  • We had a day of rain and the pool temp dropped just below 80f, I like going in with the kids but I don't like cold water, turned on the old diy 80000btu convection heater and it warmed up the pool to 86f in around 2 hours. I love this thing! #modernhomestead #diy #diypoolheater #pool #poolhack #heater #redneckpoolheater

      Nice man. The pickup pump is a good idea that way it’s not hard plumbed into the system.

    Looks like a nice system you have, unfortunately my wife doesn't like smoke otherwise I'd give it a try.
    I'm leaning towards a solar system with a solar powered pump. No wood or added electric bill and pretty much maintenance free.
    Looks like it works for you though and that's all that matters.

    Question can you just do away with the ball valves and run the rubber hose to the copper line and use 2 ring clamps? Is the black hose the garden hose?

    • @modernhomesteadfarm
      @modernhomesteadfarm  Місяць тому

      The valves adjust the tempature, slows. The water in the heater
