The Intex Solar Heater Mat is a 47-inch square mat of UV-stabilized PVC that sits in the sun and warms pool water as it passes through. Intex rates it to raise water temperature by roughly 5 to 9°F, depending on sun and air conditions, and it fits Intex filter pumps up to 1/3 HP with flow under 2,000 gal/hr. It suits owners of small above-ground pools up to about 8,000 gallons who want passive solar heat with no electricity. Against gas and electric heaters it is slower and weather-dependent, and its 3.1-out-of-5 rating from 203 ratings shows many owners find the gain modest.

Ratings are lukewarm at 3.1 out of 5 from 203 ratings. Owners who get strong sun and a small pool report a noticeable warm-up, while many others say the gain is small and the mat does not last.
