Katie Reed Yes it was however only after 2 or 3 days of warm and FULL SUN weather Today it’s reading 24 degrees. With 19 degree weather and partly cloudy skies. Fingers crossed for a sunny summer.
siguy337 anothet question if i may? Is this just a standard pool filter pump or did you have to upgrade it at all? We have a standard bestway pump for a 12ft pool but worried it wont pump tje water through the pipes. Thank you in advance. 😁
Katie Reed Hello yes just a standard pump for a 12 foot pool is what I’m using, you do need to make sure all the air is out of the pipes in heater though and this takes a while... otherwise pump is at risk of overheating running with too much air in it. 2 weeks after starting it all up again this summer I’m still getting air bubbles about 5 or 6 inches long at high point on clear pipes. Just keep releasing valve on top of pump to let air out when pump off. Hope this helps! 😄

@@siguy337 It looks like 32mm, I have some white at home but cant get the hose over the end of the pipe, so I was checking. A few days ago I built the same as you with black conduit but the pump struggles at the diameter is too small.
It needs to be black! So you will need to paint it, including the box etc. I used a heat gun to soften the connection piping to fit pipe to pool pipes.

I am 75 years old and just have a kiddie pool. But this makes such a big difference. Even oldies need a pleasant experience. We deserved these.
Hi, Can you post links to your materials? What size pipe did you get?
Would conduit piping be safe? And what did you use?
@Jared Willis ok thanks
Does this only work for pools or we can constantly feed cold water and get hot water on the other end?
Only if it’s continually full sun. Water will come out a few degrees warmer than it flows in. Not suitable for drinking.
Just wondering if anyone has tried to add sand in the voids of the solar heater. Sand can get hot as well and hold heat.
thats weird i thought about thta since when I go to the beach on a hot day the sand is burning my feet
Great idea. Worth trying.
That pool is what 10 foot round 3 foot deep? A solar cover alone would heat that pool up with a few days of direct sunlight. Seems like overkill.
Just peeing in it should do the trick.
Bullshit
Were these temperatures in the UK? Many thanks.

siguy337 thank you very much! Ours is only 17° so looking for ways to improve that!! 😁
Katie Reed good luck! We love it.

Just wondering why you painted the back of it in black
Antony B black = heat retention

Dude this guy i cant
before fitting glass fill all the box with sand
Why? Won that block the sunlight reaching the black pipe?
The music is driving me nuts
does your volume knob work?

Short drive? LOL!! ;-)
What size pipe did you use??
I think it was 35mm. Long time ago now! Or possibly 32mm

@@siguy337 Im going to buy some black pipe, I was looking at the white pipe I had in home to see if I could get the hose over. Thanks for you help
I did it quickly and efficiently with instructions from Avasva webpage.
