Wood Burning Pool Heater - My Version (Using Vogelzang Kit)

This is my take on the other one posted here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1N3rgVpTnT0

I used 3/4" copper and did all the soldering to decrease the back pressure and increase the flow rate. It works like a charm, with a steady fire water coming out at 5-7GPM is 105-130F, with just ember's (which for me is about an hour aftersteady burning, lasting about 1-2 hours ) 85F to 100F. I have to refill about every 2-3 hours.

**NOTE** something to consider I hadn't thought much about is the energy this can produce should your pump stop while a fire is going. I found out the hard way with a power outage that the water in the line will turn to gas, and when the power kicked back on and cold water hit it, the long route meant the energy couldn't escape fast enough and it blew with quite a bang. I suggest have an idea what you will do when the power goes out. I have backups to pump the water, and am working on a solenoid I will be putting on the outlet that will close on a power outage, and requires manual opening. So when the power comes back on, no water flows through until I can cool it down or let it go out **
