Do It Yourself Solar Power For Your Pool?

Building your own solar pool heater is a great do-it-yourself project if you want to add solar to your home. You do no need to get a lot of over priced equipment or tools. And you will not need highly technical skills. Here is a easy explanation of the process and benefits so you can decide if you want to go for it.

This project could pay you back in as little as 2 years. This is because you will be saving the cost of gas to heat your pool. And the cost of equipment for making a solar pool heater is less than with many other solar diy projects. You will also be saving the cost of installation if you decide to go ahead and do that yourself.

You will need to get a hold of some parts: solar collectors, piping, a controller and a diverter valve. You will not need to build or buy a storage tank, since your pool already stores the water. And you won't need to pruchase, build or install a circulating pump, since your solar pool heater will use your pool's circulating pump.

Here is a simple explanation of how the system works. As the water moves from the pool it gets heated by the solar collectors before getting pumped back into the pool.. This is called an open loop design. The controller allows you to select the hottest temperature you want the pool to reach. And the diverter valve either sends water back to the pool if it is already warm enough, or over to the collector to be heated as needed.

The solar collector is a simple system of black polypropylene UV-resistant tubing. The choice of materials is important so that the tubing doesn't break down from exposure to the sun or from exposure from the chlorine in the pool. Done correctly the material could last up to 20 years.

Although it is tempting to think of doing it all yourself, including making the solar collector, it is really easier and more cost effective to buy ready made collectors for your project. The reason is that adhesives will not stick to polypropylene, and the equipment you would need to thermal weld it would cost more than buying the ready-made collectors. Also, experts suggest against using a less expensive rubber or plastic tubing that will break down too quickly because of exposure to the sun and chlorine.

You also may consider buying a kit to install rather than doing all of the work yourself.. You will still need to plan, measure and install your system. And you will be able to enjoy the fruits of your work for many years afterwards.
