Product Information

Solar pool heaters take longer to warm the pool, and unlike gas or electricity, which heat reliably and consistently, they aren’t as efficient in areas that don’t get lots of sunshine. GAME has upgraded this solar panel system in recent years, adding multiple adapters for different pool sizes (this was a recurring issue with pool owners in the past), and as mentioned earlier, this curved solar panel can work with just about any kind of above-ground pool. Well the short answer is that intex doesn’t make them. But that’s not the whole story… Nobody makes electric or gas powered pool heaters for your intex above ground pools. However, there are some great options for solar heating your intex pool… So the maximum pool size recommended for the Intex 2.2kw heater is 6m3 of pool water (or up to around 10′ diameter maximum) A large heating mat works in the middle part of the heater setup. The mat will allow water to run through as it is heated up. The design of the mat allows the surface to capture the sun’s rays, thus heating up the water as it moves through.
