We are considering adding a solar heater for our pool.
Anyone know what to go for or what to stay away from?
Any recomendations for installers in Melbourne outer east area?
I've no idea about solar heaters. But my advise would be to firstly buy a solar pool cover, or blanket. You may find that they work so well that a heater is not needed. But they would definately mean the solar heater wouldn't need to heat the water as much.
With my pool, the water gets so hot from the blanket that you have to leave it off in mid summer so the water will cool down.
See ya's.
The pool has a heat pump and is in an enclosed verandah. It allready has a thermal cover to keep the heat in.
I was thinking if we had solar as well, it would reduce our electricity bill from the heat pump. We like to keep the pool at 29C.
After our solar died due to age we simply drained the yukky brown pebblecrete pool and had it pool-painted it in a dark blue (acid washed first etc).
No solar heating required now. We also have a blanket - bought before we painted - but never use it.
The other advantage was that it took a dated 20yr old pool and made it look brand new.

How does the paint affect the pool's temperature?
