The product seemed to be what I excepted except it is in 4 non-connected strips only attached at the ends (headers). Probably be fine to install on a roof but no good way to install vertical. It must have some sort of backing completely behind it for support.

Three leaks after 3 years, all at pipe joints. Not consumer repairable. Try another product

This was not a plug-n-play as I expected. I was replacing my older (different brand) panels with the higher rated/reviewed Doheny’s. They do seem more robust but the size was not exact. My old panels were 2×10 and these were listed as 2×10 panels. It is actually 1 1×10 panels. No problem right..?.. wrong because there is a connector between each set. Therefore where I could fit 2 – 2ft panels, I could now only fit 3 – 1ft panels. Another FYI, the piping is all 1 1/4″ connection where as all of my piping is 1 1/2″. Not a big deal, just need a few other plumbing items from the local Home Depot. This system will demand a bit more from your motor, probably reflected in my next power bill but definitely worth it.
Besides this, they work as advertised. The water coming through the jets was definitely warmer to the touch – I think I gained 5 degrees and had the panels on for 3 hours. If I left the system running all day, I’m sure I could get 10 degrees.

I liked the whole concept of the solar heater…I should have heeded to the reviews saying hard to find connectors…I disliked that after 2.5 months of trying to find the proper hoses and connectors still could not find the correct anything…requested to return it and all I got is that I can’t return it because it was out of the 30 day return policy. So now I am stuck with a useless solar heater that I can’t get hooked up to my filter. Totally unsatisfied!!

It works so good I turn it off when water hits 85! I live near Boston so this is great.
You might wonder how did I turn off? I bought some “Y” ball valves and a small hose. so I can just rotate valve to straight return and bypass solar. (I did mark which way to turn Solar/return).
Make sure in fall you really drain water left inside will expand and crack resulting in leak.
I used a “C” clamp to compress 90 then I easily rotated to lock fitting onto panel.
This is my second as I did not drain and had leaks now I know better.

Looks very sturdy, not used yet as season has not started. Needs 2 people to mount. You need double the mounting brackets that you think you would need, as each section is two sections and each section needs their own brackets as they sag if not. So, you need 4 sets of mounting brackets to make it work well.

This solar heater is a good value for the money. It reliably raises the temp of our pool by 7-10 degrees on sunny days. We did have to purchase additional tubing and attachments to make sure the solar panels can be in the sun. Also, we chose to stretch it on the grass and we have to move it at least every other day or it burns the grass. Overall, glad we bought it.

Let me explain the four star review, as the product does work as advertised. I’ve very happy with how it helps keep the water temperature up. When it’s hot outside, it can raise the temperature of the pool 3 or 4 degrees. The reason for the less than five star review is that I was rather surprised at how the panels are actually put together. When you get the box, you’ll find the tubes rolled up and not something you could keep remotely flat. You have to build your own ramp, and while we anticipated this, the size in the picture looks a lot smaller than what you actually get. Our ramp ended up being over 6 feet tall and 11 feet wide. I guess I had assumed that based on the picture, they were going to arrive and be panel-ish, and not just molded plastic tubing rolled up. I’m pretty handy when it comes to woodwork, but my ramp was no where near as clean looking as the photo. Luckily we can keep in an area that is not in full view. While not an eye sore exactly, it certainly isn’t pretty.
