It's doing the trick, May 28, 2010
By ohdon from Buffalo, New York

Pros: It does heat up the pool 5-10 degrees
Cons: Panels are more fragile than stated

"I bought the deluxe system in the spring of 2009. Connected to pool according to the directions. No heat coming out. I then noticed that one panel did not have an "integrated disk" in the tube which diverts the water through the panels. As the manual states, "An integrated disc at the mid-point within the “Inlet/Oulet” header automatically diverts the right amount of flow through the solar panel." I called the Sungrabber tech support and they said to just connect the panels in series instead as per the directions. I'm thinking that I should just send the panels back, but thats a pain and a big box to deal with. So now the water is forced in through one whole panel and back out through the other. It should go in and out of each panel individually. But, it works fine with this set up. I have a two speed pump so I just run it on low all the time. Its just the right pressure. I also got the bypass connection kit. This spring I hooked it up and found I sprung a leak in one of the panels. It looks like something scratched it accross 3-4 tubes. I would order the repair kit with it. If you already have it, then hopefully you will not need it."

Works great but only for 1 season, May 3, 2010
By coldbones from Norfolk, VA

Pros: warmed pool nicely
Cons: panels fragile, kit incomplete

"The first season I bought the deluxe kit and hooked up what I could (2 out of 3 panels) with what was provided. I had it on the ground to begin with. It worked very well, warmed the pool nicely. Tried to store the panels over the winter and they all cracked, so I bought a new set. Drained and stored them flat, but they still did not make it through the winter. I am looking for an alternative product this year, as I have bought two of these so far, and they really are quite ugly. I did set these up with minimal help from one other person, but it was time consuming, and there wasn't enough hardware or hose to do the job."

Incomplete, April 12, 2010
By NewMexican

Pros: Should work fine once its complete
Cons: Incomplete

"I ordered a 3 panel system, with bypass valve, and mounting kit.

I am short one hose to complete the assembly, and the mounting kit is only straps and screws, no framework I'm a bit disapointed in the completeness of the kit."

It Works!, August 3, 2009
By debbyks007 from Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin

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!"
