Solar Pool Heating
Q: I am interested in purchasing a small ( 10' x 30") pool for my grandchildren, but the cost of heating it concerns me. Does anyone out there have experience with using 2 or 3 hundred feet of PCV pipe to absorb solar radiation.
A: we have an 18' circular pool. 4' deep pool. between the sun hitting the pool, and the 30' black hose going to the pump, the pool stays at 80F in summer. tho not wi a pool. Water sitting in the pipe took about 40 minutes to go from cold to steaming hot. I was using half inch green garden hose. More relevant tho, a cheap simple ey to increase pool temps is to relfect sun direclty into the pool. A reflective wall will give you lots of heat, very simply. Make a circle in the box Starting just inside one of the inlet / outlet holes. We'll call this the starting hole. Work from the outside in. Attach the hose to the plywood with the U brackets. (Keeps you from swearing in front of your grandkids when the black poly hose pops out. Learned this the hard way!) Continue making smaller and smaller circles with the black poly until you can't make another one. Make sure the poly of the final circle ends pointing toward the hole you did not start near. Feed a piece of hose through your starting hole and connect the two pieces with a connector and clamps. I double clamped mine on each side. Old Navy habit. Screw the 'wavy' plastic to the 'wavy' plastic mounts. Point the filter SW and connect the filter to the solar heater. My input is at the largest circle, and my output is from the smallest circle. Make a diverter in case the water gets too hot. I always some water running through mine to prevent a stagnation problem. Good Luck!
