2-2'x20' Solar Pool Heater w/ Add-On Kit Review

I got 2 of these panels - my pool is a 38ft x 54in deep. Observations:

1) Water coming out of panels is hot to the touch - it does do a good job of heating the pool - but without a cover, we loose most of the heat it generates during the day. A cover is still a must.
2) When first installed the system (using pool hose pieces and 2in couplers), the supply line hose expanded out to twice it's length - did not blow but eventually did after about a week. My inlet to the panels are ~18ft from my pump. The exit line sees no high pressure. I had to replace the supply side with the white "hot tub 2in hose" (higher pressure) - got it from Lowes.
3) The panel inlet size is really TOO small to accept a 2in hose and ALMOST too tight for a 1.5in - but with the white hot tub hose you have no choice - had to use a 2in to 1.5in coupler and a small piece of the 1.5in clear web-reinforced hose - without this the 2in would NOT crimp down to the panel inlet.
4) Water flow thru the panel system is MUCH less - thus it does not filter the water as efficiently - every 3-4 nights I open up my bypass (which is very simple to make out of PVC) - to get the water cleaned up.
5) MAKE SURE you come up with a way to hold panels down to the ground - mine almost got trashed after first storm. I just used bent re-bar into u shape and hammered into ground around the panel tubes - both ends.
