I want to make a home made solar heating system for my pool. Not full winter heat but hoping to add a month to each side of my swim season.
I have a guest house with a south facing roof that is the back of the house with an alley. Appearance is not going to be an issue.
I am planning on running either black poly pipe or painted PVC up and down the pitch of the house - as much weight as I can get away with.
Question is, should I just constantly circulate water through my pipe coils or should I set up some sort of on off switch where I leave the water resident until it reaches a certain temp and then vacate to the pool?
Roof to pool is about 50' underground.
Real talk.
