The solar system has reduced our winter heating bills by over three quarters of what it was previously.

Jack installed our system about 6 years ago. I don't remember what it cost. Even in the coldest months last year, with the solar cover kept on the pool, the rooftop system kept my pool in the low 70's, without ever turning the gas heater on. Of course, if you do wish warmer water--like when the gramndkids visit--having the gas heat the pool from mid-70's to mid-80's is a whole lot less expensive than letting the pool go uncovered and trying to maintain heat with the gas heater alone.
In six years never a problem with Jack's installation.
