You should paint them, for protection of the tubes and makes them make hotter water, mat black is best…

This is awesome. Would like to ask you both a question. I have valves I had installed on my pool pump set up that goes to and from the pool for a wood heater I built. That turned out to be too small. I ran copper to pex to pvc. Would this system you have, the ends be modified to my set up instead of pump? I am assuming your ends have the fitting on for 3/4 to fit pump. I have tried for years to find something that will work. I hope you get this question. Thank you.

Nice video filled with good tips & trix. I'm setting up a solar powered pool heater right now and my goal is 30°C / 86°F in the pool. I'm starting with 250 meters / 820 feet of 20 mm / ¾ inch PEM hose in a flat rooftop setup. A 20V rainwater barrel pump (2,000 liters - 528 gallons / hour) will be connected directly to a solar panel, so it's a completely automatic system controlled and powered by the sun. No sun = no pump = no heating. Since I'm located at 60° latitude in the northern hemisphere, I'll guess it'll be some problems and math to solve along the way, but it'll be fun. Keep up your good work

Great idea. Only thing i would change is buy a solar controller and tap into the pool plumbing. Great job

It needs to be in a really sunny spot

Great setup, one of the best I've seen. Larger pipe is smart, also black pipe is great. I'm curious if you are still using it all these years later.

Did this 30 years ago in Portugal for a client, everyone thought l was mad until they felt the water temperature running into the pool. Black tube needs no help to heat up.

Wow! We did this eight years ago! But we did ours on wooden pallets. We took individual large wooden pallets, and we put black rolled asphalt roofing on it and stapled it to the corners, and then put our coils black tubing on it, and they would, and we would put all of the panels up on an angle just like your large one. And we would turn them onto one side because they were square face in the sun coming up in the east, then turn it to the side to face and prop it up to face the south and then later on turn it to the side, to prop it up to face the west. And then, on top of our garage, we had a whole long row. We had a doughboy above ground pool. And it was patted on the bottoms on the sides of the inside before we put the liner in. Then, we had two black bubble, solar pool covers that we would keep on the top of the pool. That was so that the sun didn’t deplete all of the chemicals and hold in the heat, especially at night. He got that pool temperature up to almost 100°, bathwater! In fact, there were times when it was too hot to really swim in and enjoy. We live in Michigan. We had a pool up for we enjoyed it for about four years. I no longer have The pool, my husband passed away, and it’s not something I wanna tackle again on my own at age 62! This is a great great idea and there’s also other types of black solar panels. You can purchase to put up on other areas. You can lay them up against your siding of your home or anything. But I would advise you to take that wood that your black coil sitting on, and either put black plastic under it or some thing black that exorbitant heat because it makes a huge difference.😊

That pump is probably way overkill, I bet a little seaflo diaphragm pump that senses pressure would work, run less and be a lot more quiet.

Thank you for sharing the info!

How much more is your electrical bill????

I think a way to improve the system at minimal cost would be to install on the ground level. Preferably a south facing slope. Build on the ground treated lumber frame all around with insulated foam panels laid on top of heavy plastic sheeting within the frame structure. On top of the foam panels lay several inches of gravel that would absorb and hold heat. Install the black tubing coils on to treated lumber framing that is set inside the over all structure and on top of the gravel. Spray paint the tubing with plastic receptive black spray paint. Then spray paint the tubing and the gravel black with an exterior grade of acrylic paint. Install greenhouse clear plastic sheeting to cover the whole structure and tack treated framing on the edges to hold it down. Use the pools filter pump with a diverter valve at the filter outflow to feed the solar heater tubing. I’d probably use 1” irrigation tubing instead of 3/4” to get a wider range of flow rate. I’d also add shut off valves and a drain plug so the solar tubing system could be isolated and drained as needed. I’m guessing a 12’x16’ framed system like that would cost about $800 to build.

I bet it never lasted

Awesome pool. A few questions for you. Salt or chlorine? How much did your set up cost. What does your set up climb the pool temperature to

OMG I laughed when I saw 8 !!!! amazing

can i ask if this system over the years stil is heating the pool iam wondering how this system is holding up over the years. thnx alr for answering. love

might be funny when the pool is being constructed to just loop it around the pool along the ground and instead of concrete tiles just pour clear epoxy. then it scales with the size of the pool and you make good use of space?

Why restrict the flow? Also would be more efficient in parallel and not serial.

get another pump that thing is way to loud .

How much does this cost to run the pump per month?

The Pool - That's a lot of thermal loss. The solar pipes - why did you create 10 circles instead of one big nascar track ? also, why you not show water temp input and then water temp at output ? You would get more thermal heat absorption if you cycled the pump on/off in 5 min intervals, also, that pump is not designed to stay running. You should install a baffled water tank to help with the life of the pump.

this is the first one ive seen with so meny,,, i have 240000 gallons i will soon do the same thanks

Solar pump!

