    Fantastic!! I read all of the comments and I like the idea of putting the tubing in a large black plastic garbage pail. If you coil up the hose in a big black garbage pail in the sun, wow it will get HOT FAST!! Nice idea!! 👍👍👍

    Nice video for showing how simple this is for people to do!
    You’re bang on with the ‘not too fast, not too slow’ you have to tailor the heat energy output compared to the electricity used to pump it…
    One slight change to make - put the pump input further and deeper from the heat output…
    This way you take in the colder water at the bottom to ensure the pool heats more evenly.

    I've been using this method on my pool for 2 years now .
    Works great.
    I use a 15mm isolation valve to control the water flow .
    And it works better if you take the water from one side of the pool and return it to the other side of the pool. Plus suspend the pump about 2 inches from the bottom not near the top.

    Sent to my grandson to help heat his pool next year. Great idea. I may even set up the smaller one I have next year to see if it will heat that one up along with it's solar cover.

    Nice. I’m definitely going to make this for my pond. Any thoughts of running the hose through a series of black cans inclosed in a box with a glass screen? I’ve seen solar heaters made for warm air this way, but I haven’t seen it done with hose ran through it.

    I am doing this this week, I already have 2 solar mats in parallel they got me from 70 to 84f, the 500 ' Hose was cheap at Target $21 plus $7 shipping , I just looked it's $113 now . after running around 2 hours after setting it up on a cloudy hot day it was putting out 99f pretty damn good.

    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

    I want to do a setup like this, and am wondering if the pressure from the bottom drain hole would be enough to push the water through the hoses? Sorry if that's a dumb question, but when we drained our pool last fall, I was shocked at how much pressure came out of the drain hole, so that got me thinking...*edit - our pool is 6600 gallons (18' round x 4' deep)

    • @johnnywriight

    • @XclusiveChiq
      @XclusiveChiq Рік тому

      Basically, you do the same concept but instead of the multiple coils… you attach it to a copper hose, and throw that hose on a grill (im gonna try a small one) so no suntanning the coils! The water will be boiling! Set it inside the pool and you should be set. Can you try with an affordable grill?

    How would you connect it to your pool filter instead of the little pump?

    • @Jazz-ji9zu
      @Jazz-ji9zu Рік тому

      That's gonna depend on your system. I would put it last in the system, after it's chlorinated and filtered.

    • @andrewrivett3366
      @andrewrivett3366 8 місяців тому

      I have a salt water pool and I generate the chlorine through the salt cell at night. That's the standard set up. During sunny days just switch to the drain setting on the filter. That diverts the water to the hose. Keep in mind that you want a system that circulates a good volume of water. If you use too weak of a pump or a hose with a narrow diameter, you'll get hot water ok but the volume will be insufficient to effectively heat the pool. I recommend using the pool pump..much stronger...but don't make it work too hard by using really narrow pipe...sure the water will be hot but you'll toast your pump....too much resistance. The goal is to heat lots of water a little bit, not a tiny amount of water to a high temp.

      Several of your links only go to "related searches" so not sure which kne you used. Like the pump. We have a 20 ft pool and are thinking of using 500 ft of the tubing. We aren't sure what pump. Also couldn't see which adapter you used for pump to hose.

      inflation 😂🤣 . but seriously. to bring cost down you can also use the pools pump. to avoid the cost of a pump. also in our case we bought 500 ft of hose but you can always buy less. instead of our own table. laying it, in the ground will provide very similar results. also for the connectors you don't need to buy a set . you can always buy the ones needed. in our case we bought the extra hose and connectors for our garden. hope this helps. 👍😊
