This video shows the basic principle of how solar pool heating systems work. Water is normally drawn from your pool using your pool circulation pump and returned the to pool after going through a filter. When a solar pool heater is installed, a diverter valve is installed to send pool water through solar panels on your roof where it can heat up and be returned to the pool as warm water. The diverter valve also serves to bypass the solar panels when the water reaches the desired temperature. This can me managed with a manual valve or with an automated solar pool heating controller.

How Does Solar Pool Heating Work?

nice that! yvette well done.
回复删除2 things to get more heat with your current setup:
回复删除1. Acrylic panels; plexi-glass over the panels will REALLY HEAT it up though!
2. Cut down the noise of that pump and enclose the back side of the panels. This too will add heat to those panels.
How is that pump working for you? I have a similar build but I keep having pump issues. These transfer pumps like yours are not meant to run for 5 hours a day 7 days a week (continuous use). So I have been racking my brain trying to find a pump that can handle this load and also pump the water up 12 feet to my tubing on the roof. I tried pluming the line into my pool pump but that didn't work either because it just goes path of least resistance right by the t. I don't want to have to force all the water through the heating system since its separate. So I'm just wondering if that pump is holding up to your load.
回复删除Is your tubing UV resistant?
回复删除the intake line is sucking onto the pool wall. I can hear the pump struggling, to pump water.
回复删除Try the plexiglass on it. It will greatly increase the heat because it traps the heat in. Think about it. Is it hotter inside or outside of a greenhouse? Also wood and plastic are insulators so the do not coduct heat very well. If you replaced the plastic pipe with coiled copper pipe and just join them with a "Shark bite" connector. Keep the wood boxes but get some thin sheet aluminum under the pipes and paint it flat balck.
回复删除The hoses were kinda a mess compared with other videos out here hehe
回复删除Do them in parrallel instead of serial and you'll be shocked at how much better it performs! Great setup.
回复删除How much did it cost ?
回复删除If you submerge the tube of hot water to the bottom would be better, the rest does the physics.
回复删除Good idea. I would put the whole thing in a cheap green house. I think more efficient and less noisy.
回复删除It would be cool to make an update video for the results
回复删除Have a professional out to check your electrical, since you do not have it bonded to pool and it is separate from the pool. If there is a falt- failure, someone can get killed.
回复删除Just based on the little you showed. Unless you like to gamble, then good job.
If you plumbed in a tee with a 3/4 spicket on the output pipe of your pool pump you can get rid of that sprinkler pump you plugged in and not have any electrical whoopsies later on, while saving money.
Have a qualified professional check that not just some random pool guy, but someone who knows swimming pool bonding..
thank you for this, I was ale to finish my very first solar water heater..
回复删除i made it too. just used InpliX instructions. just click the pig on that website :)))