Lol! Youre having to power the pump with loads of watts!!

Those aren’t solar panels

TEWB

Does not work the cold water is grater than the heat the tubes generate

I am sure you using a iphone.. because your video have not stabilisation.

22,000 gallons? Who did the math? It must only be 2 ft deep then. Love all the comments on how to make it better. Just a waste of time. You can’t overcome the heat loss at night with that much surface area. Is it bright sun everyday where you live for 10 hrs? Pool heaters run off a thermostat. They run at night. Solar cover for that size and shape....forget it and most of them don’t last for more than 2-3 years. At least the pipe company owner can fill up his yacht from all the sales.

Good job both of you. I did a small solution for a 10ft above ground pool. I'm going to add plexi glass cover to the top, that will retain the heat better throughout the day. Also worth boxing in the pump with some sound proofing or insulation to get the noise down.

Nice. I'm gonna build one too. I did one with hoses before and plumbed the pool outlet with a small valve into the heating system, then that went to an unused outlet into the pool where I used to have a pressure vacuum cleaner that I no longer use. Eliminates the additional pump and if the pump isn't properly grounded with a bonding wire, might get someone shocked. Also I think covering it with something like plastic awning polycarbonate would prevent heat loss from convection winds blowing over the system. Otherwise, nice.

Buy a couple of kiddie pools, have your pump connected to each in a series and put a solar pool heater cover on each. Once they've heated up, pump the water into your main pool once every hour or so. This is a more efficient and cheaper method than heat transfer through pvc plastic as all of the heat gets directly added to your large pool. Some of the kiddie pools might get up over 110 F+. This will be a cheaper and less complicated system with fewer hands-on manhours setting it up. You'll also save money on running the pump while extending the life of your pump. You could also submerge several layers of bubble wrap about 6 inches above and below each other in the kiddie heat collector pools to multiply the heat collection in each kiddie pool which will allow you to exchange heated water with the main pool more often. Your 1 degree a month rise in temperature may turn into a 1 degree rise per day.

Using drip line garden hosing is actually not healthy. This hosing leaches dangerous heavy metals and other toxins into the pool water.

does the hot water produced depend on the length of the tube or does it produce continuos hot water?

ruclips.net/video/ZjdVSXpZ0e4/видео.html best idea. You dont need to anderstand russian. Just look and do it. You can warm your pool at any time ))

PLEASE, tell me what is the your pool finishing color? It look great!

This is the information I was looking for 6:43. I'm gaining 4°f per day as well with a 20 year old 12'x4' X6 Fafco Solar array. The panels need to be replaced soon and it's almost $700 per panel. My guess is you're at or under that with this DIY set up.

The noise 😬

helpful vid. thanks for the temp info.

So it only heats the water 4 to 5 degrees?

Forgive me if you mention this in your fine videos but how much was the hose and pump...looks awesome

Throw away the small pump. Use the pool pump

I have found, that to successfully heat an entire pool and to have the power to bounce back after a cooler period, you need the same square footage of solar collector as the surface are of the pool, so a 36 x 18 pool is 646 sq feet , you would need 648 sq feet of collector. This is what I have on my pool, and I can heat the entire 29000 gallon pool to 97 degrees if i want to ( I have for a test, but usually run 86 from may through October).. Very efficient. I use Australian collector. I am in Maryland. I have four other customers with the same system and results in the area.

What’s the tubing made of? Plastic, nylon?? Thanks

Also. Crazy idea. Could this be achieved by making your pool tiles black?

Hello. Great idea. One hopefully easy to fix problem. Your pump sounds like it is struggling to get the flow it needs. You can hear what sounds like slapping water at high frequency which is the sound of cavitation in the pump housing. This destroys pumps over time. Depending on the pump, it could be days or months. Is that pump designed for a positive inlet pressure or a negative one? If negative? What is the flow rate? Is the open exit tube not providing enough resistance? Test by measuring rated flow against actual flow. If higher than rated, add a nozzle. If lower than rated, it's probably an inlet issue. Great energy saving design and good luck making it a long term solution.

You might consider running the black pipe into your attic. One there is probably plenty of unused space up there. Two you can link as many bundles of tubes you have room for. My attic gets pretty hot on a cool sunny day and in the summer it’s hot as Hades up there 175 degrees or so.

Good job!!!

You want a heated pool during cold months, therefore a solar panel would need to produce sufficient heat while outside temps were low. Greenhouse surrounding the pipes and lots of insulation along with heat reflectors to get the most UV heat possible would be required to have all year pool temps. Has anyone thought to use geothermal heating? With enough geothermal piping one should be able to have an all year long pool!

Cool idea but it would be better if all exit water went on ten seperate lines, from each solar collector giving more heat than just one pipe. Plus you could use your pool pump to circulate the hot water ,cause it's running already.
