The Truth About My DIY Solar Pool Heater After 10 Years

This video provides a look at my DIY solar heater that has been heating our pool since 2016. Primary components are black irrigation tubing, plywood panels, PVC pipes/fittings, and 3-way diverter valve. It may not heat faster than pre-fabricated solar panels, but these are a fraction of the cost and have worked well for us. Don't forget to subscribe to see future videos that will provide a closer look at the build, design considerations and what I'd do differently.
