Default Re: Solar heated Hot tub

Temp in the front of the house (North)...in the shade.....just topped out at 94.5
Hot tub #1 is up to 106
Hot tub #2 is up to 96, started out at 83 this morning
The pool is up to 74 !!

With 2 solar system heating the pool I have:
350 gph being heated approx 5 degrees higher then input
515 gph being heated to approx 88 degrees - a 14 degree rise
And I still have 2 more panels to install

Solar panel for the 2nd hot tub is in its final location
On top of the pool cabana roof
With the height I'm only getting about 200gph from the pump
But its working fine
