I must have notifications turned off because I just checked and you guys answered my question right away and I had no idea. Wow...your answers are right spot on and actually makes sense. The reason why I was trying to keep the TA at 80 is because my Taylor k-2006 kit says TA must be between...

Hello, I have a SWG and my pH seems to creep up every week. TA level is right around 80. I was adding muriatic acid to control the pH rise, but after a while the TA level dropped to 40. After a few increment additions of baking soda, finally got it back up to around 80. pH is creeping up...

Hello, I purchased a house 1.5 yrs ago with an in-ground, indoor, fiberglass pool. It's about 8000 gallons and it has a SWG and solar heater. Since the house is in a rural area, about an hours drive from any civilization, it was hard to find any pool maintenance company willing to maintain the...

As I look at this in more detail; The SE roof does not get the sun at the correct angle so it won't produce much heat past 2PM, if the only real feasible location on the roof is over the pool room, it does not make sense to put them on the roof anyway; Besides, not that I think about it, I don't...

I've decided on Techno-Solis 4x? panels, I need about 200 sq.ft. for 75% coverage. However, it is not yet clear to me where the best location is. I'm not opposed to putting them on the ground, on the North side of the house, near the pool mechanical room. However, my initial thought was to...

Anyone? Please look at my sketches above and let me know which one I should go with. Thanks.

That's the kind of info I was hoping for. Thanks. I also see that the warranty on the Solar Direct panels is 10 years, Ebay panels don't even mention a warranty. I'm not cheap, I just like to shop around to make sure I'm getting a fair price for a quality product. And while I would never...

Another question: The roof over the pool is such that the sun shines on one elevation during the morning, but it shines on the opposite side of the peak in the afternoon. I was thinking of putting 1 panel 48"x20' on each side of the peak. Should these panels be plumbed in series or parallel...

I am already circulating water in the early morning and evening hours, I can reset the timer to circulate during hot sun hours instead. I've read that there may also be the added bonus of keeping the attic cooler with the panels up there on the roof, absorbing the sun's energy, rather than...

Thanks for your response. The panels from that website don't look any different than the ones being sold on ebay for less than half the cost. I just want to make sure I'm comparing apples to apples. For the controller, I've read a lot of good reviews about the goldline GL-235, which comes...

I think a goldline controller will serve my purpose well in this instance, since I only plan on running the solar heater during spring, summer, and beginning of fall. Am I on the right track? But my question was: what type of panel would give me worry-free operation, I don't want to go the...

Hello, New pool owner here. Like signature says, I just recently purchased a vacation house with an indoor, inground small pool. The sun does not heat the pool at all since it's indoors, so the heat pump runs all the time if I want to keep the pool above 75 degrees. The ground around the pool...
