  • Overall a good product. Would buy again. A couple small issues.
Color: Black Style: Pool Solar Heating System
I bought two of these heaters. I thought the quality was very good. They were a bit of a challenge to unroll. I used a torpedo heater to soften the plastic so I could lay them flat on my garage floor so I could tell what I was working with. The roof on my small barn work shop is 20 feet long and I wanted to be sure these would fit. They measure just short of 20 feet so they fit fine. Each heater comes with 2 solar panels, 4 rubber connectors with hose clamps and a bunch of metal pieces about four inches long that have a right angle bend on one end and a screw hole on the other end. Each panel has small slots in the plastic near the top and bottom edge that I assume these "hooks" are suppose to grip as you screw them down. I saw no way to use these with strap of any kind. I can understand the problems and confusion some people have had with these because they came with zero instructions. No suggestions on how to plumb or fasten these down or together. The most important thing to understand about these is that you can not run the full flow of water from your pool pump through these. They can not handle that much pressure. You have to install valves in the line that control how much water flows to the heater and how much goes straight back to the pool. The people that have leaks at the connectors or the connectors rupture must be trying to run all the flow through their heater. Complaints that the rubber connectors won't work because the ends of the pipe are threaded are unfounded because the pipe ends are designed to use with either threaded fittings or hose clamped fittings. The rubber connectors slide past the threads and on to a wide groove made to seal with a clamp. If you plan to run water through one panel and then back through the next you will have to buy four 1 1/2" threaded pvc pipe caps and thread sealer tape. To connect the input and output water lines I used the rubber connectors and inserted a 1 1/2" slip to 1" female thread reducer. Then I threaded in a male 1" threaded to black plastic pipe barbed adapter. I also used unions in a couple places so I could easily disconnect the water lines if needed. My system worked great on the first try with no leaks or problems. To hold my system down to the roof I used five pieces of 1/2" metal conduit. I laid each piece down across the assembled heater and marked the conduit just below each panel then drilled a screw hole through the conduit at each mark. I cut a 3/4" piece of 3/8" rubber gas line type hose to use as a spacer and seal between the conduit and the roof. I filled the short piece of hose with silicone, put it under the conduit and ran a galvanized screw through the conduit and spacer into the shingled roof. The hose will squash down and force the silicone to squeeze out a little so you can be sure you have a good seal on the roof. Other than lack of instructions the only quality issue I had was one of the heater panels had been trimmed too close to the last tube and that tube would have leaked. Be sure to look for this before installing so you can fix it easily. I cut out a small piece of that last tube at both ends and ran a small screw into where it connects to both pipes. On a sunny day these warm the water by several degrees. How much it heats your pool depends on how much water is in your pool, how much sun you get and how cold it gets overnight. These only raise the water temp a little so if the water in your pool is 50 degrees the return from the heater may be 55 to 60. If your pool is 80 degrees the return maybe be 90. Also, temp is relative to flow. If the water trickles through it may come out very hot. If it flows through fast you may not be able to feel much difference. Either way you may be adding the same amount of heat to your pool. I hope this review helps a few of you. I thought the product was worth buying and I may buy one more to add to what I have next year. ... show more

  • It does work!!
Color: Black Style: Pool Solar Heating System
I had this system installed last year. Wanted to wait a year before I gave an actual review. First of all, yes it works. My pool was 76 yesterday and is 80 today. I get a rise daily between 3 and 6 degrees on average. I do not have mine in direct sunlight all day, only gets about 5 to 5.5 hours of sun a day. I mounted 5 of the 6 panels I ordered and plumbed into my pool plumbing. We figured there is about a mile of tubing water is flowing through on my patio roof. First thing to do, take the valves in the installation kit and throw them as far as you can. They are a waste. All they will do is restrict water flow. Secnd thing, take careful consideration as to where you mount these and how they will plumb into your system. We spent the better part of 2 days designing the plumbing layout (see menagerie of pipe in pic). Since mine is up so high, we have a significant amount of head pressure which I resolved with a more powerful pump (needed it anyway) What made mine a tough install was due to the fact I wanted to be able to bypass the solar panels anytime I wanted, once the pool reached the desired temp level or to bypass in the winter and drain so they do not freeze. We got around this with a one way valve and two more valves to make the bypass. Would I buy again, absolutely. Do I recommend this product, absolutely. If you are a novice, I suggest you get your favorite pool company out to help you design and install your system. Please keep in mind, putting these at any height will create head pressure and you do have to take that into consideration if you have a waterfall or any other water decor that requires pressure to function. ... show more

  • Solar pool heat is the way to go!
