I’m in the process of doing this for 20,000 gal, in ground pool. This is the best video explaining how to do it so far. What’s the chances of you selling the copper already looped to drop into a metal barrel?
I think you should downsize your pool : ) Amazing work though. I do wonder though, isn't there a way to get a stove burner to simply touch the water (of a water tub - jacuzzi size) with perhaps just the chimney passing through the water? and thus dispense with the complication of water exchange for those of us without such fitting skills?
I did something similar a few years ago, I believe the chlorine reacts with the copper. Turned my daughters blonde hair green. Had to drain all my water to get rid of the copper in the pool. hopefully that doesn't happen to you
We have had good luck with the pool heater. No green hair. Burn through lots of wood. If it was enclosed to keep the heat in, it would work better, but we want the camp fire appeal. Good luck with the green hair. We keep our chlorine below 8 parts per million and we’re also 53,000 gallons. Not sure if volume has anything to do with it. My daughter and wife use some fancy shampoo that is suppose to help with pool chemicals.
love your Viszla snoopin around the pool
I think your loosing too much heat. The heat goes up. Great video.

my pool is only 5000 gallons. this will be amazing. smaller pool is easier for sure.

Well is it still working
It’s still working well! I’ll try to make a follow up video this fall. Heat exchange is still 9-10°f . Gaining roughly 3° a day when used.
Hot water rises I would have flow on the bottom and return on the rop
Shouldn't that water be frozen at 32°!?
I don’t even have a property yet I’m just planning for the future, this is great
