    Very happy with my solar heating system!

    My wife likes our pool temp at 90 and with little effort the solar is keeping that number. Even without the cover I'm only loosing a few deg over night. Of course the weathers been really hot in the northeast. The only issue getting to 90 is if I have a lot of thunderstorms. They dump a few...

    I was not a big fan of mounting this system on the roof but after the temp numbers I'm getting it's so worth it.

    Very happy with my solar heating system!

    Work on the roof and come down for a swim now and then! We are pumping up three stories so you won't see me on the roof.

    Very happy with my solar heating system!

    With just a few weeks into the season the solar has been very impressive! We have 7 solar industries panels, suntouch control system, and intelliflow VRS+ ( something like that) pump. Everything works very seamless after sometime trying to understand how the system is designed. Living in...

    Solar heat???

    Thanks for the post! I had the solar on for most of the day and continued to get some bubbles. What could be causing air to get into the system. When bypassing it the waterfall and pool returns do not have air in the lines.

    Solar heat???

    My solar has been installed but has to be set up with the sun touch system and a few things changed. Trying to come up with a punch list so any help would be great! Questions.... When solar comes on there is a lot of air that's in the lines. Even after most of it clears it seams to have some...

    A few more updates.... I do have one question. We have a wet spot just under the deep end step out (last picture). The builder really does not think it's an issue but will talk to the pebble fina guys before they shoot next week. Is this normal? what issues might I have?

    Northeast Build

    Thanks for the kind words! My wife and I grew up with pools and having a little guy that wants to snorkel / scuba in the hot tub pushed us to get one. We both really enjoy diving and thought it would help speed up the learning curve for the 3 year old who can bang out many of the skills with...
