    I tried a waste oil burner with copper coil but it’s a pain to find oil it worked but alot of upkeeping, so I am going to try your advise I bought 182m (600ft) of (25.4mm) 1″ black poly pipe to start with, I have a spare pump to use, but I am a little worried that the pump is going to push the water to fast through the pipe unless I put a ball valve and choke it off, but when I do that I may damage the pump. you mentioned that a larger pipe would work better, any suggestions.

    Hi. I get an increase of ten degrees celcius with a flow rate of ten litres per minute. The black tube walls are fairly thin.

    jorgerojo73 …The plastic piping is polypropylene piping used for gardening. I used 19mm and I think 16mm would work fine. You would need to make sure that your pump wouldactually get the flow through 16mm or buy a dedicated pump for this … you can find them on ebay fairly cheap. It is amazing how much piping I used in the roll that you see in the video. Try buying four or five hundred meters to start and see how that goes.
