Is the waterproof layer above the heating wires (top) or below them (bottom)?

Idk but I would not look at this product as much of a water proof device. If I had to guess from having the thing I would guess it is somewhat waterproof on both sides but should be cleaned right away in my opinion.

the vents for the gases are on top of the lid.the provisions for the wires are built into the edges of the lid.I have a short video of this box at this link. http://youtu.be/Et7sf20b8pI

I put under stove exhaust fan while using. Assuming you have vented range hood.

Thermostat is removable,however they say do not water near that connection.

Basically yes, it goes under the top cover of the perimeter of the pool or hooks up to the top railing, but it has to be covered by water up to the marked level, because of the heat it produces. It has a mark for water level which is about 2 feet below the top of the side of the above ground pool.I hooked it up with a remote switch, so I can easily turn it on or of without touching the plug.

My heater is placed so that the temperature control button sits above the water. It has worked just find for about 10 months!

It says in the precautions to put it on top of not under the area needing heat.

I believe that because of the heat flow going mainly upwards the electrical outlet will become quite hot if above heater.

I have installed these above ground but usually put a box over to protect from sunlight. They are totally waterproof but of course your electrical connections will need to be waterproof nuts. And the valve is female pipe x female pipe.Curt

You would have to add weatherproof conduit/wire clamp connection. The hole for the wire access is on the bottom of the connection box, so it is protected by gravity. Be sure that the wire cable loops downward to avoid any water flow along the cable. This is very standard for a weather exposed electrical connection. The cover of the connection box has a gasket seal for water protection.

Personally, I keep mine pinned under a thick blanket, the heat comes right through, the blanket cushions the wires and then sheets on top keeps it pretty clean.

The 4 copper wires are sandwiched between two layers of plastic. If you peel away the backing you will expose the copper wires. They are not individually insulated.

None that is exposed. The bottom has aluminum sandwiched between two layers of stainless steel. That enables even heat distribution.

I would cover them either way. It is electrical and water does not help, and they are not advertised as waterproof.

Yes; the sides are wire mesh so heat radiates out of the sides as well as the top. You feel a stronger flow at the top, though.

Depends upon what the temp underneath the heater is. If temps are too high, the resulting higher rate of evaporation or "cooking" of the product might cause a problem.

I use mine above ground. Never really thought about it being waterproof or not but it works just fine. I have mine connected to an Belkin WeMo so I can turn it on and off remotely
