Hi all,
New here. Have seen a lot of information about making a solar heater from irrigation tubing. I'm going to use a 4x8 piece of plywood With 2 Coils of irrigation tubing approximately 4 feet in diameter, next to each other on the plywood which will all be painted black.
From everything I’ve read regarding Thermo dynamics it seems as though you want a fairly good water flow moving through the tubing, not a very slow rate of water.
my pool is a 3500 gallon pool and I am trying to determine what size and type of pump to use to get a proper flow rate for the best possible raising of the pool temperature.
can anybody give me any suggestions. I will probably be using between 400 and 500 feet of half inch black irrigation tubing.
I am not sure whether to use a submersible pump or other type of Pump either.
Thank you!
