Former User with New Name - Homemade Solar Heating System

[PoolDoc]

. . . membership upgraded.

I have some of Poconos' pictures somewhere. If you really need to see them, and ask AFTER July 4th, I'll see if I can find them. But he built that system when the available plastic solar systems weren't that common. You might want to look at the roll-out solar matts that are available now, and do what Al did, but somewhat more efficiently.

Here's an example:

3/4" black poly pipe is about $3/sq-ft and 1/2" is about $4/sq-ft. Solar bear panels are about $3/sq-ft and are going to be much more efficient so why bother making your own?
