Special glazing creates a greenhouse effect, significantly increasing the performance of the collector.
All SwimLux collectors are manufactured from 100% UV stabilized polypropylene using a unique over molding process. During this process, the headers and the individual tubes are molded into one piece, eliminating hundreds of individual joints.
The added multi-wall glazing of a SwimLux collector produces a greenhouse effect for each of these individual tubes, greatly enhancing performance during cool or breezy weather. This high standard of innovation, technology and manufacturing is backed by an industry leading 12-year warranty with a bonus lifetime limited warranty.
Innovative Engineering
A combination of special header and mounting features eliminates possible tile damage caused by the constant contraction and expansion of the materials, while preventing flow characteristics with minimum pressure drop. A modular structure enables fast and firm connection between panels, creating any size absorption area over any type of roof imaginable. Reinforced polyamide clamps & fittings create a fast and reliable connection between panels and pipes. The specially designed mounting kit creates a simple and fast assembly with extreme strength against strong winds. Binders strengthen the collector while allowing firm connections to metal/wooden rack in order to absorb lift forces caused by strong winds.
Innovative Performance Enhancing Technology
Multi-wall Encapsulation Glazing. Each panel is encased in a partitioned polymeric glazing to create a greenhouse effect, which significantly enhances the panel’s performance. SwimLux features a specially formulated polymer material. Tested in authorized laboratories, a unique polymer formula stabilizes against sustained ultraviolet radiation, extreme weather conditions, and aging. PC glazing is coated with a durable and sustainable UV blocking layer that ensures high transparency over a long period of time. Over-Molding Injection Technology; a one of a kind injection process connects riser tubes to the header, creating a seamless joint to form a single polymer panel with extreme pressure stability.
Smart Product Manufacturing
This single piece construction provides one seamless, leak-poof, integrally molded thermoplastic unit, ensuring a maintenance-free system; no corrosion and no limescale buildup. It also remains stable under extreme water pressure. Sealing Panel: Patent-pending mechanism that allows the absorber to expand and contract, simultaneously preventing the ingress of water and dust into the glazing.
Cutting Edge Design
A unique square manifold header design to assure tight fastening and mounting of the panel to any roof type. Headers and risers are molded together forming one solid piece, eliminating seams and welds that can crack with age and stress. Preserves water flow with minimum drop in pressure.
Industry Leading Warranty Protection

Option To Include Premium Pentair Valves: ("Valves Included?" Option)
You have the choice of either including, or not including, a full set of valves necessary for completing the plumbing connections from your solar pool heating panels to your pool's pump & filtration system. This package of Premium Pentair Pool Valves has been bundled together to provide you with a complete set of the best valves you can get (should you choose to include them).
If you are installing a system for the first time, these valves will be needed to complete the plumbing connection from your solar panels to your pool's pump and filtration system. If you are replacing an existing system, these valves may already be in place, and new ones would then not be needed.
Generally Speaking:
- For new installations (first time installs): Valves will be needed.
- For replacing an old/existing system: Valves not required.
If you choose to include valves, you will receive a full set of Premium Pentair CPVC Optimum positive-seal pool valves. These are top of the line valves that provide a lifetime of superior performance and have excellent flow characteristics for a high flow rate, ideal for maximizing the performance and efficiency of your solar pool heating system.
A 3-port diverter valve is manually adjusted to turn solar on and off. Two isolation valves are used to completely shut off solar for maintenance and winterization (prevents water from entering the solar panels). The check valve is used to prevent water from flowing backwards through your pump & filter. Includes premium Pentair lube-free valve’s, 2″-2.5″ CPVC.
If you choose to include valves, you will receive the following:
- (1) Pentair 3-Port Solar Valve w/ Drain Down, CPVC, 2″-2.5″
- (1) Pentair 2-Port Check Valve, CPVC, 2″-2.5″
- (2) Pentair 2-Port Isolation Valve, Positive Seal, CPVC, 2″-2.5″
