Time to find a new way to heat the pool. I used a copper heat exchanger that I built last year over a campfire and that worked great but the neighbors hated the smoke. This year we use Mr Sun!

should pool solar cover be used bubbles up or down?
bubbles down. when the rays hit the cover they refract more through the bubbles and give off more solar heat when it passes through it. be carefull though they get fragile after awhile from chemicals and start to fall apart and can clog your pump and skimmer baskets.

Can anyone give me some info on how to figure how many panels needed for a 110 volt 12 amp pool motor. Thanks/ Run 5 hours a day
can you get federal and state incentives for solar panels if i hook it up for my pool?
You could run your AC pool pump using a solar electric battery based system with an inverter, or you could just install a grid tie system to roll your utility meter backwards to indirectly offset the power of the pool pump, or my favorite option is to switch out your AC pump with a solar Direct DC Pool pump as sold at the link below. This option I believe is better since AC pumps are inefficient and need a large solar array to operate whereas a more efficient DC pump can run the pool with less of a solar array. and when I say less I mean several thousands of dollars less in PV equipment so that buying a new pump actually pays for itself and then some.
The other benefit of having your own DC pump is you can make it autonomous, meaning its isolated from the grid and runs whenever its sunny without the need for batteries. And the pool needs circulation more when its sunny rather than cloudy since algae grow more when its sunnier.
