We had a day of rain and the pool temp dropped just below 80f, I like going in with the kids but I don't like cold water, turned on the old diy 80000btu convection heater and it warmed up the pool to 86f in around 2 hours. I love this thing! #modernhomestead #diy #diypoolheater #pool #poolhack #heater #redneckpoolheater

Nice man. The pickup pump is a good idea that way it’s not hard plumbed into the system.

Looks like a nice system you have, unfortunately my wife doesn't like smoke otherwise I'd give it a try. I'm leaning towards a solar system with a solar powered pump. No wood or added electric bill and pretty much maintenance free. Looks like it works for you though and that's all that matters.

There no s'more with this, it runs on propane

@@modernhomesteadfarm yeah I knew what you meant , how much propane you burn a week to get pool up to temp / maintain? Cause I might go your route if it isn't to Costly.

Question can you just do away with the ball valves and run the rubber hose to the copper line and use 2 ring clamps? Is the black hose the garden hose?

@modernhomesteadfarm Ай бұрын

The valves adjust the tempature, slows. The water in the heater

Great idea, what was the copper coil you used? Wondering if flexible HVAC copper will work?

It's pretty much what I used 50ft of flexible 1/2

Mr Heater Makes one, the copper inside is flexible copper pipe from a plumbing store, the end are just 2 spigots

So you open up the heater and wrap the copper around it correct? I love this idea and want yo give it a shot... What if i can't get my hands on a convection heater that is 80k btu but only like a 40k

No, the hoses you have connected to the copper.

@@DakotaSwain-sp2vt it's either a half inch hours or 5/8 hose it won't make much of a difference make sure you shoot the copper out far enough from your heater or else the garden hose will melt
