How many panels are needed to be effective for a 24' round, 54" high above ground pool?

I have 3 4X20 panels for a 40' X 20' pool average depth 7'. On a good day it will increase temp about 3 F.

I absolutely do. Our water will rise about 10 degrees in 2 to 3 days and then continue to go up. Keep in mind ours are roof mounted. Good luck!

Hi Kathryn, our pool is a 16 X 24 foot oval and holds 10000 gallons (6ft in deep end) and we have 2 panels. Hope this helps.

I'd honestly try to find a cover that'll cover the entirety of your pool. The point of solar covers is to hold heat in. If you use multiple panels to cover it, you'll have gaps (even if you overlap) in which heat will escape, ultimately lowering the effectiveness of the cover.

You will need a foot and half more on each side, for poles and boards. We love our pool and very glad we bought it. The picture shows pool sides are on ground but it actually says to put on boards.

We have only one control panel. It works amazing, in fact I hooked it up myself and not a pool company. Everyone who sees our software on our phones, laptops and tablets are so amazed. We turn the hot tub on from work so when we get home it is a bubbly 100 degrees. sorry, cannot answer your question on 2 Jandy panels. Need to call Jandy.

I would go with 24 and then cut it down. Also, get the pool cove pieces. They are great. For my 21', I got the 19 pack.. I can't remember if I had any extra

If you have 2 set of ladders on each side of the pool like I have, you might want 2 sets. One set for each ladder. If your Polaris only gets stuck on one side then one set. I have 2 sets. One set you get 2 panels. They do work. Sometimes the Polaris goes underneath the steps but nothing you can do. Get 2 sets. Then you'll be fine.

As a rule of thumb go with 250 max. They are not made to carry weight for an extended time. If it's an above ground pool he/she. An enter from the side.

I use mine for a 24 ft round above ground pool. 14000 gallons. I think it would do just as good on a 33 ft round pool. 20 something gallons. If you are considering using this on an inground pool, I would definately consult a pool specialist. If your inground pool was just a plain Jane type of pool , sure this would be fine, but on todays inticate below ground pipeing, itvmight nto be able to hqndle it or you would have to improvise on pipeing connections. Talk to your local pool outlet stores and ask them also.

I would say you will need 2 at minimum. You will have to hang fixtures at height that will give you the spread you are looking for to cover your tank.This light has been very good to me with LPS and a few SPS corals because it is adjustable for intensity. I have 2 over a 55 gal. (48" Long) tank. In 2 months I have seen a lot of new growth in my corals.

Wow, I can't imagine that would work. Creating enough current for resistance would most likely be more then the structure would endure. A comercial pool designed for the purpose would cost several 10's of thousands of dollars. I would suggest a cocktail and soaking in peace is a more reasonable plan. However, that said, please post your result. Have an awesome summer, best regards.Mark

I have a 24 ft. round pool and I used 16 sections so I think 17 should do. Is the pool round or oval? If it is round count how many space between the supports there are and that will give the number you need. Don't forget to leave one space open for access to the pool?

1-2 tablets per week is adequate for our 24x52 pool. I would think that 1 tablet would work, with the option of a 2nd tablet when needed. It works beautifully!

You will need at least 2 for sure. I have a 30" tank and one just barely does it. If I had room for another one I would put acsecondbon the tank to get better light at the bottom.

I bought a 18 ft solar cover for my 18 ft ultra frame pool and it fit perfectly. I don't think you would want a gap because it also helps keep the heat in at night....

My pool is rectangular and no deck. I built a rack at one end of my pool which is about 6 inches higher than the pool. Works great for me. Got the idea when I googled above ground pools solar covers. Used 4 x 4's for the rack and spaced them apart the width of my pool. Hope this helps.

The heater heats my 28' round by 54" above ground pool. However if you have a cartridge filter (pump) then you ABSOLUTELY MUST get another pump. I suggest a sand filter system depending on your size of pool, from 50-100lb sand filter and a minimum 3/4 hp pump. You can get a Hayward set up for approx 300-400 if you shop around. Or buy used.

It's tough to answer that with out seeing your setup. I have 6 panels on the roof (14' up). I took the outflow from the filter using 3' of 2" flex hose, plumbed into the hard 2" PVC pipe, up the wall, on to the roof. That then ties into solar panels. Same thing to returns to the pool. Works great in Los Angeles, my 17,000 gal pool is 85 degrees mid May! I have to get a cover to try and control the evaporation!
