Pool Equipment

Report

Money saving salt machines, automation, heaters, and high efficiency pumps Welcome to the 21st century pool. For years, pools were only about appearances. There was very little interest in the work, cost of owning and operating a pool. It was like buying a car without looking under the hood at the engine.

Pool Heating

Report

Solar pool heating is a very mature technology; thousands of solar pool heaters have delivered trouble-free operation in Florida since the late 1970s. A quality solar pool heater will keep you swimming in a warm, comfortable pool for the next 15 to 20 years. All solar heating systems work on the same principle as a garden hose sitting out in the sun.

Water Heating

Report

Solar water heating gives you and your family more hot water while at the same time dramatically reducing electricity costs. An average family of four spends up to $2.75 per day or $1000 a year for heating water for showers, bathing, dishwashers and laundry machines.

Electric Systems

Report

Solar electric systems are a great way to create electricity and to save money on your power bills. Our state-certified company has been working with solar energy in Sarasota and Manatee counties since 1978.

Excellent customer service and great job installing our solar pool heater! Initially Robert came and explained everything and was not pushy trying to sell unneeded equipment.

Robert Manna II and his crew were the most efficient and professional team I've had in a while. Did a superb job installing solar panels and always called if unable to meet a time that was scheduled. Would highly recommend.

The first decision I made after purchasing my house was installing solar heating for the pool. After talking to numerous vendors I decided to go with Roark Solar. The quality and professionalism you will get from this company cannot compare to anyone else. The post-install customer service has been amazing for any questions I have, future potential. quotes on other systems they offer, and they also provided me the best price and service for a whole new filter and pump system. I will continue to check with them for any and all pool needs as they seriously do it all. I cannot recommend them high enough.
