Can increase the water temperature with approximately 3-5 celsius degrees (depending on weather condition). Easy to drain, easy to store. Simple hook up, compatible with filter pump flow rate less than 5,678 litres / hour (1,248 gallons / 1,500 US gallons) . 1 square meters (11 square feet) surface to absorb the sun's rays. Constructed of heavy duty UV stabilized PVC. Suitable for above ground pools up to 8,000 US gallons (30,280 litres). Dimensions flat, before fill 47"""" x 47"""" (120cm x 120cm). Includes 1.25"""" (32mm) hose attachment points, 1 adaptor A and B for 1.5"""" (38mm) hose connection, 0.5m (1.25""""/32mm diameter) connecting hose, Bypass valve. Tip :- To get the maximum heat out of the mat, just crack the valve open slightly (not full on) so there is just a slow trickle through the mat. This gives the water a greater chance of warming up before entering back in to the flow at the end of the mat. If you have the valves fully open the water will pass through the mat much faster and not gain much heat. Also it will put maximum pressure on the micro pipe running around the mat which can contribute to blowing the mat.""" ## Features - 1m x 1m surface to absorb sun's rays Dimensions before filling 1.20m x 1.20m. - Includes 32mm hose attachment points and 2 B adapters for use with 38mm hoses - Simply attach to a filter pump up to 1/3 hp or pump flow rate less than 2,000gph (7,570L/h) - Eco-friendly Solar technology that increases the temperature of the pool water by approximately 3-5deg depending on the size of pool and weather conditions. - Suitable for above ground pools with a capacity less than 30,280L (8,000gals).
