28685e Solar Pool Heater Kit, 47 In. X 47 In.

The Intex 28685E Solar Pool Heater Kit is a solar-powered heating mat designed for above-ground swimming pools up to 8,000 gallons. It harnesses the sun's energy to increase pool water temperature by approximately 5 to 9 degrees Fahrenheit, depending on weather conditions. This eco-friendly solution lets pool owners extend their swimming season and reduce energy costs without relying on traditional electric heating methods.

With an 11-square-foot surface area, this heater mat absorbs solar rays efficiently across a compact 47.25-inch by 47.25-inch footprint. It connects easily to existing pool filter systems with pumps up to 1/3 horsepower or flow rates under 2,000 GPH. The kit folds for convenient winter storage and is constructed from heavy-duty, UV-stabilized PVC to withstand outdoor conditions year after year.
