Thinking of using my domestic hot water coil in my wood boiler to heat my pool for the summer. Does anyone know if this will work or am I wasting my time?

Swimming pools need a huge amount of heat. A typical pool heater is around 200,000 to 400,000 BTU, while a typical water heater might be 30,000 BTU.

I have known people to use a wood fired boiler with success, they were both 24' round above ground pools. Make sure it has a SS coil that your pool water runs through and that your lines can handle the temperatures. If I remember the Btu ratings were around 100,000-150,000.