Color: Black Style: Pool Solar Heating System
I'm writing this review (my first ever Amazon review) as an endorsement of solar pool heating in general because I'm sure other similar products would perform the same. My experience so far with this particular one has been stellar, but I can't say whether or not it's any better or worse than other manufactures with similar designs. When I researched this, this one seemed to offer the best value. We had an inground pool installed in January and February of 2014 in Atlanta, GA. The pool is in sunlight for only a few hours a day, from noon until around 5:00 PM. More shade in the winter as the sun is lower, but that's of little consequence when it comes to water temperature. Last year, I actually seriously regretted putting in a pool where I put it, because it was COLD. The pool has a 406k BTU gas heater, and we were only able to swim throughout the year with only enormous amount of gas use. Even in mid-August with temps consistently above 90, did the pool temp reach 80 degrees unheated, never warmer unless I ran the gas heater. I'm completely satisfied with 78+ degrees, as are my children, but my wife and other friends consistently complained that it was too cold. Therefore, we used the heater for hours prior to every swim, which was not only expensive, but inconvenient to plan to turn on the heat in advance of swimming, so we really didn't use the pool a fraction of what I had anticipated. I installed four of these panels (two purchases with two per purchase) onto the sunroom roof nearest the pool equipment. At less than 100 square feet of panels, this is less than half of the recommendation that you do at least half of your pool surface square footage. My pool is 550 sqft, so I would have needed 10 or 12 panels to reach the recommendation, but my only option would have been to go a storey higher to the top of the house, and that would have been 24 feet of lift for the pump and I didn't foresee that working well. The results - my pool has been 82+ since mid-April. We were swimming in mid-March (sans wife) in 72 degree water, where last year the pool was still in the 50s at that time. Today's high was 76 degrees and the pool is 83, uncovered. The gas heater has been used three times total this year, and that was just to bump the temp up to 84 for a few pool parties ("playdates") following several days of rain and overcast skies. Even after our pool is in shade in the evening, the roof is exposed to full sun, and it is noticeable that the water entering the pool is significantly warmer than the pool water. On a couple of early May days when the air temp was in the upper 80s, the pool water reached 85 and I actually shut down the flow to the solar collectors because the pool water was beginning to be less refreshing and a little too warm for swimming laps and vigorous horseplay. I can imagine that in the hot summer months, we'll be looking at a pool getting close to 88 degrees (that's a guess though, because evaporation will start to keep that at bay). In summary, because of this product, I have heard more "it's warm!" than "it's cold!" this year, and we are still in mid-May. It has been an unusually warm May here in Atlanta, but it's nowhere near as hot as the weather seen last July and August, and the pool water is at least 6-8 degrees warmer. Last May at this time, we still had unheated pool water below 70 degrees. I spent more on pipes and fittings and valves than on the actual panels, but that was with the expectation that these will not last more than a few years. To be honest, if they needed replacement every year, it would still be well worth it, because I have already saved on my gas bill more than the upfront cost of the panels. I installed a Heyward automated valve actuator that can be set to the desired pool temperature. I have not wired the actuator in yet, but that will be necessary as it gets hotter and my pool will eventually get to be too warm - a concept that was completely foreign to us last year. In all honesty, I'm disappointed that my pool builder talked me out of solar and into purchasing the gas heater. My end result is that my pool is dual heated, which is great for cloudy Spring days, but when the gas heater needs replacement, I'll probably test out a year without it, with only solar. Apologies for the rambling review, but I cannot say enough that this setup has completely transformed our swimming experience from everyone avoiding the pool and it just being eye candy in the yard, to something we use every single day. Oh, and on pool covers. I bought a bubble wrap style pool cover last year and never really saw much benefit from it. I've toyed with it this year and I just don't see the point. On a day when the pool gets up to 83, I've covered it overnight and the water was 80 the next morning. The next day, under the exact daily highs and lows, I let the pool get up to 83 during the day and I left it uncovered. 80 the next morning. So save your money on the cover and get solar heat! ... show more
