Customer most helpful reviews 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Solar heat to above ground pool for eReader1 bought two of these panels to the pool 24 meters around the first year heat, get off, but this year we mounted on the roof. Together with 24 Ft Round 8 Mil Standard Blue Solar Pool Cover and our bomb on a timer, we have a lovely warm pool water, about 80-83 degrees in mid-June, with air temps around the mid to high 70 (West PA). Without the solar water heaters, water temperature was in the low 70's. We wait for the water even hotter in the summer of center. We use a timer on the pump so the water flows through the heating during the warmer weather and brighter days, and solar pool cover keeps the hot water from evaporation during the cooler times of day. Disadvantages are just out the roof each winter for the snow comes. The system does not have a platform, so necessary to make one, lying on the floor or ceiling See all 1 customer reviews ....

Very helpful customer reviews 26 of 29 people found the following review helpful. All the talk about the actions of Jimmy Ray Purser We have used a liquid solar cover for a few years. We used ecosavr and liked it. I think they stopped making them because I can not get them. So I went with Turbo, and that is suck-o. First and foremost, do not the fish are not at the bottom of the pool. So I stuck in the skimmer. The instructions say it will decrease with time ... 5 hours later no luck. So I tied to the bottom of the ladder and the grommet ripped out ... and floated to the surface ... grrrrrr .... So when I re-read the instructions (I'm quite a doofus at times, so maybe I missed something) The instructions say if I shake the water will sink faster. So I have on my iPod in water (highly recommended, by the way) on "Hey Ya" (no wait ... its on my wife did not love me ... really ...) and I shake it like a Polaroid pictures. Tears as parachutes to 1500 "and disorder in liquid pool empty ... grrrr ... Needless to say, other Turbo will return today. One of the worst products I've seen since the Six Flags Bonzi Slide. Save your money and 'chemical balance of your pool and learn from my mistakes goober. Avoid the Turbo. 9 of 11 people found this review helpful. Works great. R. Adamson first heard about the end of last summer and used two for the rest of the season . A very well I think - hard to say how many times (or less often) the heater kicks, but seemed less Fish behaved as advertised, no problem it does, such as bathing in the skimmer, but once it sank remained low .. . 6 Purchase this summer, keep open a rest next year. 1 of 2 people found this review helpful. Turbo Solar Fish is great by Lynn Everhart This is my first year with turbo sun fish and I like it! Since there is no messing with the solar cover, I find that most people use the swimming pool and solar heated swimming pool better coverage. I have to reread the instructions, but I thought that the fish would sink slowly over 30 days, not immendiately sink. When it does sink, it is empty. We have linked to our scale, and it works fine.

Very helpful customer reviews 40 of 40 people found this review helpful. The best value in the soil pools of Al chipmunkav8r $[...] purchase including shipping. It was a little unsure until about the quality and durability at this price. It is now established and running and all my worries were unfounded. This is a pool design is relatively new and really cool. Installation is simple, clear instructions, no parts missing and fit and finish are excellent. It really exceeded my expectations with honesty. Best for families with children who want a very large pool very quickly, which will last for 5 to 10 years with proper care. All you need is included in this package and the pump, filter and chlorine generator is suitable for the size of the group. The entire pool is fitted without screws or bolts. You need to block the ground level for each section and it may take a couple hours to do. I would suggest two 2x6x16 "side by side tables instead of the patio blocks. Cheaper, more durable, easier to configure and easy on the retention of vinyl At this price, I'd be really surprised if anyone would be disappointed, unless you understand the different types of pools. I'm updating this review after owning the pool for two seasons. I noticed that people complain about the difficulty making the pool for the winter. The solution is not easy! There is no reason to take it down. Make sure that the valves and fittings reomoved side of the line, remove the caps inside (leave caps on exerior), and coverage. This drain the pool a few inches, but just fill in the spring. Wear whatever you think of saving it for the winter trearing is wrong. The pool can easily withstand the cold is closed as described above. It is much heavier on the liner and the frame to take it all with curious it out of context (the scratches and rust at the time) and can move it around, which helps prevent someone a lot of hard work and discouraging for hope not. I would also always recommend a sand filter for swimming. It will save much time and effort in cleaning. Another trick to inser t a "main drain" by a 3x3x2 or 3x3x1 1 / 2 "T PVC with PVC drain in each 3 'end and make a hoe barb into the hole. You can then enter the underwater shots and best for the opening of the pool. If it is clear that we remain well to the skimmer for the season. 31 of 32 customers found this review helpful. Wait until you try to take it down by Richard H. Gardner ... I bought this pool from Amazon in April. The pool is past the middle of July, and the kids loved it. I added a small deck on the one hand, a solar heating system, a reel to assist in removing the cover, solar pool cover, and finally have a propane stove to expand our pool season Previously we had an inflatable swimming ring we use for five years, my daughters have grown up with him. I was hoping for at least the same number of years to get out of the pool. Well, now the swimming season is over in my neck of the woods and its time to break Intex Ultra Frame pool. Everything goes well until I try to take the top frame rails of the liner. The vinyl window frames must be welded and will not budge. My wife and I spent a whole day attacking the lining by hand (usually) and any other tool I could think of to try to get the upper frame rails out. After struggling all day and left bloodied and blistered hands were able to get the best out of two side rails. At least we will be able to trim the door hit this winter. I called Intex to make them aware of this issue I have been told they were sorry, but the product bears only a 90-day guarantee. My guess is that a person who needs this pool for the winter break will run into the same problem.
