I was very skeptical because of the negative reviews, but I gave it a shot because I always take online reviews with a grain of salt. Also, I felt like the information available on these was iffy at best, so I called Intex support to verify they'll work with my pump, and he said they would definitely work without any problems. My pump is an Intex SF70110 2150 GPH sand pump. Back I went to Amazon to order a six-pack of them. I wish I had heeded the warnings. Since I was skeptical, I got the first one of six out and hooked it up. It ran with no issues, so I hooked up more. (I have a 14,000-gallon pool so Intex recommends six of them) I got all six set up and aside from some little leaks that needed tightening, everything looked great. In under an hour of the first day of actual use with them all hooked up, one spring a pinhole leak. I figured that's not terrible and I'll get a patch kit, no problem. The next time I used them, one had a big blowout right under the valve connection. I removed it and used the remaining five. The next time, another blowout. At this point I figured I might as well keep going because half of them are damaged anyway. The next time, another blowout at the same place. I disconnected it and connected the remaining few. I let them run a while and everything seemed to be going well. About a half hour later, another blowout. I now have one left that hasn't blown, and it's completely useless because of its size. All of them are going back. I am very VERY unhappy with Intex and their support. This is a very crappy product. The valves that "bypass" the heater part of the mats don't work, partly because the valve doesn't work well, partly because the heater and bypass sections of the mat appear to be connected, so it's always going through both sides no matter which way the valve is turned. These are just a complete joke. Another mildly infuriating thing is when connecting one to the next, the curved hose makes the connection points want to bend, causing it to pinch off the water, which I'm sure is a big part of the problem too. It's nearly impossible to get these to sit right so they don't pinch. Oh, and I had to add a bunch of additional hoses, seals, and connectors because these can't be located close enough to the pool to use what's existing. Now I have a boatload of extra parts too. GRRR... When I try to do this again, I'll either add a separate pump, or take the water straight out of the drain, because that should be adequate to move it through whatever system I come up with. I'll most likely do a homemade thing with black pipe or garden hose. I have a lot of empty space, so I'm going to take my time and experiment. For the same price, a few hundred feet of garden hose ran out of the drain and back into the pool might be sufficient. I'll update with any progress. UPDATE: I contacted the seller to see if they could help before I pack it all up and return it. They were very nice and sent me a replacement right away. When it arrived, I hooked it up to a new pump that does1000 GPH instead of the 2000+ that my current pump does. I was hoping it would be sufficient to warm the pool on it's own and not blow up the heater mats. Well, it didn't blow them up, but it also didn't have enough power to do a decent job. I have no idea how this is supposed to work. It's very frustrating. I'll probably call them again next year when I open the pool again. If anything good comes of it, I'll update this again.

Just connected thesesolar panels to my pool two days ago and I went to check and make sure they were working correctly and two of them were spouting out water

These mats really reduce the flow of water from the filter. The flow with only 1 connected to a Intex C530 pump is now a trickle. I may try to rig up a pump to just push water through for heating. I should have read the customer reviews before purchasing

Would not recommend for a larger pool. The connections are limiting for a layout that makes uses of all 6 pads. The connections leak and if you tighten them too much they often snap.

I went to set this up & again intex did not include the hose clamps. You need at least 4 per mat. I had the same trouble with the intex 14 x 42 ultra xtr pool. very frustrating
