Best Solar Pool Cover 2024 | Sun2Solar is The Best Way to Heat Your Pool
**Spoiler Alert** We got the Pool Temperature up 15 degrees already in less than 48 hours!! This is the BEST and Most Affordable way to heat your pool in my opinion. I did a lot of research and finally made the purchase. Gone are the days of heating the pool up in the summer so the water is "warm". So if you want to know how to heat up your pool or if these pool covers even work....This is the video for you.

With all that research I found out that these solar pool covers do work..supposedly. But I still had to try it out for myself. I also found out that clear was the color to go with. It allows the most light and sun rays to pass though and into the water. That is what you want. You do not want to reflect the light off or restrict the light from passing through. Also the clear seems to look better over time. So in this video I will show the whole process of cutting to fit, installing the cover and showing how well it works. Below are links to some good pool covers too.

How to Add an Electrical Outlet to Existing Circuit
I am replacing an old ceiling fan/light because the fan quit working with a new one with remote like the one in video. Theres no ground wire coming from the ceiling, probably because my house is old. Does this mean its already grounded, if so what do I do with ground wire from fan/light or how to test if its grounded?
Not having the ground wire is fine. Some new fans don’t even come with the ground wire. The ground bear copper wire is technically a secondary safety measure. It acts similar to the white wire. So that if something were to happen for the white wire, you would have the ground as a last case scenario for the electric electricity to find its way out. But you will be fine. Make sure you do black to black and white to white and just tuck the ground from the fan away. I would either snip the ground or put a cap on it just to make sure it doesn’t touch anything inside the fan housing.
Awesome video. How’s the internet reception there? I work from home and really considering moving out of Las Vegas due to the heat, but need good internet speed.
It was good for us while we were there. I believe there is a couple options for service up there. Obvious starlink is one and there’s a local service provider too. Not 100% familiar with them though since we were just there for the weekend.
Thanks for the video bro!
Your very welcome 🤙🏼
You forgot to spray water in there
Ahhh yes, the most important step.
What model
I have links for the doorbell in the video description
I like it. Looks like you stubbed in @ a 2x6 stud. Why would you not go ahead and use 90 degree tubing supports on the back side? I'm not a professional plumber, but I'd want to cut down on the number of fittings as much as possible. Just a thought.
Your right. You could use a 90 turn support to eliminate the extra fitting for sure. Would be hard in a 2x4 wall
❤❤❤
Most band leaks occur because the band binds as you tighten it. The band looks tight from the front but is loose in other areas. If you tap around the band with a dead-blow or rubber mallet as you tighten it, it helps seat the band and prevents binding and leaks.
That’s a really good point. Thank you for the tip!
You live in a sandy area just like me. (High Desert of CA, here.) You may want to look into adding a cyclone pre-filter. They run about the same as a new set of filters, but will keep 70% to 80% of the sand and dirt from ever making it to the filter. It takes about 4 gallons of water, with your pump on high to back flush the cyclone. The two best are: CircuPool TJ-16 Typhoon, and the Waterco cyclone 16. Best regards, for the great video.
@@fredbuchanan2560 yep. Lots of dust is the air out here. Lol. Especially with me doing construction for the last year building in our lot. Hopefully it will be reduced significantly now that the casita is almost done. I need to look into that cyclone though. That would be a good addition for sure. Thank you for the recommendation. I’m from the HD. Hesperia/Apple Valley/Victorville area. 🤙🏼
Is DeWalt DCD799 strong enough to drill into quartz & granite counter?
Yeah. Any basic drill can do it. You just need to let the drill do the work. Don’t slam it or put too much manual pressure on it. Let the drill bit do its job and be patient. The power and rpm’s or the drill will be fine.
I purchased this exact cover prior to this video. Hope for the same result.
We had the pool at 97! So depending on what your weather and sun exposed is at keep an eye on it. Lol the whole pool was like a jacuzzi. Pretty cool to see how well it works. So we take it on n off depending on when we plan on swimming and want the pool in the high 80’s. 97 for swimming was a bit hot
Just wanted to thank you for this very well laid out video. Earned a sub for the no fluff, information full video style. Looking forward to the rest of your channel
Thank you so much. I really appreciate that 🙏🏼
Just installed my system - very easy to follow..only challenge is the blue retaining clip. The yellow was simple once I took it out (as shown) but the blue doesn’t go as flush.. it’s in and not going anywhere but would’ve liked seeing how you got it to set. Great video!!
That’s great you got it done. Sorry I didn’t get the video of seating the blue clip. Those small pieces can be tricky sometimes. But once you know how they are supposed to work you can Hopefully figure it out like you did. If I make another video showing the next install I’ll try to go in more detail on those kind of things.
this is awesome !! more live builds!!
