- Reviewed in Canada on June 15, 2023Verified PurchaseWorks great to warm above ground pool
Our pool is 18 feet round 4 feet deep and we use 6 mats. Started with 2 to see how well they worked and added 4 more. We do run them on their own small pump with hosing to avoid over using our integrated pool pump. As our pump is stronger we have put them flat on our balcony overhang as we don’t get full sun in the yard all day. Instructions say don’t put on roof but we use with separate pump so it seems to works on the roof. They need full sun to work best but they do produce very warm water when the sun is out. On cloudy days pool is 23-24 degrees c. But on sunny days the pool heats to 27 + depending on outside temp. We keep a 14mil solar blanket on when not in use.
- Reviewed in Canada on June 4, 2025Verified PurchaseHooked it up for the first time three days ago. Woke up this morning to find that it had a gapping hole in the back that my pool had pumped two feet of water through in the night. $200 worth of water, gone.
Useless.
- Reviewed in Canada on August 1, 2024Verified PurchaseMore durable than what others said. I haven’t had any issues with leaks or breaking. It Doesn’t make much of a difference temp wise. I think the description was quite “generous” when they said how much it would heat. I have purchased only 1, and maybe with more than one it will heat better. I have a 15ft wide 4ft deep pool. It stays at 21 degrees. Doesn’t go more than that. This is with the heater.

Reviewed in Canada on December 26, 2024Verified PurchaseOui l'eau se réchauffe mais pour petite piscine car pas assez grand pour réchauffer une piscine 12p par 4p en hauteur piscine montable démontable
- Reviewed in Canada on July 30, 2024Verified PurchaseFor the size of pool I own I should have 2 of these but we only purchased 1. Even with just the 1 it has put our pool up 2°. I think if I did 2 like it is recommended it would work even better.
- Reviewed in Canada on July 3, 2024Verified PurchaseReplace the plastic clamps with steel hose clamps and its ok. Slows the filter down considerably so I only use it when it's hot and sunny outside, and disconnect it for regular maintenance.
- Reviewed in Canada on May 26, 2025Verified PurchaseHave tried two and both burst at the seams and the pool was half drained by the time we found it. Absolute garbage, would not recommend to anyone!
- Reviewed in Canada on September 13, 2017Verified PurchaseThe product worked really well as described. The instructions were difficult to understand but when looking at the diagram it was easy to figure out. Installation was really easy, the water had to go from the pool to the pump to the solar heater mat and back to the pool. If you have this in mind the instructions will make sense. Perhaps the instructions have in mind that this is obvious and they do not mention this. The material appears durable and the product really made a difference. There are some indications that you may connect two of these together but be careful of you are dealing with a smaller pool like mine with a smaller waterpump. It may be the safer bet to also purchase a stronger water pump, especially if the filter is in the pump. The extra route the water has to travel through and added resistance will make the water travel slower so less water is filtered in the same amount of time. This wasn't a problem for me but I could imagine a smaller pump struggling if two were connected simultaneously. Overall it was an excellent product and achieved great results in comparison to the money invested. It increased the water temperature from bonechilling cold to comfortable cool. I didn't measure the exact temperature but I really couldn't enjoy the pool without having the extra heat so well worth the investment for me.

1.0 out of 5 stars Crap
Verified PurchaseThe mat is useless. Once it’s under pressure from the pump it’s bulging and preventing the water to flow correctly. This is a no buy and shouldn’t be in the market at all. There are other brands way better.
- MartinReviewed in the United Kingdom on June 17, 2021
5.0 out of 5 stars Really surprised how effective this is!
Verified PurchaseWe have run a 12 foot pool in the past with a heat pump and never got the temperature above 28 degrees. We have gone for a smaller 8 foot pool at a new home and thought I would try this heat mat as a low cost way of raising the temperature. I know we have had some very sunny weather, but we managed to get the pool to a tropical 32 degrees. This was certainly well above even the highest ambient temperature.
The mat is high quality, especially the connections and flow diverter, this is great as it allows you to pass through at higher volumes/speeds which is critical when you want to prioritise filtering the water over heating.
Remember, you will need a pump to push the water round. We use the Intex pump that came with our original 12 foot pool and it works very well. Also, make sue you don't leave the pump on with water moving through the heat mat overnight... it is just as effective at losing heat if you do this. This is where switching the flow valve to pass through works well.
Overall, really effective product at a good price and delivered quickly.
