I am thinking of getting a 4x20 fafco solar panel for my 2000 gallon pool which will be upsized to 3500 gallon next year.
Location gets good sun around 8 hours a day. I plan to mount it on a 6 foot fence that is next to the pool.
My question/concerns are the intex fittings on my intex 1650 sand filter and the intex SWCG. The plumbing of the solar panels seems easy enough until I get to the non standard intex fittings. Any lessons learned from your set up would be appreciated.
I saw these panels on ebay for $240 with shipping. I would like to set it up this fall to make setup next spring easier. My current temps with a solar cover are near 90 degrees. I'm hopeing the solar panels will keep the water above 70 deg. until November. For less than $300 I will take a chance and see.
