been at the forefront of solar heating technology. Our well-known Thermotube system has already delivered reliable heating to more than 10,000 Australian pools. Now, we’ve taken things further with Thermorush, a patented design that delivers faster heating, lower running costs, and greater efficiency.
How Thermorush Works
Traditional solar pool heating systems push water through all panels in parallel, which limits the amount of heat absorbed. Thermorush is different. It uses a sequential flow system, where water passes through each panel one by one, heating more with every stage.
The result?
- Water reaches up to 60 to 80% higher outlet temperatures compared to traditional parallel systems
- Pools heat faster with shorter pump run-times
- Lower electricity usage and running costs
- A longer swimming season, keeping your pool comfortable for 8 months of the year
With Thermorush, your pool heats quicker, stays warmer, and costs less to run, all while being built to withstand Australian conditions.
Our Classic Product: Thermotube (Traditional Flow System)
Before the launch of Thermorush, we built our reputation on the Thermotube solar pool heating system. This panel system was the first of its kind on the market! With its unique interlocking design and 80 tubes per square metre (33% more than many competing systems), Thermotube has been one of the most reliable systems in Australia since the 1980s.
Key benefits of Thermotube include:
- Seamless factory-welded joints for long-term durability
- Proven efficiency
- Made from UV-stabilised PVC, resistant to chemicals and harsh Australian weather
- Over 15 years of service life with minimal maintenance
Thermorush vs Traditional flow
For decades, the traditional flow systems have been the trusted solar pool heating system in Australia, with thousands of installations proving their durability and performance. But with new advancements, we’ve taken things further.
Here’s how the two flow designs compare:
| Feature | Thermorush (New) | Traditional flow |
|---|---|---|
| Heating Performance | Sequential flow design heats water progressively through each panel | Parallel flow through all panels, simultaneously |
| Outlet Water Temperature | 60 - 80% higher than traditional systems | Proven efficiency |
| Pump Run-Time | Shorter run-time, reduces electricity costs and pump wear | Standard run-time, reliable performance |
| Swimming Season | Extend your pool use to 8 months a year | Pool use for 6 months a year |
| Durability | Australian-made, UV-stabilised, built to last decades | Australian-made, UV-stabilised, built to last decades |
| Cost | Same as traditional flow systems | Same as Thermorush system |

Before undertaking any large installation in your home, it pays to understand what is involved and how each part works in the process.
Solar Power Systems
There are three main types of Solar Heating Systems. It is not prudent to try and combine these systems. For the best performance, only choose one.
- Polyvoltiac (PV) panels produce electricity.
- Hot water service for the house using copper piping.
- Swimming pool heating with plastic tubes.
Pool Heating Systems
There are two types of Pool Heating Systems
- Strips that are 15 cm in width and run horizontally across the roof.
- Panels that are 100 cm or larger in width and run vertically down the roof.
- The strip systems are held down with silicone, and they are susceptible to weather and can be lifted by strong winds. The strip systems are regarded as the old generation, and these pool heating systems are phased out gradually.
Solar Panel Systems
There are two main types of Solar Panel Systems
- Plastic tubing inside an aluminium box and sits on the roof.
- Plastic tubing fitted directly onto the roof and manufactured to a specific diameter and design.
- The aluminium box system is very efficient and will require less roof space but is considerably more expensive and can cost double than alternative systems.
- With sufficient roof space, plastic tubing directly on the roof is your best value for money option.

What Are Thermorush Panels Made Of?
Thermorush panels are designed with advanced sequential flow technology that transforms the way solar pool heating works. Instead of pushing water through all panels at once, Thermorush directs water panel by panel, heating it progressively as it flows. This means warmer water, shorter pump cycles, and less energy use compared to traditional systems.
Each panel is manufactured in Sydney using high-grade, UV-stabilised PVC. Built for Australian conditions, Thermorush panels are resistant to pool chemicals, harsh sun exposure, and changing weather, ensuring decades of reliable performance.
What is the cost of a new Thermorush Solar Heating System?
With Thermorush, you get more warmth, more comfort, and more value for the same investment as traditional systems.
When you break down the numbers, the value becomes clear; if you take an average system at an investment of around $6,000 upfront, across a 15-year lifespan (our warranty) and an 8-month swimming season, this gives around 3,600 swimming days causing the outlay cost to be approximately only $1.70 per day! For the same upfront price as traditional systems, you enjoy up to 8 months of warm water each year, quicker heating, and lower ongoing expenses.

Our design eliminates the need for crude methods, such as fixing loose strips to roofs. Consequently, the roof is not permanently marked, and the absorber tubes are not interfered with, so they can still expand and contract freely. The securing is reversible if servicing of the roof is needed. If you accept a cheap strip system, you have to be prepared to make massive concessions. Read the guarantee fine print for details.
A solar pool heating system harnesses the sun’s energy and transmits it to keep your swimming pool water warm all year round. It’s a great way to save money on electricity bills and extend the usage of your pool, but how does it all work?
In simple terms, water is pumped from your spa, Jacuzzi or swimming pool and is pushed through a multi-tube collector. It is usually installed somewhere discreet such as your house roof. The multi-tube collector warms the water quickly and efficiently and directs the warm water back into your pool or spa.
The multi-tube or ‘Thermotube’ technology provides an efficient, discreet solar heating system on the roof of your home. There are many different solar heating roofing systems, so look for one that gives you the most bang for your buck and surface coverage.
Even on cloudy days, the solar panels can collect the sun’s energy and convert it into power to heat your pool. The bigger the surface area, the more solar energy can be harnessed to power your solar pool heater.
Solar pool heaters are safe and hard-wearing; with superior quality parts and systems, they can last approximately 15-25 years! It is recommended to look for a solar pool heating specialist who manufactures and makes parts here in Australia. When it comes to repairs, servicing and availability of parts, it’s far better to deal with Australian made rather than cheaper imports, which don’t have the durability or the availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How much does a Thermorush solar pool heating system cost?
The cost of a Thermorush system depends on your pool size and roof space, but for an average pool (40,000L) you can expect to pay around $6,000, including supply of panels, pump and controller, professional installation, and a 15-year warranty.
What’s the difference between traditional flow systems and Thermorush?
Both systems are Australian-made and built to last, but Thermorush uses a patented sequential panel design instead of parallel flow. This means:
- Water heats progressively, reaching up to 60-80% higher outlet temperatures
- Pump run-times are shorter, lowering energy costs
- Best of all, Thermorush costs the same as our previous traditional flow system.
How long will a solar pool heating system last?
A well-installed system like Thermorush can last 15–25 years with minimal maintenance. We recommend annual servicing to keep everything running smoothly and to catch small issues before they become costly repairs.
