  • Does a great job on our 15'×42" pool
Size: 5' x 10' Space Saver Collector Kit
When the pump is running, you can definitely feel a temperature difference with the water returning from the heater. Pool has been nice and warm since we installed the heater.

  • Don't buy this item!
Size: 2.5' x 20' Collector Kit
Product is too hard to set up and once we did. It doesn't work well. You have to wait for tiny tubes to heat up and release in pool. Must release new hot water everytime. Nightmare!

  • Works great but tough install.
Size: 5' x 10' Space Saver Collector Kit
This was not a plug-n-play as I expected. I was replacing my older (different brand) panels with the higher rated/reviewed Doheny's. They do seem more robust but the size was not exact. My old panels were 2x10 and these were listed as 2x10 panels. It is actually 1 1x10 panels. No problem right..?.. wrong because there is a connector between each set. Therefore where I could fit 2 - 2ft panels, I could now only fit 3 - 1ft panels. Another FYI, the piping is all 1 1/4" connection where as all of my piping is 1 1/2". Not a big deal, just need a few other plumbing items from the local Home Depot. This system will demand a bit more from your motor, probably reflected in my next power bill but definitely worth it. Besides this, they work as advertised. The water coming through the jets was definitely warmer to the touch - I think I gained 5 degrees and had the panels on for 3 hours. If I left the system running all day, I'm sure I could get 10 degrees. ... show more

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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
