## Description

"Intex Pool Solar Mat is a swimming pool heating system that uses environmentally friendly solar energy to heat up above ground swimming pools. Can increase the water temperature with approximately 3-5 celsius degrees (depending on weather condition). Easy to drain, easy to store. Simple hook up, compatible with filter pump flow rate less than 5,678 litres / hour (1,248 gallons / 1,500 US gallons) . 1 square meters (11 square feet) surface to absorb the sun's rays. Constructed of heavy duty UV stabilized PVC. Suitable for above ground pools up to 8,000 US gallons (30,280 litres). Dimensions flat, before fill 47"" x 47"" (120cm x 120cm). Includes 1.25"" (32mm) hose attachment points, 1 adaptor A and B for 1.5"" (38mm) hose connection, 0.5m (1.25""/32mm diameter) connecting hose, Bypass valve. Tip :- To get the maximum heat out of the mat, just crack the valve open slightly (not full on) so there is just a slow trickle through the mat. This gives the water a greater chance of warming up before entering back in to the flow at the end of the mat. If you have the valves fully open the water will pass through the mat much faster and not gain much heat. Also it will put maximum pressure on the micro pipe running around the mat which can contribute to blowing the mat."

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does anyone get low flow on a saltwater system pump when linking more than one solar heating mat to the system and how do they rectify the problem**
A: It tells you that it is not suitable and can reduce flow rate by 75%

**Q: Can you link the mats**
A: Yes

**Q: Will this work on a Summer waves pool**
A: This will work with anything that has a flow of water and appropriate size pipes. The efficiency of heating will depend upon the volume of water in the pool. As a guide I use 2 mats to heat up about 1 cubic metre. With a few good sunny days I have had the water up to 38C.

**Q: Can the intex pool heater be used with the bestway pool**
A: Yes ours is used with a best way 10 ft pool

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Really good, works well - takes the edge off and can make it too warm!
*by C***S on 13 July 2025*

I bought two of these as I was told by a neighbour that they didn’t work that well….. we have a 3 x 2 m 800 gallon pool and one is fine. It doesn’t work quickly but it does work. It is well made - if a bit of a faff to put together. I have had not leak from it despite my loony Labrador jumping out of the pool onto it!! We have found the water still warms up even with the handle turned off, as it still runs through the larger tubes. After a hot day the pool is actually a bit too warm, but I’ll take that over the usual shock!! It is good value for money….. but, we had to buy a larger pump as the one we had - which was arguably too small for our size of pool anyway - would never have had the power to push water through this heater!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works as expected - may not last
*by L***D on 15 October 2018*

One reviewer here talks of turning off the pump to let the panel heat up. This is the wrong thing to do! It will give hotter water, but less heat, because heat lost to the air is greater the higher the temperature. Unless you want hat water, any panel without insulating glass is best run at maximum flow rate. This is like the basic physics question - put milk in your tea first if you want it to stay hot, as if you leave it sitting at high temperature and then add milk it will lose more heat. Any black panel is going to absorb around 500 watts per square meter in reasonable sunshine (full sun is 1 kW per square meter), so you can expect this panel to be the equivalent of a 500 to 800W heater in full sun. That's not a lot, but enough to heat a small pool significantly in time. The panel, laid out on a patio, tends to crease up unevenly in use, and the outlet valve is a rather ugly addition. I'd prefer a rigid panel mounted at an angel, but cheap ones don't seem to exist. It does the job though, on my 8ft long pool for the kids..

### ⭐ Terrible
*by J***T on 7 June 2025*

I had high hopes after reading the reviews. It made perfect sense that these should work. I bought two mats. Our pool is fairly modest (8ft circular). I set up as per the instructions, nice sunny spot:Issue 1 - the flow rate was non existent, our filter/pump isn't the strongest so bought a 800 gal/ph thinking this would solve the issue. It didn't, pump on its own was very powerful but as soon as you put it through the mats you couldn't even feel it on the return hose to the pool.So I sent that one back and got an evening more powerful one (1000 gal/ph) but the same issue. Could just feel it coming through but the flow rate was pathetic. Slowing the water down that much I'm sure would eventually destroy the pump.Issue 2 - this is linked the the first issue, the mats won't stay flat, they bunch up causing kinks.Issue 3 - even once I had them fairly flat and a trickle of flow going through them on a warm sunny day with them in full sunlight for hours it made no difference.Not sure if I had a bad batch but I certainly wouldn't buy again.Gave up in the end and sent them back. Very disappointed. Going to have to resort to good old electric heater
