Roll Copper
Homemade swimming pool heater?
I am thinking about making a heater that would use a wood fire to heat water running through rolled copper tubing and then running the heated water back into the pool?
Any thoughts, suggestions or ideas?
It's been done. Nothing new. There's even a company that makes wood fired pool heaters. I've installed one. They work fine other than they require a little work to keep the pool heated.
To do what you propose actually is a modification of a home made solar heater. The only difference in the plumbing is that your heat exchange pipe must be metal and not poly pipe and transition to cpvc (heat resistant type of pvc) and then to poly or pvc. The bypass valve set up is the same. You just need two T fittings and a ball valve along with the associated pipe to run to the heater.
Install one T after the filter ( the outlet). Then install the ball valve and then the remaining T that then hooks back into your original plumbing. You'll have something that looks like this. -----L-----X-----L.
The L's are the Ts and the X is the ball valve. Go from the top of each L to wherever your heater is in a loop.
The ball valves purpose is to throttle the water flow going to your heater. Too fast and it won't pick up heat correctly. Too slow and you'll cook something. Partially closing the ball valve causes a back pressure, causing the water to do a 90 at that first 90 and head to your heat source, where it picks up heat and runs back to the second 90 degree fitting and back to the pool return line. If you have some form of automatic chlorinator , just make sure that your new plumbing set up is between the filter and it,. That way you'll avoid having raw chlorine dumped into that expensive copper heat exchanger you made and it'll last for years. Don't do that and it may not last a season before the copper corrodes.
That's it. Now you just need to figure out how you'll create the heat exchanger and fuel container given whatever materials you have at hand.
