Default Re: Solar heated Hot tub

I only heat the hot tub for a few hours every other day now
It will still hit 107-110 easily
Its too far away to cycle water to the pool

The "warm" tub has been going over 104 every day now
So when I re-installed the solar heat on the pool cabana roof I setup a water chage system
I can now drain the warm tub water to the pool & refill with water from the pool
The water goes to the pump, then filter, then solar heat on cabana roof, & finally to the warm tub
Coming out of the solar heat today it was 94-96

The pool itself...all ~19,000 gallons is now just over 88 degrees
