It works! However, you'll most likely need more than one. We have a small inflatable hut tub, about 200-250 gallons. One panel warmed it, but very slowly, like maybe 1-2 degrees and hour. We added a send panel and it made a big difference. I am only using a small "solar pump" from Amazon, so it doesn't make a lot of flow volume. But i think that is better because the water stays in the solar heating panel longer and should get warmer than if it went through quickly. Bottom line is that these do work, so I am happy. Hopefully they last though. We'll see on that.

Long review. Do the mats work? Yes and No! Do the mats leak? Yes and No! Do YOU own a pump large enough to consider? According to Intex whom I called myself. These mats are supposed to work with multiple pumps they sell. They did not lie when it came to the fact that it did move the water through the mats. However, when I questioned the minimum spec amount for the pump that would proficiently work for me. They would not give me a direct answer. What I have found is they will not do this for many of the products they sell. So what's left is a handful of poor reviews/videos to go along with many items they sell. I have watched several YouTube videos of people that have been able to get these mats to work but they are also running a second pump to these mats. So if you don't mind additional hoses with clutter and dead grass. ( Many may have parts/pumps laying around as some due from previous pool purchases ). Then by all means. However, if you intend to keep a neat, clean and orderly backyard this summer. One without all the clutter and additional electrical wires, pumps and hoses. Then this is not the route to go. So after I was able to play around with the piping to get it to stop leaking. ( A lot has to do with the black O-ring gaskets ). If you try to push the hose onto the mat pipe without first lubing the pipe. There is a good chance that you will push the O-ring gasket out of its Groove. ( Main cause of leaks I have found so far and reviewers ). So now the leaking has stopped. On to the next issue. NEEDING A BIGGER PUMP. The representative form intex suggested I run the pump for up to an hour just to make sure all the air was out of the mats system. When running it as it was suggested with just the B side ( heat side ) the pump lasted 20 or 30 minutes before it overheated and died. ( At this time I did not even have the pool skimmer connected to it just the two mats ). The mats have an A side and a B-side. A side is direct current from the intake to the pump. B-side is utilizing the mat itself and the heating channels. Running the B-side alone suffocated the pump causing it to overheat. Now running just the A side. ( Even with/out connecting the skimmer ). It still wasn't enough suction. ( Skimmer still wouldn't function correctly ). So I opened A&B at which point I finally received water moving through my system. ( However, with skimmer connected ). I still had no upper movement from the skimmer. My pool is one that has the dual intake. I even disconnected one intake. Plugging it and removing the additional hose lines as I was asked to do so by the representative. This didn't make much difference at all. However, the representative still swears up and down that it works. Again it works in regards as to it does move some water but nothing else will function properly. I opened it up to the B-side itself and moved the warm water. Within 20-30 minutes the pump overheated and died. The purpose of the mats obviously is to intake water. Heat the water up and then filter it back into the pool in a circulation. So of course you're going to want to run this for several minutes before entering. Not just two to five minutes. The mats obviously aren't large enough to hold a massive amount of water that two or three minutes is enough to knock the chill down. However, running only 20 to 30 minutes and having the mats overheat the pump and kill the pump. Is not proficient at all. Especially when Intex told me let it run for an hour. Now again I am only running a thousand gallon pump. A pump Intex themselves swears runs the system. ( It does move water from one end to other ) As for running the system proficiently. This it does not. I also hooked a skimmer sold by Intex. An accessory they have told me will work with my layout. It does work. It pulls water in from the lower half but as for it skimming the surface there is just not enough pump suction. I also have tried closing one intake valve as it was suggested I do by the representative. Some reviews reading this will say that's too much to run accessory wise on such a small pump. ( This is how I feel as well ). However, it's a pump that Intex says should be running the system absolutely proficiently well. As for questioning customer service and asking them the required specs to run the system proficiently they would just tell me what I have is fine. My neighbors statue that urinates has more flow. I'm also running not one but two mats which also was recommend by Intex. I have placed an ordered for a larger sand filter pump. Upon arrival and testing. My rating and post may or may not change. Their customer service by far is the worst of all companies I've had to deal with. Buyer beware if you do not save your tracking email they will not honor any of the their warranties. And what I mean by tracking email is the actual tracking email not the order receipt email. So if you do buy an accessory from them or a pump that has a one or two year warranty. Remember at all cost to save the tracking email if ordering through Amazon. My understanding is if you do not order from them directly one will need a tracking receipt. On the bright side. With mats only being $13 dollars apiece through Amazon. I've seen them listed anywhere from $32 a mat to $60 dollars. It may be well worth buying one or two for parts. If anyone has priced out clamps for hoses especially the converter adapters to connect a larger pump to a smaller pool. They run high in price. Example, it's $25 and up just for a pair of adapters to go from a small pump to a large pump then to the pool. Included was one such adapter in the Box. So if you need two or more of these adapters. And you can catch the mats at 13 apiece or lower. It's almost like getting the mats for free along with additional clamps, hoses and accessories. So I'm still hoping for the mats to work for me with a larger filter and pump this summer. I will be bummed if they don't. However, getting additional parts that can always be used ( from what I'm learning from this company NEEDED ). I'm basically getting the mats and some parts for free. It's well worth the Gamble. So after getting larger filter I still had very little luck. I could only imagine six to eight of these hooked together. You kill you pump!

If you’re considering buying this product, do it! This is our second season using these Intel solar pool heater and I highly recommend. It heats our pool 15 degrees warmer, and that’s with two of them. We have a 15’ x 42” and it holds 4000 gallons of water. They were super easy to install, and the quality and function is top notch. They have held up amazingly in the outside elements. Absolutely zero leaks. They were rather inexpensive for both of them.

Well I have to say I was disappointed. There’s a lot more to it than what was explained. You have to buy a lot more different things to pour it to work so I haven’t even used it. It’s very complicated and it is not very clear at the beginning so I ended up spending money on it and not being able to use it.

Hooked up 2 in series and got my 14 ft diameter pool to 90 degrees in 2 days...works well...would have given 5 stars but provides hoses we too short and leaks at connections... some hose and a few clamps and all was good...super satisfies with results.

First off I love the idea and they work great for the time that they worked. which was not very long. the bottom ripped at the seam in two of them. You should think about replacing the thumb screw hose clamps with stainless steel ones. the thumb screw ones do not hold and leak. 2 blew right off the end if you have a low pressure pump it will Probably do a little better but may not push it all the way through the matts. mines the one that came with the pool and is a 50lb sand filter. I bought four of these and within the first hour one of the four blew the bladder right down one of the seams. So I took it out of the equation and hooked the other ones back in line everything was going fine for several hours. I left and came back to my pool a foot down in depth. I found another seam blown on the bottom of another, about a half inch tare. Sad as i had to fill the water back up and lost a great sunny day. So now I have two left and a 10 foot hard plastic solar array which seems to work very well. I’m worried about putting the other bladder in for fear they’ll break as well. the problem is they were doing an awesome job the temperature was up 4 degrees in the two hrs they were working. The pool is 8000 gallons

I had high hopes for these mats. They heated the water quickly and helped warm the pool. However 5 days after hooking these up one split and started to leak. After removing it the other one did the same a couple days later. I ended up just going back to the black coiled hose attached to the pump.
