Energy-Jason Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 I believe he pumps it up for thermal syphon to work the heating source has to be below the cold tank of water. It really caught my attention. Really cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Energy-Jason Posted August 18, 2019 Author Share Posted August 18, 2019 Is that amazing pipe mesh made or purchased? I also know a lot of guys wrap coils of black water pipe on roofs. Sincerely Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Louw Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 You buy them in completed panels and join them together for the size of pool you have . The panels on the photo looks homemade or badly installed . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
___ Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 On the farm in Namibia we ran two pool heating panels on a low pressure hot water system for many many years and it worked just fine. Heated 200 liters of water a day, no problem. It was eventually killed by limescale and replaced by an indirect system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Once read about a guy who wanted to heat his pool for him and his wife. So he went to the Co-Op and bought 1km of black pipe which he promptly installed in a huge "crop circle" on the ground - being a farm he had the space. Any case, he started the pump and a while later his wife complained the pool was hotter than her bath! I think he removed +-800m of the pipe before she was happy. That cheap black pipe from the Co-Op, that pipe can get you very very far to heat water as if you have a furnace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
