So i am planning on building a pool heating system using a coil of black pvc pipe 100m x 20mm. A solar storage tank may be a device which will be wont to capture daylight so as to heat the water in your pipes to be used for baths showers etc a thermal panel solar collector put in on the roof. My question is what strength fountain pump must i get to get an adequate flow from the pool up a. Use transition cement to connect the abs to the pvc elbows extending them up to approximately 4 6 below the roof line.

If you use a dark colored hose the water can get even warmer because dark colors absorb more solar energy. Although roof vents are necessary and create a balance between air exhaust and intake the water tight seals around roof vents can get damaged over time by excessive heat cold or wind. The features of this design are as follows. Most garden and hardware supply stores sell such pipes so getting them should be no problem.

Black pipe will absorb more heat myth the surface area of the sun exposed pipe on your roof is minuscule compared to your solar collector area and the pool water is travelling at such a high velocity that the heat transfer in feed and return plumbing is negligible. While fifty feet of hose is generally sufficient additional length means the water will have even more time to warm up.

You will use 2 abs pipe now as it is less expensive and it is black to attract the sun and heat.

The dark color of poly pipes gives them the ability to absorb heat from the sun. Batch process so never goes from hot to cold.
