Went in the pool for the first time this year Well the water temp was 80 and my daughter and her husband couldn't help but get in the pool.javascript:emoticon(':-D') Very Happy Air temp in Corpus yesterday was 83. Still a little cold for me but if we can avoid a north wind and keep the sun...

I agree solar is the only way. I live in Corpus and my daughter and her friends were swimming all day in 88 degree water. I have 6 2 x 20 panels on the roof of my garage. It faces SE with the house reflecting on it too. We started swimming in warm water 84+ by mid February and went till...

Living here in Corpus I can understand the cold water stuff y'all are talking about. I fight to keep my pool below 90 most of the summer and right now its running at about 86, about ideal. Of course we are expecting to have a cold wave come in this week and lows will be getting down to the mid...

I have a similar type of solar panel as you are looking at. Got it from backyardlivin on e-bay. It works great for me. We swim from February to November. Of course I live in South Texas, the panel is on the south side of th house and well protected from the wind. As the last reply stated...

I thought I was the only one planning for colder weather in the heat of August. But I see someone is looking for a winter cover so I'll ask for advice on a solar cover. I have a solar heating system on the garage facing southwest and used a 12 mil cover last year and was able to get in the...

I have solar panels and have the same issue with air build up in my basket housing. I've bought a new o-ring, cover and redid all the PVC and still it occurs. When I turn the panels off everything s fine, in the cooler weather I didn't have an issue either. Not being real scientific about the...

I have the 3 of 4X20 units from backyardlivin on e-bay. They are placed on my garage with a south exposure and get full sun from about 9 am till 5:30 pm. They work great. In fact I use them now to cool my pool by running pump at night instead of heating. They catch good sun during spring...

I have 4 solar mats on my garage roof which faces south, catches the sun most of the day and is out of the north wind. They work great! Living quite a bit further south than you, I use mine to cool down the pool this time of year, water over 90 is just not refreshing. But in the winter I can...

Please do. Thanks for the quick reply!

Well I remember that there is no such thing as a stupid question so here goes -- Are there any concerns I should have with my pool flooding over with lots of rain? We've had a lot of rain the last two days and my in-ground fiberglass pool has flooded over. I know that there are water table...

If you are in Texas don't use John Johnson and Emerald Pools and Spa's out of San Antonio and Corpus. He's so crooked he can't draw a straight line with a ruler. I did seem to get a good product as far as the fiberglass tub and had some sub-contractors that I had to pay a little extra (well a...

Just found TFP three weeks ago. A pool newbe, who went through heck getting the installation. See builder forum. Put in a solar heater on the garage roof and with a cover swam till Thanksgiving in 80 degree water and got back in the water in February when I could keep it about 80 with the...
