PCS1 SolarAttic Pool Heater
The Original SolarAttic
Pool Heating System
The PCS1 Solar Attic Pool Heater was the original compact system that introduced homeowners to a smarter way to extend their pool season using trapped attic heat. Designed to capture high-temperature attic air and transfer that renewable heat into pool water, the PCS1 helped reduce heating costs while improving attic ventilation performance.
​
While this model has been retired and replaced by our advanced PCS4 systems, many PCS1 units remain in operation today.
How the PCS1 SolarAttic Pool Heater Worked
The PCS1 system operated on a simple but effective principle:
-
Sun heats the attic space.
-
The system captures trapped attic heat.
-
Heat is transferred into the pool water.
-
Pool temperature increases.
-
Attic heat buildup is reduced.
This dual-purpose solar heat recovery design allowed homeowners to extend their swimming season while cooling their attic at the same time.
Key Benefits of the PCS1 System
✔ Extended pool season in spring and fall
✔ Reduced dependence on gas or electric heaters
✔ Lower seasonal heating costs
✔ Improved attic heat management
✔ Renewable energy pool heating
The PCS1 laid the foundation for the modern SolarAttic lineup.
