Pros: Doesn't cost you anything after initial purchase
Cons: No Sun = No Heat
"We purchased the deluxe package with 2 solar panels. We attached them to existing lattice panels on the deck so they would get more direct sun. After a week of gloominess & rain, the sun finally came out. Within 2 days the water temp was up to 78* from the 70ish that it had been. It did take 4 adults many hours (and 2 trips to Menards) to assemble & hook everything up, but it was well worth it!"

Pros: free heat, cheaper than gas heater and dont have to pay for gas.
Cons: unheats in rain,have to build a rack to put them on
"Got 4 pannels for my inground pool, used above ground pannels due to space restictions around pool and no south faceing roof near pool. built a rack onto wood pool fence to lay pannels out off the ground.the rabbits around here like to chew on plastic. best not to lay on ground anyway the ground is prity cool it would suck the heat out as fast as the sun puts it in.had to install a three way valve in discharge of pump, pannels cant handel that much water flow. anyway they work great, 18000 gal. inground pool is at 85* in about two days.it rained the next day lost 5* cold rain will cool the water.so I bypass the pannels on rain days, the heat stays in with pool cover.maintains a constant temp now.I will likely get a solar controler so i dont have to bother with rain days.would be nice if they sold an erector set rack to mount them on, it would look nicer.something like the picture maybe?"

Pros: Efficient product & easy installation.
Cons: None-to-date
"We purchased two solar panels for our above ground pool. The weather has not been cooperative due to the extreme rainfall this year. The past few days it has been sunny and the pool has heated to 84 degrees. This water temp is only with a few sunny days. If the weather does cooperate, we assume our pool will be much warmer, but 84 is pretty good. We always purchase products from In the Swim due to their performance and outstanding customer service. No one beats their service in our opinion. Thank you."
