Solar Pool Heater

Dec 13 2011 Published by admin under Solar Power

Final year I set up a solar pool heater that I produced myself. I just T’d the 2inch pipe coming out from the pump and the T side was 1 inch. Thus, the T slips off some of the circulating water and runs it through a set of 1/two inch black tubing. There are two headers at every finish and then the water comes out onto the slide and back into the pool. The pool temp on this day commenced out at 68 degrees in the morning. Granted it was a good sunny day and the outside temp was about 74. The pool water was up to 73 degrees during the shooting of this video and the water coming out of the solar heater was practically 79 degress. It had been 80 degress coming out most of the day even even though the air temperature was 74 for most of the day. This was a relatively inexpensive way to accomplish solar heating for your pool. Now each and every pool is distinct so I am not positive of your set up but this was a quite straightforward way to set up the solar heater. I may possibly add added tubing and yet another header at every single finish this year in order to increase the pool temp even more. Practically nothing LIKE Cost-free Energy FROM THE SUN TO HEAT THE POOL!!! The pump still runs off of the grid and isn’t solar. Perhaps someday I will upgrade the pump to solar.
