I couldn't get my 10' Intex pool above 76 degrees the year prior and last year I got it to 90 and had to put ice in it. This worked so well! I have just 1 mat hooked up to a 1,000 GPH Intex pump and it makes a significant reduction in the flow rate coming back into the pool, but that is to be expected with how far the water has to travel through the mat.

I wonder what pool water temperature they are expecting, and what server room temperature he wants. Keeping the server room at 20C or so in the summer is going to be a struggle I think, the radiator won't be able to dump much heat once the air temperature is above 15C.

you will need an expansion tank. to keep it closed loop you can get a proper one that uses a rubber membrane and a hollow section of the tank to allow for the expansion of the water (or oil if you want to cut down on leak issues with the computer, evaporation, and corrosion), though a simple bucket will work (though it won't really be a closed loop at that point). also you will need an over-pressure valve for emergencies, though it is pretty handy for maintenance if you have to drain the system and/or fix things.

Reminds me of when I used to work at McLaren's Technology Centre, I believe that's how they dissipate their heat from the building, they have a man made lake next to the building which acts as a big watercooler essentially!

Every year for the past like 6 or 7 years you guys have done something absolutely crazy like this. Something unthinkable and ingenious. And I always think "there is no where to go from here" *...and then you go there...* So keep it up, guys. I hope you guys never stop making videos.

Already do this. I use my computers as a heat load for the AC to dehumidify the house during the summer. In the winter they provide a heat loop for the rest of the house. The system works great.

As a building automation engineer this was refreshing to see with all the energy optimizations and things going on - a few things that came to mind is that u may have to get a pump with atleast 2 possible speeds, when both of the cooling circuits are open, you might want to run the pump at higher speed than with just one (this might not be neccesary but could be more efficient in dissapating heat from the servers) - also 1 handvalve for both of the circuits for balancing the flow between the two - also optional, but could prevent a situation where both electric valves are open but the water would still flow only through one of the loops (if the 1 loop has significantly more restriction than the other - if this happens it'll probably be the pool due to longer piping compared to the radiator) even if it isn't needed in the end, wont hurt to add them, just leave them completely open. Could also help in maintenance to be able to close them

In essence, a geothermal heat pump system. But extracting the waste heat from your electronics which you want cool and moving it to the cold pool that you want to heat. I don't know if the pool will get appreciably warmer, but the mass is there to cool the racks if you do it right.

This is cool, the principle of it kinda reminds me of the heating/cooling system in Norway's New National Museum, which opened last week and I was an HVAC engineer on. Combining several heating and cooling sources and controling them to achieve a given temperature set point in any given area is quite a job :D If this is going to work properly, Jake's got some work cut out for him to program this. I love the solution here :D Remember to fit a frequenzy regulated pump, so that you can have the system flow regulated, so not to need shunts to regulate the heat running in the system. It seems like your pool contractor is quite old school tho, because using flow heat exchangers is quite common in newer pools connected to heat pumps and server rooms. I was just recently involved in a project where they used server room heat to heat the warm water in an office building and ventilation heating in conjunction with a sea water heat pump to control the heating and cooling in the building. In the winter you can also run the heat from the server room through your roof panels to aid snow melting. Also, to make the system more efficient, a heat pump between the pool and server room, is a good idea. ;)

I think there are several problems to tackle, that should be considered, for this to work properly. 1)The main issue I see, is the "conflict of interest". The Water to the Hardware should be as cold as possible and the water to the pool should be as hot, as possible. 2)The pool probably isn't always filled 3)the low temperature difference between optimal hardware temperature and desired pool heating makes a direct loop basically useless for the heating part (and the plumbing has to be very thoroughly insulated; which it always should be...) 4)the contoll technology has to be very sophisticated (in this configuration) for this to work, even a bit I think, if you install 1)a buffer storage (a large high one, or even two for different temperature niveaus) you can minimize the controll tasks 2) a water/water heat pump would get rid of problem 1 and 4, but would obviously be very pricy Finally, if you get a buffer storage, you could also connect the floor heating, which is in ideal temperature niveau for the pc cooling as well something like that and some hydraulic switching and you're going to do just fine; but it would be a shame for it not to work efficiently; not worth the hassle at all, if it's not done correctly I hope you do read this, all the best

While dealing with heat pumps is definitely becoming more common in commercial systems, until fairly recently it was typically far more region dependent and anything involving a server room is not too typical in most residential housing. Dealing with server rooms is definitely far more common in the price range that Linus' house occupies but there's only so many pools that can be built for high end homes and almost none in the commercial space where such things would be more common. Unless a pool company operates in an especially affluent area or over an incredibly large area you're not going to find pool companies specializing in high end pool construction. Even then, most high end pools tend to spend their pool budget on things like decor, slides and waterfalls not whole home water cooling. Most pool companies I've encountered operate in a relatively small local area which means most pools they're building are going to be the bare bones basics.

