4721-BB SolarPRO Curve Solar Pool Heater, Made for Intex & Bestway Above-Ground and Inground Pools, Includes Intex Adapters, 2 Hoses & Clamps

I bought this solar panel for a above ground 15 ft round pool. This thing has been great! After 1 day it was keeping the pool at 82 and by day 4 the pool was up to near 90! I will say that if you want to keep that heat though, you must have a solar cover so that your heat doesn't dissipate to badly at night. The last two days, we have had very little sun and cooler temps in low 70's and the pool was still sitting between 80 and 82. Our pump is also less than 1hp so the water flows through it at a pretty decent rate and still warms up nicely as it goes through the coils. Some things to note though The hoses are not long at all, so if the panel needs to be placed somewhere away from the pump in order to get full sun, you will need to buy longer hoses. We have an Intex sand filter and had to get creative at the local big box home improvement store to make adapters to accommodate longer hoses. No stars dinged for that though, because if you just used everything that came with it and you are able to put it right near the pump, you wouldn't have to do anything special. Mentioning this though because many people will be at the mercy of where the sun shines and you will most likely need longer hoses. Did I mention the sun.. because you will need full sun for the better part of the day if you want to see those pool temps rise. If your panel is only getting sun for a couple hours, your going to have a bad time. Our panel gets a full 8 hours of sun where it sits and our pump runs 6 to 8 hours during that time. Partly sunny days keep it at 82 to 86, full sun days get's our pool near 90, and cloudy days it can drop to 80 if overcast conditions last a few days. If you have a bigger pool, invest in more than one of these. One of these heats our 15 ft pool nicely, but I would think that if you have something bigger than a 18 ft or even a oval pool, 2 would be your best option. The longer the water stays in the coils, the more it will heat your pool. I know I mentioned it up top but it is worth mentioning again, you need to have a solar cover. A solar cover is not just for helping heat your pool, it's best use is for keeping that hard earned solar heated warmth in at night. You can easily lose like 5 degrees of heat at night without a cover. If you have this panel and it never seems to get warm or stay warm and you don't have a good solar cover, that's not the panel's fault... that is your fault for letting all that wonderful heat escape into the night. Overall, this panel delivers as long as you do your part to make sure it can do it's job.

I purchased a solar panel two years ago and one leg broke off within a month. Month later the other broke so I had to set three bricks underneath to prop it up. Also had two major leaks underneath in the second year. Purchased a brand new one this year and the legs lasted one week. Both broke. This issue is that the legs are made of cheap aluminum. When the panel sets up, the legs are on a slant towards the read of the panel. The weight of the water forces the legs out even further and the legs just bend and snap off. There is a lot of water weight that runs through the tubes that are supported by the legs and the legs can withhold the weight. As far as the item working, yes, it works great. It does what it is supposed to do. I just wouldn't buy another until they fix the issue with the legs always breaking off. It has a 90 day warranty so I am going to test it out. UPDATE: Submitted a claim and never heard back. Wouldn't recommend purchasing from this company.

I love this thing!!! I have a 10 x 18 Intex oval above ground pool that my wife bought last summer with a saltwater chlorinate system. Last year it was very brisk to get into, you almost got use to it after a few but it was cold. I had to get something to heat it up this year and ordered this Game SolarPRO Curve. The pool has two water draw ports for the pump and one output to the pool. I hooked up the heater between the end draw port of the pool and the splitter that connects the two draw lines. This made it so only half the recerculation water is passing through the heater. My yard is very shady and it only gets sun for about 5 to 6 hours a day. This year I also bought a pool thermometer to see how cold it was. After filling, the pool was about 70 degrees, after a week and a half the pool is up to 80 degrees. I have the filter pump on a timer to start running at 7:30 in the morning and shut off at 6:30 in the afternoon. I had to get a couple of hose clamps to make it work and it has a small leak (maybe a cup a day) that needs to be fixed between the Intex hose and the Game hose. I am planning on putting a sleeve in the line so I can tighten the hose clamp down better. The only criticism I have for this is, they could give better instructions and parts to make it work for the most common pools. To make this work for My pool it took two hose clamps and a hard plastic 1 1/4" sleeve that were not in the box, and some thinking. One other thing that would make this product perfect is a bleed off valve at the top so there are no air pockets trapped in the heater that could cause blockages. I just had to tip it back and forth to get all the air out.

I purchased two of these qand set them up in series on my 20,000 gallon in ground pool, running off of the main pump through the water feature. The output was quite warm but not sufficient in volume to increase trhe temperature of the pool very much. As I increased the flow, the output temparature dropped, because the water didn'[t spend enough time in the heater. I was able to use the pool about 10 days longer than usual in the autumn. The original fittings that came with the pool did not fit correctly. The company supplied correct ones immediately. I would recommend this item for smaller, above-ground pools. Noter: The price of this item seems very erratic.

The product occasionally warms the pool by 3-5°, but getting it to work feels like pulling teeth. One day I found the unit collapsed in my backyard-the legs had completely broken off. The build quality is clearly flimsy and unreliable. To make matters worse, I received a $50 customs charge from FedEx, even though I ordered through Amazon Prime. Apparently it shipped from Canada, but that wasn't disclosed during checkout. I was led to believe shipping was covered, and there was no mention of international fees. Overall, the heater is cheaply made, not very effective, and surprisingly expensive. Would not recommend.

It was difficult to get the small leaks to stop but easy to install and maintain. Love it

Aucune différence pour la température de l’eau même en plein soleil toute la journée

truly surprised at how well this works! We started with cold water 60 degrees F. after 5 days the temp reads 76!! I do have a solar blanket that works quite well but it would have taken a few weeks to get the temp to 76 with the blanket alone. The other benefit is that this heater heats ALL the water not just the top few inches like the solar blanket does. Highly recommend this product. My only negative point is that the hoses that it came with are absurdly short... you will need longer for sure, the longer the better so it can be moved to take advantage of the sun throughout the day.

Panel is ok quality. It does heat up your pool water if you have multiple panels, but the leg supports are very weak. Bought 4 panels after one month one panel brooke one leg support. And the panel hose conectors are thin plastic. Very flimsy.

Parfait pour petit format de piscine
