I give you the Hillbilly pool heater. Had a propane pool heater but dam that cost like $1.400 per year to fill. So I took the dam thing and built a fire under it. Good thing... it did heat the pool to like 79 degrees it was 68! I don't get in till it's 82 degrees or better. With the solar cover it is now 4 days later 83 degrees. Bad thing It took 10 hours of stoking the fire and smoking up the neighborhood, it put flakes of metal in the pool from the heater. At one point the dam thing was rocking and making such a noise we thought it would shoot to the moon! At the hottest the water went in at 74 and came out 90 degrees! Next will be solar heater put on roof.
