I just installed a DIY solar swimming pool warmer. With the cooler than normal weather this year, my pool is still pretty cold. Hopefully it will be 5 to 10 degrees warmer by this weekend.

Bro I want to do this so bad. I live in a place where I get 3 months out of my pool tops without a heater.

My pool is a lake across the street, so I get July and August.

Two 100 foot rolls of 1/2" black irrigation tubing and a slow moving in-line pump. If you can coil the pipe on a board painted black, covered with glass, even better.

Yeah I've been looking at different ways. Just really want to see if it will extend the season a bit. The solar cover keeps me good when it's sunny. But after a rain, if it heats the water faster it would be worth all of it. It's shitty when you're gonna hang by the pool on a Saturday and it rains Thursday night and you can't get it back fast enough with a cover.

I meant two 100 foot rolls. Sorry.
