In this video I share many details related to the design and operation of the system that I use to heat up our swimming pool. The system includes a wood boiler, an oil fired boiler, and a propane powered auxiliary add-on option. On May 31st, 2022 in Wisconsin, I was able to successfully heat 10,000 gallons of swimming pool water to over 100° F for the family to enjoy, and it was all done with free fuel as on that day I did not use the propane option.

i like this set up very much, seems like the best bang for your money solution.

I'm going to need be out of fuel after next season and don't work where I get fuel oil free any longer. I'll have to consider my options at that point. For now though, this system has worked great! Thanks for watching!

Nice set up! I've done similar things over the years too with our kids pools. This year I am planning on insulating the whole pool with insulation boards including the top, so it will be like a giant hot tub. I got fed up with spending all day heating the pool and then losing all the heat overnight.

Yes, nights are a killer! Also, when my family of girls gets excited about swimming so I fire up the heater and then when its 95° in the pool they say they don't want to swim because it will mess with the timing of the their hair plans, that's another gasping opportunity. Keep up the fight out there Damian!

That's my idea too

excellent! We are in Madison WI and looking to extend our pool season as well. For now I'm trying to configure a 120v that can heat 2000 gallons. Our new pool is 3800 so not sure how much value that will add. It's not cheap either way!

There's a reason only people with healthy pocket books have pools and pool heaters. Yes, it takes a lot of energy! Thanks for watching.

Thanks for the video, my plumber was just here to do this so I’m ordering the parts, I have a wood boiler and heat my domestic hot water in the summer as well with an endless supply of firewood waste that I have from my sawmill and woodlot. So adding the system to heat the pool should be great. We were wondering what exchanger to buy but this answered the question, I have a 27 foot round pool . Can you direct me to a good exchanger ? Amazon ? Thanks again your video is excellent

Amazon is fine just look at the size of the fittings and make sure it's for pools. If you get one that isn't for pools the chlorine will eat it up. Good luck!

So how many face cords of wood do you use to heat the pool for a season?

I only use the heater on certain days of the year, I don't run it 24/7. The heat loss of the pool is tremendous and I feel like it is a huge waste to keep the pool warm at all times. I usually burn about 6 pallets of wood per summer plus about 50 gallons of fuel oil. If I ran it all of the time I'd likely use 10-15 times that.
