After three trips to three different pool stores I found what I was looking for. Incase someone is reading this in the future, unscrew the fitting that ecosaver gives you, throw it in the trash and screw in the new adapter that then runs into a standard 1.5" flexible PVC.

The fittings were too loose for the 1.5" and they were too big for the 1.25" flexible pvc. Do they make a flexible pvc that inbetween 1.25" and 1.5"? I'm fine with using hose clamps but they fittings were too loose in the 1.5". I can see it blowing out.

Hi, I recently purchased an EcoSaver 20 ft solar heating system to run off my filter pump system. When I attach the 1.5" flexible PVC hose to the male and female elbow fitting it is very loose. I could follow the instructions and secure it with hose clamps but this seems week to me. Does...

I also like the look of these instead of the solar curve panels. How far north in NH are you? The weather can get really cold up there. Glad you got good results. Even if I take your results and cut them by three for the volume difference I would still be happy. Did your pool temp...

What's everyone's thoughts on Blue Wave NS6028 SolarPRO Curve Solar Heater for Above Ground Pools? I feel like the dimensions would work well on top of my pool shed. I don't see why it wouldn't work for IG pools. Less effective for sure but as others have said some solar panels are better...

I saw that and dismissed it for two reasons. I too am a little nervous about pumping water through my house. Second reason is I don't have an attic. I appreciate all these ideas. Maybe there is one unconventional that would work well for me.

What do you expect the cost per month to be for someone just north of Boston for gas heating?

Thanks for all the good suggestions. The 10-12 degree difference is mostly because there is such a slow flow 1gallon/min coming through the solar irrigation hose. My house is not an ideal setup for commercial solar panels. The ridge runs North South meaning the panels will face either East...

Howdy, I am a relatively new pool owner. My wife and I bought our first house four years ago which has a 30,000 gallon in ground pool. Not having any pool experience the first few years were rough. Now with four seasons under our belt we have hit a nice groove with maintenance, chemicals...
