I bought 5 4x10 Aquatherm panels used on craigslist for my above ground pool. They've been sitting on the ground all summer and have been doing fine for my 3000 gallon intex above ground. They only get about 4 hours of direct sunlight a day. But the roof get's far more direct sunlight. The weather has changed and I'd like to get the temps back up. My toddler gets super cold if the water isn't near 90 degrees.
I'd like to try DIY roof mounting them, but I don't know where to start.
I plan on getting a much larger above ground pool for next season so I want to design for that pool. I'm looking at
roof closest to pool faces north (how much more heating would I get if I mounted on the south side?)
Can I buy and generic hardware to mount them to the roof or do I need the aquatherm branded ones?
Can I just screw the hardware in anywhere or do I need to find studs/rafters/joists?
How do I seal the holes I drill?
