Another newbie issue... I'm having a 38x16 (6' deep, 20K gallon) Leisure Moroccan fiberglass pool installed on 23 April. I know I'm not going to install an electric or propane pool heater. My "plan" was to install the pool this year and then maybe add solar heating next year. But... I'm not ready to consider installing solar heating. I have plenty of roof space (detachable garage) that is directly adjacent to the pool pad. It faces WSW. I have hung and wired the EasyTouch 4 w/ IC40 panel. From what I've read I don't think I want the hassle of a solar cover...
I'm in northern Virginia. Will a solar heater make a significant difference in heating the pool? As far as my wife is concerned a pool could not be too warm for her, she likes the warm water. If so, how "big" a system would I need? I'm a DIY and would be installing it myself, so I'm looking for a user friendly system. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated...
