Depends if you have a pool cover already if you do its not worth it (ecosavr @ 60% thermal efficiency of pool cover)

Our pool is an odd shape therefore we would have to have a bespoke cover made, fit removal steps and rails and so on. Just not worth the hassle, plus we don't have to keep rolling it out and back for users to access.

We reckon we'll spend @ £250 a year on the liquid pool cover (6m x 4m pool)

nice setup paul...what kind of wattage are you getting on days like today ..

thanks paul, impressive output on a sunday day in winter...my deal i'm going for has a remote 'geo?' wireless monitor which is wired into the inverter and transmits to a receiver showing the useage..

it looks like your forth coming purchase is one that has a transmitter that attaches around the cable and sends info to the monitor, if so beware as i had a britsh gas jobby with the same set up and i couldnt get a constant signal from the transmitter, mind you mine was probably a very cheap product which is a bit different from your one .. ... - .- -.

Have you thought about DC batteries at all for storage while your out for the day and such like or worked out better to just feed it in for the money you get back? FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's
