## Description

Smartpool S601P SunHeater Solar Heating System for In Ground Pool

Review: Great invention, good product- Great Company - OK, here is a great invention with a product handled by a terrific company. Smart Pool. THE FACTS: I live in Miami Florida and yes it is hot here in the summer however my pool has a lot of landscape and palms around it which provides shade to about 2/3 of the pool so my pool water rarely gets to the desirable temperature it normally stays between 82 to 85 in the summer while the temperature outside is 91 to 95. we like the water in between 88 and 90 especially those days when we use it in the evening and into the night. THE PROCESS: My pool holds about 12,000 gals of water so as per their chart I needed two boxes (4 panels) but I went ahead and ordered 3 boxes (6 panels). I installed it myself with the help of my two sons and took us a few hours. I ran the piping myself as well. at the first try it didn't work - there was too much pressure on the pump and there was not enough flow to run the jets so I contacted the Company directly (Smart pool) and this is the part that gets really good. THE COMPANY: Their customer service was great; it exceeded my expectations. They took all the necessary time on the phone to review the installation I had done, the layout, etc. we even traded pictures over the email so they consulted with their experts and came back with recommendations including changing the configuration of the piping connecting to the pool pump and worked with me all the way through until it was resolved. Kudos to this company for their superb Customer Service. THE PRODUCT: I am Completely satisfied with this product. it is a great invention and works well - easy to install. I was expecting to raise the temperature of my pool water by 4 to 5 degrees and to my surprise it went from 86 to 93 by the the second day. I hope I can extend my summer a month or two here in Florida with this Sunheater. BTW: the water stays warm at night as well it only cools down 1 to 2 degrees through the night. We are enjoying it!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I have a 12.5' x 22' inground pool and i live in florida.  any idea of how many boxes i should order?   thanks**
A: I would not go with less than 4 panels.  You should base the number of panels on the sf of your pools surface and the amount of sun the panels will receive. I recall reading somewhere that the surface of the panels should be no less than 60% of your pool surface if you want to gain any advantage by using solar. On a pool your size, with the panels in the sun, in Florida, four panels would give you a long swimming season.  While I'm too cheap to use an automatic temperature valve for the panels, you may want to consider it.  I believe building code requires some sort of safety device that will prevent scalding. I learned the hard way that if you turn the panels on late in the day that water coming out of your supply line will be hotter than McDonalds coffee. I live in SW Florida.

**Q: Is this for in-ground or above-ground pools? The item title says in-ground but the box in the photo says above-ground.  (My pool is above-ground.)**
A: I use it for an in ground pool and works perfect. It will also work for an above ground pool if you have the proper piping.All it does is, that the same pool pump you have runs the water through the panels before going back into the pool

**Q: If a leak forms can it be patched?? If so what is needed??**
A: Depends on where the leak is. If it is in a tube yes. The mfg has a kit I believe.

**Q: How do i properly adjust valves to get best operation of these panels**
A: I just connected system to discharge line (2") to pool as source and then returned to same discharge line as return from sun exposure.  Also included a 1/2" pipe at top of return end of system with a valve on it to allow for release of air which in fact takes time to push through.

I installed 8 2’ panels on 2/12 pitched roof in pacific north west(Vancouver b.c. / Seattle Washington. On 3 of our summer days(approx 75degrees) raised 16x32’ pool to 88 degree from 73 defrees Like everything, quality of product isn’t as good as old ones from 15 years ago, but so far so good.
