Re: SunGrabber solar panel....
I am looking at using solar panels on by 15' Intex pool, so I have the same dilema. I have found 4x8, 4x10 and 4x12 panels that might work better for your size pool. Now if I could figure out which one was the best one to buy!

Re: SunGrabber solar panel....
I had a 15'x3' EasySet and the 4'x10' was too much. One day, the water reached about 107deg! It was the biggest hot tub you ever saw! Usually it kept the water in the mid to high 90's--here in North Central NJ. Unless you are in northern Canada or a place where you get about 2 hours of sun a day (think Seattle, WA, or Binghamton, NY), the 8' is probably best, and the 12' is serious overkill--you could par-boil with that!

Mine is set up on a plywood satand so that it is at an angle. It is not perfestly straight although it is well supported. I don't think putting a bend in them should be a problem

Not sure if my pump on my intex will be strong enough.. But It shouldn't be too much of a problem...
Just need to figure out where I will place them...
Thanks
I installed my Sungrabber panels this weekend. I am quite pleased with them. I have them laying flat on the ground for now but I want to build a rack to mount them. I also want to hard pipe them in.
