DIY Solar Water Heater Full Build

I made a DIY solar water heater for a friend that needed it for him and his family's jacuzzi! After doing a ton of research and getting a ton of help from RC Insider (who made a great video on this with a full supplies list), I went for it myself! I made this water heater with: 1/2" exterior plywood 1/16" acrylic sheet 2x4x8 KD doug fir 2x4x8 Treated doug fir (though I wish I did 4x4) 8" zip ties 500' roll of 1/2" irrigation tubing 1/2" tube to hose connectors Brass tube to hose connector 5/8" water hoses A water pump Lag bolts and nuts Black latex exterior paint Pocket hole screws Deck screws Tite Bond III wood glue ... and I think that's it! I wasn't able to see it in person, but my friend shot me pictures (that are also in this video) of how a temperature reading of 120 degrees for the water coming out of the water heater and his current weather was 83 degrees! Couldn't be more happy with that result since I thought I would be lucky to get 90/95 degree water. Lots of lessons learned on this project since I usually do 100% woodworking furniture projects. Also, shout out to my friend Ryan Geery! Without your help, I would not have been able to complete this project! Hope you enjoy the build!
