This product may not be suitable for very large in-ground pools or pools exceeding the 30,000-liter capacity, as the heating surface area would be insufficient to provide a noticeable temperature increase. Additionally, it is not effective in regions with limited sunlight or during prolonged periods of overcast weather.

How to use
To use the Intex solar mat, connect it to your existing pool pump system using the appropriate hoses. The water from the pool is circulated through the mat, where it is heated by the sun before returning to the pool. Ensure the mat is placed in a location that receives direct, unobstructed sunlight for the majority of the day to achieve optimal heating results. The system is designed to be integrated seamlessly with standard pool filtration setups.
What to consider before purchase
- Ensure your pool pump has sufficient flow rate to circulate water through the mat
- Verify that you have enough flat, sunny space near your pool for the 1.2m x 1.2m mat
- Check compatibility with your current hose diameter
Usage recommendations
For the best results, position the mat on a flat surface facing the sun and use it in conjunction with a pool cover at night to retain the heat generated during the day.
