gil_happy Posted November 27, 2017 Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 Hello, After performing a quick online search for a 'propane pool heater', a number of options came back that ranged between $1100 and $2000! To me this seems quite expensive considering the price of most consumer goods has come way down in price over the years. I was wondering if anyone knows about, or has seen any type of economical homemade, or DYI propane pool heater? I currently have a 10,000 gallon, in-ground pool (salt) and I'm investigating whether or not there are any type of DYI propane based pool heaters (or any other inexpensive fuel source). It seems like there should definitely be some type of solution out there and it could be something as simple as a heating element that sits in the water (protected of course) and is heated by the propane vs something that pumps the water and recirculates it through in internal element which is what I assume these devices I found online are doing. Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephenH Posted November 29, 2017 Report Share Posted November 29, 2017 It doesn't seem like there are any tutorials or resources available to build DIY inground pool heaters and there are way many tutorials available on above ground DIY solar pool heaters costing 100$ to 200$. If you found something let us know as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gil_happy Posted November 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 Thank you for replying.... I actually already have solar panels / heating, but I was looking for something to possibly heat during the cooler months since solar isn't enough during that time.
