    Cpvc for pool heating
    Would cpvc be good for pool heating. I am thinking about using 1.5 inch pipe, paint black. But to put this on top of a patio covering so I can also have shading under the patio and water heating above. Will this work?

    HI Jerry

    CPVC is expensive, but should do the job here... ;)

    Before proceeding, however, check with your local plumbing supply store as they make a newer UV reisistant PVC pipe that may work well here... cheaper, too, for sure!

    Pools heated by sun are nothing new but you will need a heck of a lot of piping and lots of sun to maintain any real heat. I bought a kit that had large sheets of plastic with tubing built in, put it on top of my screened room. The pump had a real struggle lifting the water and extra 12' up to the roof, really slowed down my volume.

Need some feedback on a pool heating idea. Need suggestions. [ 1 Answers ]

:confused: I have an idea to heat my swimming pool by using my oil run boiler in the house (system currenlty runs 4 heating zones, but has the capacity for 8)... if I do this, the pool would probably run off one of the existent zones or I would put in its own zone valve. I would like some opinions...
