Return to article: How to Heat Your Pool With Solar Energy
on 7/2/2008 I was able to do this much cheaper with 1 1.5" and 3 .5" sticks of pvc pipe and some fittings. I made a manifold 10 foot long by cutting a 1.5 x20 foot pipe in half and connected the two sides with the .5" pvc using t fittings and reducers. When I got the whole thing put together it looked like a ladder with the inlet at the top left leg and the outlet at the bottom right leg. the other ends of the legs i capped off. I painted the whole thing black and laid it in the sun and connected it with regular discharge hose and a few hose clamps. Remember, If you put it on the inlet of the pump you have to use a suction hose. It heats the pool really well and only cost 40 bucks or so. Good luck!
