  • Review of Doheny’s solar pool heater
Size: 2.5' x 20' Collector Kit
Their service was very rapid and appreciated. The item works great. We are swimming in 90° water. However, I had to improvise in order to hook it up to my pool as my pool hoses were bigger than the connectors for the heater and the smaller hoses for the heater would not work on my pool connections, therefore I do have a slight leak, but nothing you can’t live with very happy with this product would highly recommend it ... show more

  • Very Dissatisfied!
Size: 2.5' x 20' Collector Kit
Terrible! Flimsy piece of plastic that’s unstable and poor hook up! Bought it and haven’t been able to mount it and hook it up! Wish I can send it back and get my money back. Very disappointed and dissatisfied.

  • Doesn't look like the picture
Size: 5' x 10' Space Saver Collector Kit
Let me explain the four star review, as the product does work as advertised. I've very happy with how it helps keep the water temperature up. When it's hot outside, it can raise the temperature of the pool 3 or 4 degrees. The reason for the less than five star review is that I was rather surprised at how the panels are actually put together. When you get the box, you'll find the tubes rolled up and not something you could keep remotely flat. You have to build your own ramp, and while we anticipated this, the size in the picture looks a lot smaller than what you actually get. Our ramp ended up being over 6 feet tall and 11 feet wide. I guess I had assumed that based on the picture, they were going to arrive and be panel-ish, and not just molded plastic tubing rolled up. I'm pretty handy when it comes to woodwork, but my ramp was no where near as clean looking as the photo. Luckily we can keep in an area that is not in full view. While not an eye sore exactly, it certainly isn't pretty. ... show more

  • Water comes in hotter than pool
Size: 2.5' x 20' Collector Kit
It works so good I turn it off when water hits 85! I live near Boston so this is great. You might wonder how did I turn off? I bought some "Y" ball valves and a small hose. so I can just rotate valve to straight return and bypass solar. (I did mark which way to turn Solar/return). Make sure in fall you really drain water left inside will expand and crack resulting in leak. I used a "C" clamp to compress 90 then I easily rotated to lock fitting onto panel. This is my second as I did not drain and had leaks now I know better. ... show more

  • Great solar panel
Size: 5' x 20' Collector Kit
We had the previous version of this panel from 2014 - 2022 when it got so many leaks it was more like a sprinkler than a water heater. Bought this thinking it would be a like for like replacement. Sadly, it is not. The 2.5' panels of the old one were solid except for small slits where it sat on the hooks for the hanging system. These, each 2.5' section has 4 smaller sections. It is absolutely horrible to work with and makes hanging it very difficult. I almost feel like we need to tape it all together on the back side to get them to all lay flat and not overlap one another. Three stars for crappy re-design of a product that used to be perfect. ... show more
