My friend and I started super early in the morning and was completed by late afternoon. Not too hard. I have a 20,000-gallon pool. The roof pictured gets full sun in the summer from only 11 to 4. My pool is the same. Before the installation, the temperature in my pool was a constant 74-76 degrees "in the hot summer" so quite cold. I used just 4 panels for this project. The company recommended 6. After the installation, the temperature rose to 85-88 degrees! so what a treat. My tip to anyone is to wait until the panels get hot. You will notice that this as they will buckle upward. Adjust the water flow accordingly and foala! So far a great quality product with no leaks.

First set arrived in a severely beat up box and when we opened there were obvious defects in the panels. We didn't even unwrap. Had a replacement sent. Box wasn't as beat up but same thing with the panels. Visually you can see major defects in the channels. No way water would flow through correctly and not leak so we didn't even open and unwrap. We then had to figure out how load these two heavy large boxes into our vehicle and get them to Canada Post to return. What a huge hassle from start to finish.

I installed 8 2’ panels on 2/12 pitched roof in pacific north west(Vancouver b.c. / Seattle Washington. On 3 of our summer days(approx 75degrees) raised 16x32’ pool to 88 degree from 73 defrees Like everything, quality of product isn’t as good as old ones from 15 years ago, but so far so good.

Great solar heating panels, the water temperature increase to a comfortable level. I had 4 of them for many Years and ruined them by not removing them for winter time last Year (Canadian winter). Ordered an other 4 in March and had to wait until June to install the panels (Night frost warning). To my big surprice, 2 of the 4 panels were leaking, one like a sprinkler, the other not that bad, just were the smale tubes got melted to the feeding tube. Sent an email with pictures and purches invoice as requested and waiting now for a responce.

We live in central Indiana and purchased 2 sets of these solar panels when we installed our 30 foot semi in ground pool 3 years ago. My husband said install was easy and put them on the roof of our garage (which is in the sun the entire day). We turn them on every morning (if the sun is out and it’s decently warm) and turn them back off at night. Our pool is in the sun until around 3pm, then in the shade the rest of the evening. In combination of using a solar blanket at night and running the solar panels, it keeps our pool anywhere from 86-90 degrees all summer long. Sometimes it will even get up to 91-92 degrees in crazy hot weather so we just shut it off. We absolutely love these panels and wouldn’t get near as much use out of the pool if they weren’t there.The only downfall is once it starts cooling way down at night and only in the 70s during the day they don’t heat the pool up near as much. It definitively helps us swim longer each season but not as long as an actual heater so keep that in mind. Either way they’re still amazing and no extra cost on our electric bill! You won’t be disappointed you ordered them!

Works fairly well, connected a rainbird thermostat set to 85, a motorized 3 way valve with Y return so when the sun hits my roof mid day, panels turn on and take my pool an extra few 5 or so degrees. Panels were also on for half price when I bought them.

OK, here is a great invention with a product handled by a terrific company. Smart Pool.THE FACTS: I live in Miami Florida and yes it is hot here in the summer however my pool has a lot of landscape and palms around it which provides shade to about 2/3 of the pool so my pool water rarely gets to the desirable temperature it normally stays between 82 to 85 in the summer while the temperature outside is 91 to 95. we like the water in between 88 and 90 especially those days when we use it in the evening and into the night.THE PROCESS: My pool holds about 12,000 gals of water so as per their chart I needed two boxes (4 panels) but I went ahead and ordered 3 boxes (6 panels). I installed it myself with the help of my two sons and took us a few hours. I ran the piping myself as well. at the first try it didn't work - there was too much pressure on the pump and there was not enough flow to run the jets so I contacted the Company directly (Smart pool) and this is the part that gets really good.THE COMPANY: Their customer service was great; it exceeded my expectations. They took all the necessary time on the phone to review the installation I had done, the layout, etc. we even traded pictures over the email so they consulted with their experts and came back with recommendations including changing the configuration of the piping connecting to the pool pump and worked with me all the way through until it was resolved. Kudos to this company for their superb Customer Service.THE PRODUCT: I am Completely satisfied with this product. it is a great invention and works well - easy to install. I was expecting to raise the temperature of my pool water by 4 to 5 degrees and to my surprise it went from 86 to 93 by the the second day. I hope I can extend my summer a month or two here in Florida with this Sunheater. BTW: the water stays warm at night as well it only cools down 1 to 2 degrees through the night.We are enjoying it!

We have an 18'x36', 26,000 gallon inground pool so we bought the recommended 3 boxes of these solar panels (which is actually 6x20' long panels). We had just enough room to install them on our south facing roof slope by the pool. We live right near the NY/Canada borderline so we really wanted to extend our swimming season as long as possible. This is our first good warm, sunny day (77 degrees) with them hooked up and the pool went from 70 degrees this morning to 77 degrees by sundown. Without these panels we might have achieved a maximum of 72 or 73 degrees. A friend nearby has a similar set-up and says his pool stays in the mid-80s from May-Oct, and sometimes swimming in April.On the recommendation of other reviewers, we didn't bother buying the installation kit and instead bought our own connectors, hoses and clamps at the local Home Depot.We also bought the Hayward 3-way automated actuator which (using sensors in the water lines) will automatically feed the warm solar-heated water to the pool whenever that water is warmer than the pool, and then turn off to just circulate the pool water at night or on cooler days. On start-up, everything is working great and I must say I'm impressed so far, but I'll update our review in a few weeks after a longer period of evaluation.
