SunQuest Complete Pool Heater System - 10 (2ft x 10ft) Panels w/Bypass and Roof Kit - Solar Heater for Above Ground & Inground Swimming Pools - Tube on Web Design Panel-Polypropylene UV Resistant

First the bad news. The product arrived with some damage. I contacted the seller, they responded within minutes, and send a new panel to replace the damaged one. Absolutely no hassle. Stuff happens.The instructions were clear and easy to follow. I followed them, got the system running, and the next morning my pump wouldn't prime. I primed it manually, turned off the water to the panels, and it started. I contacted the company for assistance after trying a few trouble shooting options online. The tech support rep worked diligently with me, even responding on weekends and a holiday, to step by step track down the problem, which turned out to be a very small leak in a valve that was not part of the solar system. I felt that the level of knowledge and helpfulness was in the top tier of service I have ever received.The panels are working as intended! I would recommend this company highly!

I bought 6 panels of 2X12 and put them on the shed roof near the pool, which is in-ground and 20x40. It took a while to figure out the best way to install it, for it came with many optional parts depending on the setup. However once I figured it out, was pretty easy and the water temperature definitely started going up after just a couple days. I built a basic 2x4 wood frame for it to sit on, instead of sitting directly on the roof shingles. One complaint is their website which is not helpful at all and is a very generic website. The owners manual says you can register the product on the website but that proved to not be true. I had to fill out the paper form and mail it in. Oh, also the first time I turned it on, the one panel got disconnected after 5 minutes of use. I reconnected it with the provided clamps, turned it back on. 5 minutes later it happened again. I double checked everything to make sure I didnt screw something up, then turned it back on. 5 minutes later, popped off! Long story short, the PSI on my pump-filter was on 30, I made some adjustments and got it down to 20, and it then stopped disconnecting. The owners manual says it can handle up to 50 PSI but in my experience, not true.

Works great, picture above shows 77 water temp, 87 air temp, 104 return water temp. Only downside was I had to figure out myself how to connect it to the pool pump.

I purchased this 6 panel solar heating kit to help heat my in-ground pool. I realistically only got a little time to use it due to constantly battling leaks. The solar heaters themselves did not leak but the connections to each panel did. The hose and clamps provided just did not cut it and they constantly came apart and leaked. One day after emptying 1,000 gallons out of my pool due to a leak I decided to return them after less than a month. 2 reasons the leaking at the connections and the poor performance. Unless you have 10hrs a day of sun every single day you get little benefit in my option. Plus, you would need 10 of these panels for a 25K gallon pool (almost 2K in panels) So, the performance wasn’t up to par and not worth the money to me anymore. Buyer Caution: Return policy states “If you are not completely satisfied with your purchase, you may return it (in new/unused condition) for any reason within 30 days, for a refund of the purchase price of the product and sales tax, if applicable. It must be in its original box with contents complete, unused and in re-sell-able, as New condition or a 20% re-boxing, product verification & re-stocking fees may be applied” How do I even know if I am satisfied without testing it? Do I look at it and say nope don’t want it and send back? Also, it is at your expense! and keep the original boxes… Don’t use it! So, if you are buying this don’t plan to send it back. You get raked over the coals when you do send it for a 20-50% restocking fee…… My fee was 42% for panels that where in perfect shape upon returning them and all the connections minus the 3-way valve and some strapping / lag screws used during install. BE CAUTIOUS FOLKS. Attached are few pictures upon return I unfortunately didn’t get any installed.

These panels do a decent job for heating the pool in Florida where the sun is strong all day long. However the installation was not trivial and rather costly. This was partly due to the size larger than the specs. My contractor measured the width of the panel installed to be 22" not 20". Additional complication was that we could only squeeze in three, the the odd number of panels. With the odd number he needed to install and extra return pipe, to run back to the side where the intake pipe was. This was not included in the kit, he had to buy it separately at Home Depot and they only had white pipes, not black like this kit.Also the panel the quality is questionable. I purchased 3 panels and one of them started leaking within days. The manufacturer pays for the replacement but not the additional labor to get someone back on the roof and swap the good panel for the bad one. They also require pictures of the leak and the number of the part before the replacement is authorized. That means having to pay someone to go on the roof to take the requested picture of the part number.

We've been able to open our pool 2 months earlier since adding these to our roof! We started with 4 last year and this year we added 2 more.

I did a lot of research and chose the SunQuest. I installed 8 panels by myself on the roof. The hardest part was unrolling them, even in full sun at around 80 degrees. Instructions were spot on and the kits were complete. Install with plumbing to the roof edge took me about 5 hours. The rest of the plumbing took about 3 hours total. I ran it manually for about a week before installing the Pentair controller. I connected the controller to the VS pump, installed the valve controller and set speeds and now it is completely automatic. I don't have to touch it! I'm also getting about an extra degree of pool temp per day because I was turning it off way too early.

To early to tell if they work as advertised.Installing was tricky units stiff and difficult to in fold. Directions??? Two person job.

Love it. Great system. Keeps my pool at a nice temperature between 29 and 33 celcius. Enjoying a lot of swimming. Easy to assemble de installed it on a large panel facing south

The order arrived faster than expected, four largish boxes with two panels rolled up in each box, as well as the plumbing bits and pieces.The GoodPanels seem to be high quality, no tendency to buckle, collapseor kink while moving them around to do the installation.Vendor responded to a question quickly (Late Friday question, Monday answer, Wednesday missing part delivered)Heat output? They are black, they get hot in the sun, how bad can it be?The Bad - Nothing so far.A warning - the instructions mention this - the panels need some time in the sun to roll out flat. After two days waiting, nothing much happened so I assisted the process by rolling them out and holding flat with a bag of mulch on each end....They are on the roof now in the sun and I'm still working to get them to lay flat and neat.This is not bad, just something to consider at installation. Really it means the panels have a good wall thickness and are not flimsy.

Perfect size for the Gazebo roof and heats my inground pool as expected.

great product. works very well. the pieces are pretty good quality. im happy with this purchase

I originally gave a 4 star on my first 4 panels, but when we ordered another 4 ( Square area of the solar panels should be pretty close to the square area of your pool active) , I ordered the wrong kit. An email was sent, and they Through in the missing things that I would’ve needed at no charge. They responded within 24 hours of my email zero hassle, that’s five star service.
