I didn't go with the solar panels because I had just replaced the roof th eyear before the pool install and my installer said that mounting panels on the roof would void the warranty (at least if the holes leaked) and some people were telling me I would/should have to remove the panels for every hurricane warning. The final reason was that that the heat pump cost $2700 and the solar panels were going to run around $6000.

Now, I just wish I'd bough the heat pump with the cool option.

Has anyone used/seen this Glacier Pool Cooler device? I can image just a fan blowing on coils or radiator would be enough to lower the water temp much.

Thanks.
