Question: Can I use pvc pipe as a solar heater for my above ground 15 ft pool and what size should I use?

I heard from someone that I cooould build my own solor heater using pvc pipe by laying it on my garage roof and circulating the by use of my filter pump.

Answer: You are confusing different pipe material. You don't want to use pvc, you want to use poly pipe. Not only is pvc more expensive, but you won't get it in black. It only comes in white or grey.
For a 15 ft above ground, I'd use 3/4 inch in a length of around 200 feet minimum. You need to spread the coils out a bit. Just lay them down on the roof, cut the tape and start moving the coil, like you would a stack of cards, from the top, to spread it out. Don't forget to secure them in place.
You'll need to build a bypass valve assembly for all of this. The reason being is that at night or on cold days, without a bypass, your pool water will be traveling up to a cold roof, giving off your pool heat. The by pass allows you to throttle the volume going to the solar collector and to shut it off completely at night. You can build an automated one with temperature probes and thermostat relay and motorized valve for about 250 dollars or you can go cheap and make a manually controlled one for about 25 bucks.
You just have to remember to shut the solar off every night or you'll piss off all the heat you gained back into the atmosphere.
You just need to put two plumbing Tees in your return line after your filter but before your chlorinator, if you have one. In between the Tees will be your bypass valve. The Tee closest to the filter is your "to solar". The one after the valve and before the chlorinator or pool, is your "from solar". The valve operates as a throttling device. The more it's in the closed position, the more water it sends up to the solar. In fully open, it sends NO water up there. It's easier for the filter to push it to the pool than up to the roof. In fully closed, ALL the water goes to the solar. You don't want that though. You want slow moving water going through the collector to get as much heat as possible.
The size of Tees and the size of the valve are going to depend on your existing plumbing. Probably it's 1 1/4 inch, being an above ground. So you'll need two 1 1/4 X 3/4 X 1 1/4 Tees ( three dollars) and a 1 1/4 valve, preferably a ball valve, not a gate valve (20 dollars).
Check the plumbing first before getting those parts though, you may be lucky and the guys that built it put in 1 1/2 inch plumbing. If that's the case, get your Tees and valve accordingly.
Iv'e seen many of these do it yourself solar rigs and they all work just about as well as a 1500 dollar store bought one and usually less headache to install and maintain to boot.

They can animate things and can be a good topic of conversation for guests and visitors. It will not only provide a visually attractive and beautiful backyard but relaxing as well.

Comfortable, small and rich and luxuriant the backyard water gardens can vary from almost any design you want. Just a little background on the construction of a pond backyard and just the right materials to create your private oasis.

The first step. Decide where your pond will be located.

Look for an area in your yard where there are small trees. Falling leaves are a big no-no in your pond because he can work daily maintenance. Place your Basin in an area affected by the heat of the sun. Aquatic plants need sunlight to grow. However, avoid excessive heat as this may cause some plants such as lilies die.

Another tip is to place your pond in an elevated area. This can prevent water runoff to accumulate and exceed your pelvis causing opacity and subsequent maintenance.

The second step. Arrange the area of your pond.

If you want to design your pool to the size you want it, trace the perimeter of the pond using a flexible material such as pipe watering. If you are satisfied with the size and shape of your pond, mark the area using a paint or a marker.

Step three. Use a liner pond.

Pond liners are used to prevent the pond water, fish, aquatic plants, and other content pond to escape the pond. Similarly, it also prevents non-lay materials to enter and cause dirt or excess of nutrients in the pond. Pond liners are pre-formed liners to PVC coatings. If you are willing to spend extra money, using cement will also apply.

Pre-formed liners are usually used by small ponds. These can be purchased at the supply points and pond can be easily installed after digging the pond. However, if you want to create the design and size you want, PVC liners work best. They are generally used for large ponds and complexity. Other types of coatings are available. It is best to consult your local pond contractor about this substance.

Step four. Dig your pond.

Dig your pond depending on the width and depth you prefer. Place rocks on the edges the basin liner and fill the spaces with gravel. Make this part diligently and carefully. Camouflage the area with stones, rocks or plants.

Step five. Assemble equipment.

Set filters, lighting and water supply. Make sure these are all fine function. Connect them to power and put them in places that suit them best. Remember to make a drainage system pond.

Step six. Just add water.

Now is the time to fill the pond. Observe leaks. Clean the area first, then add water to clean your pond. Place the plants to their rightful place to create a beautiful appearance. Let the plants stand at least a week, then it should add the fish. Add the fish one at a time. Fill the pond with just good quantity of fish. Consider the size of the pond and your fish. Make sure they are compatible.

And now, sit back and relax. Give yourself a pat on the back for a job well done!

More on Water Pressure:

There are two different types of pressure washing. One type uses cold water for cleaning and other uses hot water for power additional cleaning without the need to apply more pressure. So What you should know about those various cleaning methods and you need?

The first thing is to clarify what is meant by the terms hot and cold clean water. Know the difference will help you understand and agree that you will need.

To provide pressure hot water cleaning that you need a specific type of pressure washer with a burner that will heat the water supplied. These burners usually run on kerosene or diesel, but can also be powered by natural gas or electricity. They are capable of heating water over 200 degrees so we must be careful when using this equipment. These machines are typically large and can weigh over 1,000 lbs.

Most Cold water machines are much smaller and portable because they do not drive and the temperature of the water supplied is constant. This makes these types of pressure washers much safer for the do-it-yourself enthusiast.

The main difference between these machines depends on the substrate you want to clean. Please understand that you can not simply clean with pressure washers, especially when it comes to hot water systems. Here are a few different elements of each of these cleaning techniques can be used for May

1. Pressure washer hot water are excellent for cleaning impervious surfaces like concrete and is the best way to remove gum and oil stains without causing damage. Washers Water hot are excellent for commercial cleaning applications. They allow a more thorough cleaning of driveways, sidewalks and walkways that help customers present a clean image from the moment they arrive.

2. Pressure washer cold water are excellent for cleaning residential applications. In combination with the proper know, they are ideal for cleaning all types of coatings such as vinyl, drive, stucco, and aluminum. Until there no gum or patches of oil, cold water also great for cleaning porches, driveways, patios, pool decks and much more.

Hot water does nothing better than cleaning systems for cold water to parts of your home such as siding. This means that there no advantage for a landlord to use this type of cleaning method. The only advantage is for the master, as in some cases it can accelerate the cleaning process and save time. This is a savings that is not generally be passed on to the owner of the house either.

Most business applications require specific cleaning removing gum and oil. There is no better way to remove these without causing damage than a slice of hot water under pressure.

The type of pressure washing method you need depends actually whether or not you are a homeowner or a business owner with what it is that you must clean it specifically. So now you know the difference, you will not have to worry about paying for a service you do not need.
