Customer Feedback

POSITIVES

Seems like most of the positive feedback came from those that had smaller pools. A number of customers even used 2 heaters to heat their pools.

NEGATIVES

There was a number of complaints about the quality and how the lines tend to kink up. Leaks caused by the kinks yet after talking to Intel’s customer service all seemed well.

Conclusion:

While we think the Intex Solar Heater Mat for Above Ground Pools is decent for the price and better for smaller pools. If you have a pool with more water you would be better off going with a Fafco Above Ground Solar Heating System.
