clean up your yard, and grow some grass were needed, and decorate the whole place with some trees and plants? Belive me when i say that you would feel much more comfortable when everything looks nice. After that you can always experiment with cheap solar power like i did.
Tip: Buy 500 feet of black PE hose. then
buy a wooden plate +- 4 foot wide and 8 feet long and screw some wooden planks
then a plexiglas plate over it, so that you getting a closed greenhouse box.
Then stuf the 500 foot hose in there, and
attach a small pump to it and your done.
I did the same for my pool and it works so good that i'm going to make 2 more this year. i have those boxes on the roof of my shed, so they are out of sight, and

#4, How about you stick to solar advice and not how I should live my life.
And yes, I've seen the black PE tubing setups many times. Just not what I felt like testing at the time. I was going for a passive/pumpless system that uses the natural movement of warmer water to rise.
It is just PVC pipe painted black and then arranged so that cold water comes in the bottom, as it warms it naturally rises upwards, the warm water moving up draws more cold water in the bottom continuing the cycle.
It worked, but I would say it was likely pretty low efficiency.

You can build a solar water heater very inexpensively using the plans at:

It worked, and that's all I cared about.
Plus, rednecks can't afford that much new PVC pipe.

Why don't you first spent some time to

Water boils at 212F. I'm not boiling water in this thing, just warming it up a little bit per cycle.

how hot does the water get? and how long does it stay hot after the sun has gone down?

Biggest thing is to shut off the valve at night to stop the flow. Else it will work in reverse and cool the water down.
Water can get to the point of steam. Did that in mine and now it is broken and warped :) Next one I will build with copper.

With a pressure release safety valve I hope :)
