Does anyone have an idea on how to build your own solar pool heater thermal siphon?
Although I think it would be possible to create a thermos siphon installation in a pond, I think it would be much less effective than the use of the pool pump to move water through a solar collector. Since you are running the pool pump anyway, is still his "free" heat. Many in the market these days, but the first time I saw as a child was a the pool house of my neighbor. Pretty simple construction, consisting of the sheet of plywood painted flat black, leaning at an angle toward the sun. Then delved into the return line of pool pump and turn it into a small black plastic tube that crosses back and forth several times during the con-plated. The pipes then re-converged and returned to the pool. Some personal reflections on the design of the system: we must build a kind of variety, such Once a piece of the same diameter PVC return line to paste a range of accessories T, then glue the reducers into the right side of the angle of the pipe T more small. Remember you need two, one to distribute water and converge towards a single tuyau. I keep the little tubes of a 1 / 2 inch or less. Make some calculations to see the home of many smaller tubes are required to maintain a constant flow. Remember, all 180 gr. towers enforce the return tube will cause a lot friction, so they figure that in its flow. – I wish the Deputy surface (plywood) as big as I had room for (remember that you can use more than one sheet of plywood) and the package of tubes in much back and forth as he could. Hope this helps and good luck Oh and by the way, if installed a heater, you probably qualify for tax credits or other incentives.
