do it yourself solar poole heater
I am thinking about installing a solar heater via the pools pump.
could someone tell me if its better to buy a "kit" or could I build one my self using pvc piping. the panels and/or piping would be elevated on a shed roof off my barn which is about 7' high and there is about 400sf. thanks ahead of time. oh yeah, upstate NY |

Summer happened (s) on or about the 4th of July! In August I wore long sleeve flannel shirts too small mouth bass fish. Yep, I beat the local friend with a limit of fish that were released..... -- Oren "The voices in my head may not be real, but they have some good ideas!" |

I am thinking about installing a solar heater via the pools pump. Opposite problem here in Phoenix. With the daily highs stuck at around 110, the pool is right around body temperature, 98 or so. Leaving the aerator turned on while the pumps run helps a little, cools it by a couple of degrees, but it's still uncomfortably warm. Love to figure out an inexpensive way to cool it down another 5 degrees or so. Want me to ship you some warm water? G Jerry |

G Jerry ---------------------------------------------------- Actually a solar system will help you as well. If you run through the solar system at night (when temperatures are relatively cool) it will cool the pool water. Just make sure you turn off the solar system during the day! -- Richard Thoms President - Top Service Pros, Inc. Connecting Homeowners and Local Service Professionals http://www.TopServicePros.com |
