I meant how much area are in your panels

Great, Thanks. How much are in your solar panels. What is typical temp in and out when you use them?

How has the Milton-Roy eld up? Any repairs? What was the valve you said you had to buy for the pump? A check valve? Thanks

could you post a picture of your pool? I'm thinking about a long lap pool. Thanks

Can you post a picture of our plumbing system?
