With a team of approximately 70 passionate individuals, Sunbather has garnered a constellation of awards over the decades, cementing its status as the nation’s foremost authority in solar pool heating and thermal covers. But beyond accolades, Sunbather prides itself on its unwavering commitment to innovation, Australian manufacturing, and a steadfast focus on energy efficiency and climate care.
