Homemade solar pool heater?

Question:
I have a above ground pool and would like to make a solar pool heater for it. > Not sure how to go about it. I assume you would use black flex pipe. I may also > want to by-pass the heater sometimes. Any recommendations?


Answer:
In addition to my reply on rec.woodworking, let me add some caveats: Use large diameter pipe to and from the manifolds. Keep the supply/return runs as short as possible. It'll also work as a "cooler" if you run the pump at night! HTH.
