We have decided on an inground pool to replace our Intex after 6 or 7 years of service. She was a good pool but its time to go inground and heated. LOL • The new pool construct...
Short video of how I hooked up the GAME solar water heaters to a solar powered water pump. With this flow rate the water coming out is 4 to 5 degrees warmer than the water going in.
It was early June and the outside temps were probably 85 and the pool does seem to be 2 or 3 degrees warmer than this time last year (they have been hooked up for over a month now). If you decrease the flow rate the water will get actually very warm but as far as thermal transfer to the pool you probably wouldn't gain anything.
These things get bad reviews on Amazon and I understand why. If you used a hi flow high pressure pump as suggested in the instructions I doubt there would be any heat transfer at all. But with this little solar water pump the pressure and flow are pretty low and I think its allowing them to work as advertized.
If you were to use a similar setup at a cabin to heat up maybe 40 gallons (continuous circulation) for hot water I have no doubt it would work great.

Update, this weekend we had temps in the mid to high 90s and the water exiting the heater was over 10 degrees warmer. Its actually working very well in my opinion.
Looks great and it’s free!
Nice setup. Do you have a link for the pump and the Sun panel?
Any chance you could share a link to the solar panel you used? thanks
Thanks for watching, if you have any questions place post them and Ill try to answer.
How many gallons per minute is the pump?
Hi could I ask what solar pump you used...as it seems to be 38mm connections
I have to run the bypass because the water gets too warm. I'm using 2

Good work. !! Just wondering if you know your video was used in another video to demonstrate that type of heater unit. ??

LOL thats pretty funny.
Great idea. Can you share the link on the pump and solar panel.
So what was your final conclusion on how your setup worked? Was the 1/2 piping enough? I would like to convert my 3 solar heaters to a solar pump so i dont have to worry about turning the the pump off in colder shady days

You wired the pump directly to the panel? No controller? Trying to put a setup together off amazon.
Free, except for the price you pay for it. Shouldn't the hot water be coming to the bottom of the pool and the cold water be picked up at the top? To make it circulate and mix?

Yep. He would want to extend the input pipe to the bottom, since piercing the side to install an inlet is likely to cause leaks.
My works too. Used Avasva handbooks and build it with no problems.
Nice video, does the plumbing come with it ?

It comes with some fittings but not much of anything else in regards to plumbing.
what kind of solar pump was it, and would you recommend buying one.

It was a 12 volt solar pump on Amazon. Its still running strong so yes I would recommend. :-)

What about when your in it do you turn pump off?
Have you got the links or what I need to replicate your set up, perfect set up

The links I had no longer work but everything was purchased on Amazon except the plumbing.
