Not good

It’s crack and leaking out the water from the one of the small tube soon I turned the pool filter pump on, can’t even last for one minute, so disappointed of it, wasting my time, specially when I try to pack it up and return back to store, return is so easy, target is one of my favorite place to shop

Works great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This 24 Foot Solar Panel Heating Kit for Above Ground Swimming Pools works easy and is easy to use and install. Easy to store, light weight. This heating kit is ideal because it heats during the day and keeps cool at night. You can feel a temperature difference after each use, definitely 10 degrees as it describes.

Easy to set up

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have started having cooler evenings but the grand kids still want to get into the pool. This is perfect and was easy to set up. My husband had it put together in no time. We left it up and was a couple days later before we tried it out. I was shocked how it did help. We are very happy with this and will be keeping it up to the end of pool season. The kids are definitely happier with it.

Warn up the pool

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was a little skeptical about this product. I always have wanted one of these types of solar panel products for my pool. Papa Bear increased the temperature of my pool in one day. After a week it has been a double digit increase. Very easy to install and use.I am very happy with this product

It works good

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Where do I start with this heater pool cover. It’s defiantly huge and got some weight to it. The box that was delivered in was very tall and heavy. After getting it out of the box it was heavy and very large but I put it on my pool and I noticed that my pool was starting to heat up the water it was pretty easy to put on the pool Definitely will need more than one person with helping lift it up on the pool it works great though once getting it setup. I will say it’s very heavy to put on and take off

Sunny Days!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The swimming pool warmer was well equipped. It came with a QR code to access the digital instruction manual. The instructions explained well to assemble it in different ways. On the solar water heater system it is marked inlet and outlet. It came with parts to attach it. The assembly can be about a medium to very difficult, depending on your pool setup. In my case since I have a fixed pvc system, I had to purchase parts to attach it to my pool plumbing. It you have a pool with quick detached hoses it wouldn't take long to assemble. The quality is built well. Sunny Days for a warm up!

Works great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This heating panel works great, its still hot here so we dont need it much but I cannot wait until this winter, im so excited to get to swim when its cooler weather when my friends cant. It will be quite refreshing to swim in war water and get out to the cool crisp air. It was super easy to setup and install, you just run the pipe to it and another out to the pool, the water runs through it and the sun heats it up. Love it!

Fafco Papa Bear 24 Foot Solar Panel Heating Kit

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Living in Florida we swim a lot! Even though the weather is very hot, that does not make the pool warm too. The Fafco Papa Bear 24 Foot Solar Panel Heating Kit was easy to set up and made our above ground pool temperature about 10 degrees warmer within a week. Highly recommend if you want to jump into a warm pool!

Great In Spring / Fall

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We got this for our above the ground pool to extend the pool season a bit and it's been outstanding. Installation was a piece of cake and it's so nice to be able to use the pool in the months when it's a little cooler. So glad my neighbor told me about this, he loves his too.
