Need opinions on solar heating possibilities

[wilcfr]

John,

You must live somewhere around Seymour my home town. Like I said our biggest problem this year has been rain and more rain with the accompanying clouds and cool weather. Our poor old heat pump has been really overworked this season. We didn't replace it this year because it usually only runs until the first of June or about 3-4 weeks, but this year it has seldom stopped running except during our mini-heatwave last week. Of course then on the 4th we have the coolest high temp in Indy on the 4th for the second year in a row. Where is the global warming I was promised .

Without getting into the fact that this IS due to that "global warming", without sunshine solar heating just doesn't work very well.

But it doesn't take more than 2 or 3 days of sun to bring it back to toasty--and the last couple of days have seen my pool go into the high 80's again!
