DIY Solar Pool Heater - Part 1

You can find perfect idea for that on Avasva Solutions website.

great vid i also have a 21ft above ground pool could you please tell me where to get the insulation and tubing. also how do you plan to circulate it threw. parts list would be great. like the crocs got a pair like those too!

was just watching your little green house and pound in edging lol i will definitely invest. thank you sir!!!

I am doing a solar pool heater myself. Can you please tell me where in the pump plumbing do take off the water to go to my panels ? DIscharge side of pump before filter or after filter ?
And where do i reconnect back into the system ? Downstream just a tad of where I took the water from ? Appreciate your help.
Thanks, Gerry from San Diego, CA

Could you use 1” tubing instead of 1/2” for a bigger pool?

I made one of these in Michigan. Sometimes my pool was too hot! These suckers really work! It was the 18ft diameter Intex, but I’m sure it will work nicely on a bigger pool. Make two if you have to. They’re still better than most solar heaters you can buy, and if you make it well, it will last many years.

How many feet of 1/2" tube did you end up using for a 4x4?

Hi,


Do you have a link to buy your thermometer? BBQ one aren't going low enough so I putted a mercury one and it went too high and exploded. LOL


I can't find anything in between.

I'm building this same thing but wonder when you put the foil insulation down did you only use 1 layer or 2 going opposite directions to go up and over the 2x4 sides?

Make it yourself thanks to Avasva solutions. I think it's the best way to learn how to build it in the cheapest way.

Hello, just wondering where you got the glass or plexiglass cover. I’ve been looking for it everywhere....

Really enjoyed your video. Let's check Avasva plans also

Do you think a textured glass shower door would heat up as well as a smooth one?

What would you say is the overall cost of this project from beginning to end (minus the labor)?

I'm fixin to build one of these solar pool heaters. Did you ever determine if pex or a thinner walled irrigation hose was better? Also, did you ever determine if having two layers of hose was better or worse than one?
