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. I've spent 250 USD for the hose, 50 USD for the pump and 50 USD for the solar panel. If it works, I'll have a pool heater for 350 USD that doesn't require any manuel labour at all. You can follow this project and more on my new channel. Keep up your good work and I wish you a nice and warm pool summer.
Would probably be better if you put the outlet through the side instead of down through the center kinking the hose. You would have better flow especially for that really small pump.
Absolutely. I was rushed when I built it and thought the same thing after. When I make the upgrades (copper tubing) I plan on going through the sides. Thank you.

I really enjoyed seeing the grass painted in the box😂
I like the angle bracket clips holding the plexiglass!
Worked out much better. Now If I can keep the dogs from walking on it 😆
