*Connecting thru the pool filter system really boggs down the water flow and the output back into the pool was very low.
I used an old filter pump to create a separate system for the heater.

I took a different approach: I got some PVC pipe and made two tubes that go over my deck to and from the water. I also have a solar cover, so I put the tubes on the end of the pool deck by the cover reel.(above ground rectangular p" |

| "I purchased the spacesaver kit, and was very pleased with the results. I have a small yard, so the unit had to be put on a deck rail. This was perfect. Nice and hot, and out of the way. It heated up the water considerably.
