Own 3 of these, two of which are 4 years old. No issues, although the use of black tubing makes it challenging to ensure the rubber seals are properly seated when assembling. "Wrinkles" for lack of a better term cause some crimping/ collapsing of some channels near the valve fitting which probably affect the flow rate, but even so we have to bypass them by late afternoon on a really hot day as the temp exceeds 92 C in our 10 ft Intex pool. They're not perfect but they work!!
Intex Solar Water Heater Mat for 8,000 Gallon Above Ground Swimming Pool
The Intex Solar Heater Mat is an energy-efficient way to capture the sun's rays to heat up your above-ground swimming pool. With all-natural sun usage, this heating panel requires no electricity. Using the natural power of the sun to warm your pool water, the mat increases the temperature by approximately 5 to 9 degrees Fahrenheit depending on the weather. Designed to work with a variety of Intex filter pumps, this heater is compatible with filter pumps with up to 1/3 HP or a pump flow rate of less than 2,000 GPH. Suitable for above-ground pools of up to 8000 gallons. This mat functions well with multiple solar pads, coming with adapters and attachment points that fit 1.25 and 1.5-inch hoses. Make sure you get the most out of your splash zone and hook up this pool water heater to others if you've got a larger pool. Constructed of heavy-duty UV stabilized PVC, this mat will stand up to the summer sun and folds nicely for compact storage when winter comes around.

I modified the fittings to be run by a solar pond pump. Works great, pushes out warm water when the sun is up, turns of when the sun is down. Definitely a good buy.