Thank you! I appreciate that
Don't buy it from DOHENY's online merchant. I had a simple 12 year warranty ( CT_ North East)on a winter cover ( above ground). 2y ears in- holes blow outs. I sent many pictures to prove- Their response? So sorry- not covered. Yea. remember that before you buy from DOHENY's. They do not honor their warranties . What else do you need? Imaging buying a 2-10K pool system... Problem? Sorry. ( official Doheny';s policy).
Man I’m sorry to hear that. I’ve had a good experience so far with Thai solar cover, hit 97 degrees. So Ive had to take it off a couple days here n there. Hoping to get maybe 3 season out of it. 🤞🏼
Truly excellent job of explaining this. Thank you for taking the time to do so. The explanation of the different types of breakers was true gold! I went and looked at some. This makes choosing the right one really simple. Thank you again. I'm subscribing.
Thank you!! I really appreciate that! I was hoping someone else out there would have the same questions as I did. So I wanted to share the information
I have an 11 year old and 17 year old. Are they too old to enjoy the experience?
Ehhh I’d say yeah. It’s definitely geared towards the little ones. Nice place to visit and maybe go see BearAzona drive through wild life park though. That’s for all ages and always a good time
Do you always have to replace the tube or can you just clean them?
You can just clean them. But worst case you can replace.
Great video! Thanks for the content - How do you make the decision on what to include on each circuit. Other than a dedicated appliance circuit, why would someone opt to have 1 or 2 outlets on 1 circuit and then multiple lights, outlets, and switches on another - is it just about convenience for wiring or is there a formula/total load you are taking into consideration?
Good question. Technically code depend on your area would say one breaker or circuit for no more than 10 outlets. That’s a very common practice. That’s also usually rated to be safe. Assuming all 10 outlets could be used at once. Obviously you’re not gonna have all 10 outlets on one circuit being used at one time. Usually it’s one or two like a vacuum and a blender. But just for general purposes, a good rule of thumb is no more than 10 outlets per breaker. As far as lights there’s also an equation that has to do with watts or amps. Now with LED lighting you can get away with a lot more lights on one circuit. So for example, I would run 115 amp breaker and run two or three bedrooms off of that one. Since I’m running a lot of lighting in the garage, I ran a 20 amp breaker that will power to wall switches and have two branches of a lot of lights. Everything is LED, so it’s still under loaded. So to answer your question, they’re technically a math equation. My rule of thumb is if it’s going to be a fridge a washing machine or something that is a utility. I would put it on its own circuit if you’re able to. That way if you are using an outlet or something else related it’s not going to pull too much energy off of the one breaker if that utility turns on. So I usually run dedicated lines for those devices. Otherwise, I’ll run 6 to 8 outlets at most on one breaker. Again, just so I don’t overload a circuit. I’m trying to consider the use of power tools and you don’t want too many of those on one circuit because it could pop the breaker. So I usually underload those.
I have a Westinghouse RO system and cant seem to find the filters for it, Any recommendations? Or do I need to get another system?
I’m not 100% familiar with Westinghouse systems. But a quick google search it looks like allfilters dot com has some? And it could be possible that a generic brand or universal filter may work if it’s like theses other systems with cartridges inside.
Hi. I have questions? Do you install before or after hot/cold water system
Before. That way your hot water is filtered and softened. As well as your cold lines.
Nice job man! Well done my friend.
Thank you I appreciate that
my ring stick up camera that is like 3 months old has now stopped working. I have the solar panel powering and charging the battery but apparently it died one day due to a lot of activity, now the battery is i guess so dead it wont even turn on anymore.
I’m not a big fan of Ring. Always gave me trouble.
Really awesome video!! Just installed it with the sharkbite quick connects and not even a drop of water in the floor!
That’s awesome!! Good job!!
I just came back from the store with the same idea and items. Thanks for the video! I hate the other "solutions" on the market, they never hold the pipe in place proper.
I couldn’t agree with you more. Gotta try things yourself if you want something that actually works.
blah blah blah blah blah blah - 99.9%, useful info - 0.1%
💯 🤙🏼
I really wish someone would do a video installing a system without a loop. Just install from a 1” pipe no loop. This is a great video though.
I might be working on doing a full how to Video showing if there is no loop and how to create your own break in the water line to install a system. Just need to get a mock set up built to show a full walkthrough
Dumb question, but the transformer is on the same breaker as the doorbell right?
