JetSolar Evacuated Tube Solar Swimming Pool Heater

[AquathermSPH]

Agree completely with @DCVU2. This is the least cost-effective way to heat a swimming pool. There is no need to heat swimming pool water to such high temperatures. Your heat loss upon returning to the pool is incredibly high (read: inefficient). Aside from blatantly using the wrong technology for the application, most of these evacuated tubes are manufactured in China - none are NSF-listed. Buyer beware.

@AquathermSPH I disagree, I believe that this technology is the most cost effective way. These collectors are using Free radiation from the sun, and using that radiation the most efficient and effective way possible.

How do you go from 3/4" copper to the pvc? I have a collector I want to use on my pool but the collector has 3/4" copper coming out of it...

I am sorry that you feel this way. But I am confused why you think that it is not cost effective. We have made many installs this year and the pool owners are all very happy with the performance. The greenhouse effect is extremly efficient at providing heat even when the ambient temperatures are below the pool temp.

don't buy this solar collector, the pipes are for a seperate type of application. In this design you're creating a greenhouse around pipes full of liquid, but having each individual pipe encased in it's own glass tube greenhouse is not cost effective for this type of application.

some specs would be nice
