    You could probably add some reflective sides to the box like a solar oven. That would really add a ton of heat to the water.

      Good idea, he could also insulate the bottom of the panel with rock wool as it will radiate heat out of the panel towards the ground at the moment.

    I dont think there was anything wrong with the first one. The issue is the size, you want roughly the same area size to generate a lot of heat. You get roughly 800 BTU per sq ft per day a little more in the summer i think.
    Copper transfers heat, but sq footage is where you get it from. It pays to go cheap materials, but large size. If you do go big like 50-100 sq ft or more you want multiple loops of piping to be most efficient.
    I like the clean look.

      You could also get a black pool cover that would be dual purpose

    I hate to tell you, but that small amount of warmer water being introduced is not going to make any difference. But, if it makes you feel good and the video generates you some money, great.

      I kind of thought that after the video. I showed the temp at the end. I think some TH-camrs stretch the truth.

      I was wondering how many gallons your pool is and also what your flow rate (in gph) through the heater? Nice video

      @@markb8954 13000 gallon the flow rate is bad really not worth it.

    Could you not have kept the old one and make another one and add them together ?
