    • It works!
Size: Papa Bear
Product came in a timely manner undamaged. Install wasnt to bad ended up putting on my garage roof (which is not recommended). It Ended up raising my pool 10°f after a few days running. I would recommend buying several to make a difference.

    • Edit - The pool feel pretty good
Size: Papa Bear
Edit - Took much longer than I expected but the water has been consistently swimmable. No longer cold in the pool. That being said I thought two of the 24 foot ones would make my pool warmer than it is, but I'm more optimistic that it might actually get to that point. I can't complain too much. That being said the instructions recommend using flexible pool hose. I personally suggest going straight to rigid PVC. Original review - I bought 2 of the 24 foot long solar pool heaters to heat my 16 by 32 above ground pool. I built a rig to tilt the panels 30 degrees off the ground and my panels are pointed south west. I even have a solar pool cover that I use to make sure the heat doesn't escape through evaporation or from wind. According to everything I have read, 1 heater panel this size should raise the pool 5-10 degrees a day, but the pool is still freezing cold even after several high heat, clear sky, high UV index days. I was hoping buying two would mean it would raise the pool temp 10-20 degrees a day. I would be happy if the 2 panels together raised the pool only 5 degrees a day, but the pool has not increase more than 5 degrees over the course of 7 days. I'm going to keep trying to make it work, but as of right now, seems like an amazing waste of nearly $700. Next, the installation instructions are pretty bad. ... show more

Update: we turn heater on around 10am ET and turn off around 7pm ET. Exceptions are cloudy or rainy days. Using this in conjunction with our solar cover has provided a consistent 5-10 degree increase. Although the longer it goes when off, the cooler water gets and longer takes to heat back up. Time will tell if this will be useful in allowing to open early or keep open longer when temps do not average 90 daily. So far, so good and it a reasonable option for those of us not wanting to spend a lot on an electric, propane or nat gas one. We mistakenly thought the inlet and outlet could go either direction. Absolutely not the case. Instructions do say to have the inlet at the bottom. Cannot figure out logically why, but after installing it with the inlet up and getting no warmer water after a week, I read the instructions again and (insert facepalm). So, total install was closer to 5 hours for us after building a frame, first pipe install, removing pipes, flipping heater over and reinstalling pipes. Too soon to tell if will warm water up. Will update after about another week. The mat needs enough room. It's 24ft long, after all. And it won't work unless in sun, preferably all day sun. If is a cloudy day it won't work that well. We have a lot of trees so the sun doesn't hit it until around 10-11am but stays on it all day. We also have a solar cover to help keep warmer water in. ... show more

    • Set up correctly it is outstanding!

It is very flexible and must be fully supported. I have very limited space so I worked out a rack system that points it right at the sun. We are in SW Florida and the pool is at 86-88 most afternoons. We keep a solar cover on at night too. The highs are around 80 right now so we are very pleased. 18' above ground pool. The trick to the rack is the bottom shelf and the straps have to come behind the shelf. It has to lay flat and tha ratchet straps are very tight. They don't even touch it much. ... show more

    • Wow I was shocked
Size: Papa Bear
Seen someone recommended this in a pool group so I checked reviews and they were better than any of the other solar heaters I have seen so I said why not. I had to go buy new lines for it that were longer but quickly was able to set up. I live in northeast Ohio and this definitely makes my pool warmer. On a hot sunny day you can feel the hot water returning to the pool. It usually takes a lot of sun for several months to even get near 85 degree water but I have been there for weeks. Warmest so far was 87. I can't vouch for how long it will last but I definitely recommend this ... show more

    • It works beautifully on a 13,000 gallon pool!

Review Image by Jim and Laura Jim and Laura
We purchased a house with a 13,000 gallon pool already installed with an under-sized solar heater - and we didn't use it the first year because the water was too cold (location is Colorado). This season, we installed the Fafco heater, and the water was comfortable after just two sunny days! It's a solid 10-15 degrees warmer than last year and is now used daily. The heater was easy to set up, and probably earns 5 stars. However, I chose to give 4 stars because I feel they should offer a stand for just a few dollars more. Without a stand, we had to improvise. We didn't want the stand to be bulky like some of the others pictured in Amazon, because we want to store stacked in our garage during winter, so our teenager built the stand in the pictures. The stand is made of three 4'x8' wood sheets. Each sheet has 5 legs made of 2x4's placed in the corners and the middle. (staggered so they stack) Used long wood screws. The upper legs are 12 inches, middle leg 10 inches, and bottom legs 8 inches to give a slight angle. We didn't bother tying the heater down since the pipes basically hook on either side of the panel. Again, the heater works great! We would just like to see a non-bulky stand as an option. ... show more
