The Fafco NS725 is designed for above the ground pools. This heating system includes a 4 X 20 solar panel that helps to naturally heat the water in any above the ground pool. This system has almost everything needed for basic installation while additional supplies for specialty installation maybe needed. This includes tubing, heating pump, and the hooks needed to hang the solar panel from the side of the pool.
This product is easy to use once it is installed. This may require professional installation if you have no plumbing experience or you have a specialty installation. A specialty installation could include anything from installing the panel on the roof of your home or positioning it away from your pool. Once it is installed this product requires very little adjustment.
The NS725 is as easy to maintain as most electric and propane pool heaters. This shouldn’t ever require any professional maintenance unless you have a specialty installation in which case then you may have to pay for future maintenance and repairs. Repairs should be minimal though just as long as you take care of the plastic tubing from the pool to the pump.

The SmartPool SMP S220 is a green alternative to traditional gas pool heaters. The system includes most of the equipment required to install it on the ground. If you want the panel installed somewhere else besides on the ground right next to your pool then you will need to purchase additional parts. This product is strictly for above ground pools but there is another model that works exclusive for in ground pools.
This product almost requires professional installation for most people. The time that it takes can be tremendous if you have never worked with plumbing. You may have to buy additional parts in order to make it work for your pool and this adds to the cost quick. Once it is installed it’s easy to use since it basically does the work for you. The only drawback is that there is no temperature adjustment.

Like the SmartPool SunHeater in-ground solar pool heater, the SunHeater above-ground solar heater is a panel-based solar heater system designed to raise the water temperature of your outdoor pool by up to ten degrees. Just as with other solar pool heaters, the SunHeater above-ground solar heater is a relatively inexpensive way to increase the length of your swimming season, and to warm the water in unseasonably cool weather.
The SunHeater above-ground solar pool heater uses a series of tubes and solar panels, connected to your existing pool pump, to warm the pool water using the power of the sun. The water is pumped into a series of tubes warmed by “solar panels”, then pumped back into the pool. These are not true solar panels in that they are not solar photovoltaic panels; rather, as most solar pool heaters do, they use carbon black to absorb the sunlight. In this sense, the solar panels used both by SunHeater and other solar pool heaters could be considered more of a passive solar system.
