@RocketMaker10000 Nice. I’ll check out the other vids now.

@odius94 It has a timer that can be programmed to run day or night. I run it during the day because that is when I have the most people in the pool. Plus my electric company doesn’t give any discounts whether I run it at night or during the day. They used to offer better deals at night. Since they don’t do that anymore why bother running it at night. I recently put in a new liner. See my other videos and the water that was delivered was 58 degrees. Got it up to 80 in 6 days with it.

Is your filter programmed to run at certain times during the day? I ask because if the filter runs at night and the valves to the solar system are left on it will act like a radiator and release the heat into the atmosphere. Just a thought.

@MrCoryjohnson1 I don’t think the pool will look as nice with a black bottom. It looks really nice as is so I don’t really want to have the pool black. I have a solar cover and the solar heater here and I can usually raise the pool temp pretty fast provided the outside air at night doesn’t pull it way down.

if you put somthing black on the bottom of your pool it will help to absorb heat and warm your pool.

@MrEcunningham I don’t feel like having a bunch of other pipes in and out of the pool so I will use what is already available. The pump runs fine with this Solar heater but right now I am measuring it for a new liner.

what if you coil up regular garden hoses and place them on your roof and buy a regular utility pump nothing big theyre bout 99 dollars USD then you dont need to use the pool’s pump at all

@MrEcunningham

Good point but it would block the view out to the yard. The liner ripped over the winter so the pool is actually empty now and I am measuring for a new liner and I am going to make some video of the project to post on Youtube. Stay tuned.

If you put the hoses tighter together they will in turn keep each other heated so instead of having a huge gap in between each hose keep them closer together and they will heat the pool even more efficiently
