Hey HADave, This thread brings back memories of when I was a kid. My Dad put a 200' coil of black poly irrigation pipe (do they even make that stuff anymore?)on the poolhouse roof, covered with black plastic to heat the pool in the grey chilly Oregon summer, worked great, much better than his previous contraption, an oil drum with a 50' coil of copper pipe, burning wood scraps. That worked really well too, 'til that day it exploded.
