BAP is a innovative Canadian company with a revolutionary system of circulating the working fluid in solar water heating systems by means of a bubble pump. The system is revolutionary because the pump which is always required in frost-prone climates uses no electricity, has no moving parts, is self-controlling and yet moves the heated working fluid from the collector panels on the roof to the heat exchanger at the storage tank below.

The SOL Perpetua™ System
SOL Perpetua™ is the name we have given our unique, passive solar water heating system. The heart of the system is a bubble pump which, instead of using electricity like ordinary pumps, is activated by heat to circulate a working fluid from the solar collector to the heat exchanger at the storage tank located at a lower level. Usually the water being heated is potable water but it can also be the water of a space heating system or the water in a swimming pool.
