solar pool heater

Hello there, First of all I should say that I have learned a lot from these forums. So thank you so much for all these amazing discussions and suggestions. We replaced our old solar pool heater panels with new ones. All the plumbing and valves setup is still the same. We have a relatively...

Hi Pool People! New member and pool owner here. I have an in ground pool that came with a solar pool heater. I had a pool guy turn it on for me but he ended up being kind of unreliable so I ended up discontinuing his services and decided to do the pool myself using this forum. So far all of...
