I just opened my pool and started heating it up. I was curious about how much heat energy I was getting on a clear sunny day. I asked Chat GPT to calculate the btu’s required to heat the water from 12C(54F) to 18C(64F) at 50gpm. It came up with 270,000 btu per hour. I’ve got ten 4x12 panels.

I am trying to measure the temperature rise from my solar panels. I have an EasyTouch system and I am using all 3 temperature sensor inputs. I can probably use the air temp sensor input most of the season for this purpose, but I would like a more permanent solution. Is there some sort of switch...

I am looking for a temperature sensor or probe to monitor the temperature rise from my solar panels. I don't need anything fancy, something standalone would do. I currently use all 3 sensors of my Easytouch. I have considered using the airtemp sensor for this but I like having the freeze...

After seeing how helpful the Vinyl Liner Roundup thread was I thought it might be a good idea to start one about LED lights. I am currently trying to decide on which way to go for our pool build. It would be helpful to include some information about your lighting setup and if you would recommend...

I'm trying to figure out what would be the best kit to purchase and I'm getting somewhat confused between the different choices. Here are the items that I plan to get. Easytouch (I don't need more than 4 relays. No spa) IC60 Screenlogic wireless. I'm trying to find a kit that suits what I need...

Does anyone know what the min flow rate is to keep an IC60 happy?

We are building a 42x31x20 Lagoon pool. It will be about 37000gal with 48" walls. We haven't made any decisions yet regarding equipment. We haven't decided on a pump, filter, swg, lighting, solar 12 -4x10 (Fafco, Techno-solis, Ecosun) or an automation system. Ideally most of the equipment...

Hello Everyone, My first post here but I've been lurking (learning) for the past 5-6 months. We are building a 42x31x20 Lagoon pool. It will be about 37000gal with 48" walls. We haven't made any decisions yet regarding equipment. We haven't decided on a pump, filter, swg, lighting, solar (Fafco...
