You are an idiot, All this video showed, was you putting wood inside the heater. You showed no hook ups, connectors, prices, fittings, absolutely no information at all. Take this shit off you-tube to make room for real information on whole made pool heaters!
wow ! ... hey Steve... that is just amazing ! , brilliant actually ! ... I'm super impressed. It's too bad your system isn't available in North America, I'd look into it. I always thought I could take an old wood burning stove, and have a metal pipe welded into it, just above the area where the wood would burn, and then run water through it..... this is basically the same concept you are using ?
Hi Steve, I'm pushing about 1200 gallons per hour, - figure 20 gallons per min ( approx ) .
However, - when I'm pushing 20 gallons per minute, the temp of the water coming out of the solars is about 4 or 5 degrees higher than the pool. I'm going to guess that your system is pushing much higher heat.
have you ever measured how much higher the heated return is going into the pool, above the temp of the pool water ? ... this would be very interesting to know !
the return temp coming back into the pool has been in excess of 20 degrees higher than the pool temp. In the summer when the pool was at 20 degrees we measured the return temp at 45 degrees.
My pool is 4x that size, ( approx 40,000 liters ) so that would result in maybe 6 degrees in 2 hours ? , that's pretty good. I need a 100% sunny day to get a 2 degree increase in my pool, and many times it's more of a 1.5 degree increase, ... however your wood burning system, will provide that constant increase in any type of weather, it's a nice system, very nice. 5 cubic meters per hour... oh boy, do you have any idea what that would be in gallons per hour ? or liters per hour ?
Your numbers seem spot on, i would say it would increase the pool by 5 degrees p/h. lph and gph are 5,000 liters or 1,321 gallons p/h (us gallons). As the pool temp is increase so fast, there is less heat loss than say electric / gas and as such this will work in most tempretures. Next week we are heating the pool with ambient air and pool water at about 5 degrees. We will hopefully post a video on the cold water test. thanks again for your comments. Steve
Audio volume is very low - for a professional video this is really sad :-(
- you don't say how many gpm you are shooting thru the heater, you also don't tell us how many litres are in that pool. In Canada, our pools are 40,000 liters on average for an 18 foot above ground round pool. I use solar heating and get about 2 degrees per hour increase ( not bad for free ) ... however this burner system looks good, but it's just too bad you don't have any real specs, and test results.
Thanks for your comments, the sound is not great and we are working on this. With regards to your other points, we also use solar on this pool and when the UK weather is kind we get approx 2 degrees an hour. This pool is 10,000 liters with 1/3hp pump 5 c/meters p/h. Test during the summer raised the pool tempreture from 18 degrees to 28 in just over 2 hours. We are now running tests with water temp at 5 degrees
Norton Hydro-Therm Is an American wood burning water heating system. You can see the website at nortonhydrotherm . com

I thought one of the points of owning a pool is that it is one way to keep cool when it is really hot outside.
