how big is your pool? In ground? This is interesting, I looked at a solar thermal system for my pool but it looked a little rinki dinky. Id be wondering the equation on the pool, length of tube to gallon of size of pool.

Yes a pool in Calgary not normal but neither are me and the wife, she wanted one real bad. I told her if she doesn't use it I make it into a shark tank.
Speedos are forbidden in or around the pool. I'll post these pics because I am proud of the stone path work and concrete I did last summer as well as the bbq I did this year. this being a DYI form I think I'm safe. Thanks for the info stircrazy

You jest need a little add-on for a smoker and it's meat heaven. Oh, and the pool is sweet too.

the sizing I found is basicly gal/10 gives you the amount of feet you should need. then you can add from there. I have about 1/2 of what was recomended as I wanted to try it first and 400-500 feet is a good amount to make a coil using 8 foot 2x4s for the frame. I calculated the initial BTU output at 6023/hr but that was with a flow rate of 1.2L/min. I niticed the inner 1/2 of the coil was still getting quite hot so there was waisted energy there, so yesterday I upped the flow by going to a mag 3 instead of a mag 2. now you can still feel a bit of temp difference but the inner tubes are warm instead of hot which means I am getting more heat into the water now, so I might be getting a little more power out of it. Sence this test was sucessfull I am going to buy another 400 feet of tube and add another coil in parallel. If it didn't work I was just going to use the tube next spring for drip iragation for the garden Steve
