Can I use an In ground solar system on an above ground pool – or vice versa?
In ground pools typically have a larger volume of water than above ground pools, which builds the requirement for solar heaters with greater heat transfer. In ground solar heaters can be used on above ground pools, but the panels will probably need to be located on the ground or ground level rack. Above ground solar heaters can be used with most in ground pool pumps, if careful not to over-pressurize the panels, which are made to withstand the pressure from smaller, above ground pool pumps.
