Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)First off, I admit I was hesitant about buying this heater because of all the negitive reviews. But my wife told me to buy it and give it a shot. I'm so glad I did. It works better than great and I was shocked on how fast it heated up our pool. We have what we call our starter pool. It is an Intex 48inches X 18 foot. We just filled the pool about a week ago and already the pool has been heated up to 68 degrees and each day the temp raises a bit more. We just have one for now and planning on getting a second one soon to heat the pool up more. With that said, I have several tips that you should do to make sure it works just as well as mine. For your reading convience i created a check list for you:
1. make sure you have a good pump/filter system. If you have an Intex pool with that sub-par pump/filter that came with it...I can't stress enough to get rid of it and upgrade to a better pool pump and filter. Not only will you have cleaner water, but it will heat better. if you want to know what kind of pump we have, it is a haward 3/4hp pump with a cartrige filter.
2. keep up on all your chemicals and clean your filter regularly. The more efficiant the pump runs, the better it will work (i feel that this step should go without say but, sometimes the obvious things are overlooked)
3. before you run your system, double and triple check all the hose conections. Any leaks will also cause it not to heat the pool right. a little side not, don't overkill the amount of hose that you use. use just enough to keep the unit in direct sunlight.
4. in reguards to the complaints about the plastic cover poping off. I have never had the happen and we had it running durring a little heat wave where we got to 95+ outside and still no issues. I will say that I can see how it does happen to people because it takes some force to get it to pop in place. you will know that you got it securly attached when you hear and feel a click. You really need to firmly turn the cover to get it to lock.
5. make sure you are running your pump durring the hottest parts of the day and when the unit is in direct sunlight. We turn on our pump at 8am and turn it off at 8pm.
6. I hate to say it like this because it sounds like im being a donkey (you know what i mean), but use some common sense. I really feel that some (not all) of the people who wrote negitive reviews tried only once to trouble shoot it and or were really rough with it. Like I said WE HAVE NOT HAD ANY ISSUES AT ALL with this product. If you are familiar with how you pool system works and keep it working properly and efficiantly all season long, you won't have any problems.
