Does this have to be right next to the pool, or could I have it mounted nearby, say on the roof of the garage?

We mounted ours on our wood shed that's about 10 feet away from our pool and it worked just fine. We got our pool to 86 deg, which sure beat the 67 deg we were trying to get used to!

It can be mounted on a roof or most any where near by. The only limit that I can see will be the ability of your pump to push the water. I would try it out where you want it before I mounted it.

We put ours on our garage roof. However, we cannot find a strong enough pump. It says it needs a 1HP pump.

yes, mount it anywhere. but remember, further away = more money in PVC. 1" PVC works well.

The panels do not have to be right next to the pool. The only problem is you need a lot of extra connection and piping the further away you go. You also might need a larger pump to move the water that far. It works great next to the pool though.

You can mount it anywhere. you'll just need hose long enough to reach your pump

I put it on my roof. It will have more to do with your pump/filter as to if it can pump it that far without stressing the pump.

We have a 24 round and decided it was going to be a pain to mount in the middle of pool and swing it out . So we build a stand on one side of pool mounted it to that , bought a bigger solar cover and it works great !!!

Yes you can. That's an ideal spot because it is protected partialy From The Elements. Mine is installed right above garage door and it get rain on and it works perfectly. And my other is installed like the way you want to do it. If your roof line and soffit are above 2nd floor you may want to adjust your distance and sensitivity levels to Max. Hope this helps. Is scares car door Checkers Every time. As for the light bulb issue. The one that comes with it will burnout fast because of package handling in transportation and stocking. I bought a new one and installed instead of the one they supplied. I have 2 of these light one is 5 yrs old. Yes you can. That's an ideal spot because it is protected partialy From The Elements.

As for where to mount it. I'm not exactly sure but if I was to guss I'd put it above the parking brake on the lower panel jut be sure to keep it level.

Here is a link to the one I used. I didn't mount it on the roof, but it says you can: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0007U5C2O/ref=pe_385040_30332190_pe_175190_21431760_3p_M3T1_ST1_dp_1 Scott

I wouldn't put it under a deck...it's a heat pump and needs unobstructed top clearance. 20 feet seems a bit far. Mine is about 6 feet from my pump. Hayward has info on their website regarding clearances I'm sure. Seems like you can download the manual or installation guide.

I have mine indoors on a tile floor in a section of my garage. It works well. I would recommend some kind of pad underneath. Because it does splash out when the spa is turned on. It uses a regular outlet.

yes but you have to stand far enough away so you have room for club, a small breeze will knock it over I set it up in the garage no problem.

I have mine in my garage.... It supports well the heat on sumner. If it's for an open area, but protected from the rain and direct sun, it should be ok.

No, we mounted it in cement about the size of a coffee can just next to the pool edging. Flat surface mounting would not be sturdy enough.

Hi Mike- Thanks for the question. It is a good question and we get asked it a lot. If you planned to use the flood light in an area where there could be people lingering around, I can't tell you that there isn't risk of someone taking it. Check out the F108-2R that we sell. It's the same price but can be mounted. It actually looks more commercial as well. We have installed it for commercial signs. We used 4" x 4" posts and drove it into the ground and mounted the light to that. There is 9' of wire going to the solar panel. We sell a bracket that would work, or you could come up with something on your own that many people do. If you have more specific questions about your application, you're welcome to message me directly. Thanks!

We had ours mounted, but you can have it on the floor or table. Mounted covered more of an area.I liked it this disco light, because it was simple to put up.I hope this helps.

I mounted mine on it's side along the frame of my truck. I positioned it close to a body mount bracket to reduce the water that may splash into the intake part of the compressor. It's loud though try to isolate it the best you can.

Yes! Mine is installed on a wall in my garage. Depending on where I am working, I just grab it and swing it left or right. Just make sure you attach the mount to a stud!

I would honestly have to say no, the box stated for above ground pools. We do have ours roof mounted, but they can also be placed on the ground. We also only have 10,000 gallons of water and we have 2 panels. They do sell a similar ones specifically for in ground pools. Wish I could be more helpful....

No, the ladder fits on the side of the pool so the extension on the top would be to wide to hold the ladder in place. But, if you have a wood deck around your pool you could drill holes for the legs and use some kind of support under the deck, otherwise no.

We have mounted ours on the ceiling in the garage. The heat is disperced over the area it is pointed toward, thus is not truly focused, but still is directional.
