Redneck Pool Heater...(You'll laugh, then say DAMN!)

Solved my leak problem. I needed some pipe-thread to hose-thread adapters. Damn, the price of all of these fittings is killing me! I also ordered a pump yesterday. I think I will add another layer to the heater. It currently holds about 1.3 gallons, and another layer will put me right near 2 gallons.

mameotron:
Heh, you're right!  I laughed at first, couldn't believe you were building one, but now I can't stop thinking about this.  DAMN!

shardian:
Still waiting on my pump to ship. Damn Amazon has spoiled me the last year with Free shipping that is just next day/2day speed. I guess they wised up and are back to delaying FSS by a week. It's only fitting that I used a 'redneck alignment system' for a redneck pool heater, shown in the second pic. It was tough to hunt down a metal bottom paint can too!

Anyways, here are a few construction pics. I haven't taken a pic yet of the completed project.






shardian:
Well I got the pump in, set it up with a y-splitter to control flow (the splitter allows the pump to operate full blast, while I only diverta portion to the heater), and got solar pool cover. Seems I was ready to put this thing to use...and then the rain started. It has pretty much rained non-stop all week!

Oh well, at least I snapped a picture!


ChadTower:

Well if nothing else you got some good practice in soldering pipes.   ;D
