Re: $5300 for solar heating for my pool - is this a good dea
I did my own solar install last April and installed 5 Aquasol panels 4' x 12'. It took a week of evenings after work and a Saturday morning to do it all myself. I learned all I needed to know from the manual, TFP posts, and a couple of other web sites with good cartoon explanations. It really was not all that difficult and I literally did it all myself. We already use a Pentair Easytouch control system so automation was built in and ready to go from the start. We spent just under $2000 on the entire project including PVC, fittings, & valve actuator. It works great and we were swimming in 83 degree water this past weekend (we also use a solar cover in fall & spring). Really, it depends on what you want. Either way, I'd get several estimates and compare them to find the best solution for your situation.