It is a really cool project indeed Linus. But I've studied this kind of water cooling system for energy efficiency in school (I'm a renewable energy engineer), and my concern is that maybe the energy required to actually move around all that water and the control system (valves, etc.) is actually much more than the energy (heat) that is generated from your mechanical room and your solar panels (these ones don't generate that much heat, I've studied that, and you will lose a ton of heat in the transport of the water). And, to heat so much water like in your pool you need too much energy. So you will end up heating just 1 or 2 degrees in your pool :/ My advice is maybe first to calculate roughly how much heat you're going to generate from solar panels and mechanical room, and then compare it to how much you need to actually heat all that water in your pool. You'll see that you need so much more heat. And that can kind of heat can be achieved (sustainably) with solar heaters for pools. These systems are very reliable and cheap. I suggest you look into these pool solar heaters systems, and maybe implement a heat exchanger there (at the inlet of the solar pool heater). It would be cheaper and surely it would maintain your pool warm :D Sorry for my bad English haha. Greetings from México! If somebody sees this, pls like it so that Linus sees my thought :)

@ZiggyTheHamster

They're basically wanting to use the pool as a giant radiator. I think this could work and use less energy than using an air conditioner to do it, but I think the flow rate and pressure required to keep the watercooling loop working and the flow rate and pressure required to efficiently dissipate heat will be very different and this will create enough loss that no heat makes it to the pool and they're just spreading the heat across the house instead. They need a passive heat exchanger that will let them run the loops independently at different rates and pressures.

Remember to always run higher pressure on the system/side that you absolutely dont want to get comtaminated. A good idea to use PWM or frequency converter on the pumps to save energy

I posted a idea similar to this in LTT forums years ago, albeit it was for preheating hot water not warming a pool. I’m not sure if those computers will actually put out enough heat to actually make a difference in the pool. Another issue to think about is the concrete cracking due to thermal shock in the winter. i’m not sure the PC’s get that warm so may not be a issue. However the condensation they may build on his water blocks in the winter could become a major problem. He will have to do the reverse of a radiant heat system and dump heated water into the return line on the house side of the heat exchanger. Another idea I mentioned was either using standard rad and fans on the house loop in the winter to try and preheat the ice cold water before it goes into the blocks to hopefully avoid condensation

This gives me whole room watercooling vibes and I for one am glad it's coming back!

TLDR: Watch your cooling loop fluid levels carefully and take whatever action needed quickly. Good luck 👍 This is a fantastic idea, I do have concerns because I’ve been a part of pool building and plumbing since I was 5 years old. If in the future you have issues and you start to notice ‘coolant (or whatever fluid you are going to use in this loop)’ loss; cut your losses on whatever is under the pool and do the same concept on whatever the most accessible side of the pool / deck is. I say this because I’ve seen olympic size pools either sink into or lift out of the ground from leaks that put hydraulic forces under the pool, lifting it up (cracking the deck & expanding the rebar) or slowly hollowing out a void under the pool until it sinks bit by bit (sometimes taking the corner of a house with it on the slow journey) I love this idea though, mad props, hope it works for years to come!

Love it. I think this is a fantastic idea. Water cool everything!

It can take inputs from your temperature sensors and put outputs out to your valves to control everything. Super easy to do, these are also super reliable, it's what they use in manufacturing facilities to automate everything (my job is designing these systems). You would get more reliability and more control for not much more in cost. If you want more information I'm willing to help out.

With the differential of hot server room and pool-cooled radiator, it will be the most effective and efficient heat pump ever. Running those giant water loops are going to take quite bit of power and the efficiency of both heating the pool and cooling the server room will be poor.

Yeah, I was wondering if they had any reasons behind not using heatpumps.

I think by the time we see a video like this, it's way too late for any good advice.

I was amazed too he's not using an air to water heat pump to cool the room and heat the pool.

Agree, heat pump is the way to for sure.

I am 5 minutes into this video... a thought before I finish the video: Vacuum DE Filtration. You can add a filter on the vacuum side of the pool pump by using gravity to feed a filter tank... the tank is at the same depth as near the top of your pool, so the top of the pool and tank are exactly matching. An added bonus to this is you can manage your pool fill in your pumproom without more complexity (but based on what I have seen in this video so far, maybe complexity is not a concern for Linus). You wouldn't even need to actually do the filtration in this vacuum side tank, but the concept could have been used to add your heat exchange solution and kept it easy to access, not a danger to bathers, and would have been likely a lot less costly initially AND been way easier to maintain. PVC plumbing in pools are always developing cracks and get damaged over time... how long will it take for this tubing to develop a leak? Might be a lot sooner than you anticipate based on personal experience with pools and the damage I have seen to main drains due to pool pressure etc... Anyway, rant over. I'll watch the rest of the video.

I think you need to include a safety pressure valve, from water expansion, and an easy way to add water into the closed loop (water cooling down and shrinking). And it needs a pressure meter installed i think to keep track of changes.
