Hi Everyone,
New user here was hoping someone could give some advice. I was looking at building a "Solar powered" pool heater for my 24 ft above ground pool. Was going to go with the "200 feet of black hose coiled up and stuck in the sun" method. I then realized that you need a separate pump to do this.
So what I was wondering was, is there any reason I could not do this using a 200 ft coil of the return hose between the filter and the pool? I am going to keep the coil on the ground so I don't have to worry about it pumping up to the roof. Just curious if anyone has tried this? im somewhat surprised everyone seems to do it as an isolated system and am assuming there is a reason for it
