- Wood Fired Pool Heater: How to Build
In this video i take you on a walk around of a wood fired pool heater I was commissioned to build. Very simple to build and should work great!

I’m afraid that water heater will outlive you and me....they are gonna have a nice warm pool, Ron. Great video!
Yeah its built heavy duty but really because the pipe is what i had, and to try and avoid warpage.
Your dog thinks you’re losing your mind, talking to yourself lol So cute
Lol hes used to it by now.
Looks nice and solid 🙂 Should work great 👍
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Mike, it should last a long, long time!
I would like to see where plate sits to be removable so you could put a tray in for the ash to be removed easier
Well i dont have the unit, i built it for some people. But that would be a good idea and doable for sure.
Good vid and great craftmanship
Thank you, from what im told it works great!
Thanks for watching and commenting.
Great job👍
Thanks!
Thanks for another great video. That water heater should produce lots of hot water and it is built heavy duty and should last.
Yeah i think it should work great. I will find out in a couple days when they put it to work.
It should last a very long time!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
I like this kind of content and hopefully one day I will get a handmade Knife from you. That would be amazing. Best wishes from germany.
Thanks Sven!, some day i will finish that knife i started, maybe this winter.
@@FabbinAdventures That would be awesome. Go on with your good videos.
Thanks for sharing this video on here. Do you have any update on how efficient it is?
I have not heard back from them, ill have to enquire and get back to the viewers on it.
Thanks for watching and commenting
Unique idea good job. I would like to know how it will perform despite condensation.
From what they tell me it works great!
Thanks for watching!
I Know This Video Is A Few Years Old But, Any Chance You Might Have A Cut List And A Couple Shop Drawings?!...Im A Fab/Welder And Am Looking To Do Something Like This And Am Just Looking For A Starting Point...I Really Like Your Unit Compared To The Other "DIY" Setups
Sorry i dont, i rarely have a cut list or plans even. I typically just wing it..lol
If you can fab and weld you can build this, its pretty simple!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
@FabbinAdventures Fair Enough, Appreciate The Reply...I Have An Idea In My Head, Just Like Yours Better 😂
@tjr3963 haha, well it should be fairly easy to duplicate.
Have fun fabbing, thats the best part, building things that alot of other people can't, they look at us as geniuses, when we are just normal people that have the skills and tools to build stuff
Hey! Awesome build. I was wondering if they had this for an inground pool? I’m looking into buying one but they are like 3-8k. Was even considering what a fabrication guy in my area would charge, could you give a range , not asking of exactly what you charged.
I cant remember exactly what i charged but it was no where near that price, less than 2k if i remember right.
I save a lot money
Great job! Are there premade wood burning units in that size? Everything that I see is pretty tiny.
Not that i know of.
@@FabbinAdventures k. I want to try this out too, I'm just trying to figure out if I should do it in a pellet grill/smoker, my fire pit, or a rocket stove or something.
It apparently works good.
You probably dont want something you have to constantly feed like a rocket stove.
Great build! I am curious about one thing however, is this being hooked up to a conventional pool pump, with sand filter, chlorinator etc. if so it would put a lot of back pressure on it, and might wear it prematurely. I'm not trying to be negative, however I was considering something like this for our above ground pool, and wonder if I were to go that route if I would need to size the exchange pipes larger then 5/8" copper. Thanks!
Im not 100 percent sure what the customer did, but i do believe he just put it in line with the stock pump and filter.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
I use an inexpensive aquarium pump to feed the copper tubing. It's quiet & cheap to run, plus it has no effect on the pool filtration system.
Thatd be a great idea, i believe the people i built it for planned to use the filter pump that came with the pool, but i havent seen it in action, but they said it works great!

Hi guys ,I've been doing this type of thing for years and I discovered early that it needs to be on it's own pump system, if for any reason the water stops flowing it turns into a steam cannon, kids just love to plug up the holes in pools and it's a serious safety issue, I always use a separate pump and I remove it when the kids get in .if done right this type of system can heat up a large above ground pool in 6 or 7 hours .I make mine out of a old hot water tank 50 feet of copper and a 1 ho pump .
@@kenmystery9754 Hi there I am trying to do the same thing, how do you connect the tubing to the tubing that goes into the pool, Like what kind of connections do you use so it doesn't melt your plastic tubing
How long did you estimate the time before having to change copper tubing? ConcernI have is with creole build up.
Thats a good question, i guess it depends how much burn time. The people i built it for say it works awesome, but never said what kind of maintanence its gonna need.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Water should probably go in a low side and out a high side so it doesn’t boil and vapor lock the line.
Good point, sofar it seems to work great i hear. Thanks for watching.
the coils should be stainless. the copper can become brittle
I just built it how they wanted it.