It can be. But not always the case. Technically the transformer can be on any breaker circuit. It’s similar to just having an outlet on a circuit. Then you take that outlet and pop the transformer on it and it’s downsizing the power to the doorbells need
How many sq foot do you believe it would do? I have a former back porch that we built the house on to and want to use it on the bottom of deck to seal up from house.
It did about 250+ of linear feet I’d say. I mainly used the straight stream nozzle and I was able to go around this whole perimeter of a 1,900sqft building.
Super helpful. Great explanation
Thank you 🤙🏼
Thank you for creating this video! I am replacing the cold air intake filter on our 2012 RAM, and I couldn't figure out how that inboard tab was holding the top cover in place. This has been immensely helpful.
That’s awesome. Happy I could be of help
I need that tool for when I needed to connect to hose drains like that.
💯
Thx. New build blues We are refurbishing a pole barn into a house. Old panel needs to go. Shopping for new one for 200 amp 40 space square D and this arc fault thing has me spinning
Yeah. It’s not too bad once you understand which circuit needs one and which ones can have just a regular GFCI outlet installed. I have about half my breakers with the new ones and the other half regular breakers because they go to all my outlets that have a GFCI outlet.
It has been a common sentiment that AFCI trip much easier than a classic breaker. Have they improved enough to rely on them?
So far I haven’t seen that problem. I know they are supposed to trip to the same standard and it’s really just an added layer of protection. But overall I think they are fine. Code requires them is some builds to pass permit inspections 🤷🏼♂️
Thanks for great explanation! Does this also have rechargeable batteries or only hardwired?
They have a rechargeable battery version. A “wireless” version. And then this one here I showed. So they have both. I should have links for them in the description
I'm not sure what to expect. You say "don't overwork the concrete" and you skip troweling and floating while it was setting. This conflicts with information I've seen elsewhere. Is this simply your preference for a less smooth surface?
In the video I could have let the concrete sit a little more. I was mainly making the video to show the overall process and talking about some facts about the concrete and forms and mixing. If I would have let it set longer I could have achieved a smoother finish.
Great video. How’s the ride quality after the lift vs stock?
I think the ride is way better. The tires ride nice too. Not noisy, has a nice clean sound to it.
You talk way too much
💯 I appreciate the feed back.
Wow, I am legally Blind and the way you went over everything even directions was Awesome. Thank you so very much.
You are very welcome!
Can you integrated with Google home ? And as soon as some one comes near will the video be sent to Google home
I’m not sure if it works with Google home. I know Ankler/Eufy has their own operating systems and apps. You can connect all their devices and get notified and view recording through their app
It does look very clean. My question is, how is it going to hold anything you attach on the side?
I’m not sure what you’re referring to. Once drywall is up the ends of the two ways lines will be cut and a 1/4 turn shut off valve will be connected to the end. Same process with PEX. They connect very easily and will have no problem being supported by this set up.
No insulation?
Yes. Insulation was installed on all the exterior walls.
Good stuff, thx
🤙🏼 appreciate it
Is light warm white or the bright white?
This one went from a warm 3000k look all the way up to 5000k. Thats usually a “warm” look. 4000k is you usually white or “bright white” look.
Beautiful pool. Great video.
Thank you. I appreciate that
Wish the volume went higher
I feel like it’s pretty good. But I also don’t use them for music much. Really just use them for the job site awareness. I still use my AirPods for music n stuff.
Nice video! I know I sometimes soak the filters overnight in a cartridge filter solution after cleaning them. Have you had good luck with that?
I haven’t done that myself but that could be a good step to add.
I know you already addressed the issue, but would you recommend them for the range, or are they more practical for a work site?
I think they’d be good for the range. But I don’t know if it’s the “recommended” use. They work off of the loud loose and sound canceling just like other range ears. So I’d say yes. But again, if you hurt your ears I’m not sure if Milwaukee would have any responsibility for it. 🤷🏼♂️
@@FortKnoxCo Thanks. I appreciate the feedback.
THanks for the step by step. Turn up your volume!
Thank you
My understanding is with plug on neutral panels used as a main bonded panel. The ground can go on the neutral bar but the neutrals must be one per terminal
Good information. I know there usually is a difference when you have a main panel and the. Neutral bar and ground bar are bonded vs with a sub panel the two have to remain separate.
I’m installing on a pitch ceiling and now my receiver won’t fit, the housing is so small. Can I buy a bigger housing by itself?
It would depend on the brand of fan. Usually the housing design fits the style of the fan. But generally how the housing secured to the fan support that screws into the ceiling is the same. At the end of the day the housing secured by two screws on the side. So it could be possible to get a bigger style of housing. Might just have to be a little creative
