2. Which Solar Pool Heater? - Homemade Vs Purchased

Now I've made my own Solar Pool Heater (here    • 1. How to make a Solar Pool Water Hea...  )...
How does it Compare with a Purchased one?

PLEASE LIKE and SHARE ;-D, THANK YOU, this helps me make more content like this, and most importantly, stay safe.

CALCULATION MISTYPE ERROR - There is a mistype at 04:28 that shows 165Wh where this should have shown 165W/h (165W per hour) for the dome and 290W/h for the homemade panel as I wanted to show average power consumed over a 1 hour period for both devices. The actual Wh values would be calculated as: -
Wh = Joules / (60 x 60) - 60 seconds times 60 minutes
Wh = Joules / 3600 - 3600 seconds
Wh = 885,780 / 3600 = 246.05 Wh consumed over 1.5 hours for the Dome
Wh = 1,565,760 /3600 = 434.93 Wh consumed over 1.5 hours for the Panel
(Thank you for pointing this out Wouter 👍)

** June 2021 Update ** I have almost finished the second homemade solar panel from all the comment suggestions; this using mini-bore copper pipe mounted to an aluminium plate sprayed matt black on insulation material, then mounted within a wood frame with a glass sealed unit to keep the heat in. Please Subscribe and click the bell to find out if this one performs better. Thank you 😃.

In this video, I go into as much detail as needed so you can make an informed decision. Which one will you choose?

Here I show the following: -
How to calculate the energy output of each panel in Joules.
How to calculate Joules to KWh (Wh).
How much will a Solar Water Heater heat a 10ft (3.05m) pool over 7 days in the UK (calculated in Spring 2020)?
How much water each Solar System holds.

Plus I have only just realised that both panels Watt-hours reduce over the 1 and half hour test in the video, therefore if I added more water to the system, the Watt-hour value would be higher :-). I may put this in a part 3 and show some improvements to the panel.
