solar pre heat for pools [RE-wrenches]

[Dean T. Newberry]

A friend of mine put PEX tubing in the slab to cool the deck at George
Lucas home many years ago, The technology is well worked out, but the
chlorine attacks the PEX and copper. Use a pool water heat exchanger and
propylene glycol loop with expansion tank and air scoop in the deck
cooler circuit. Use the radiant floor standards for layout and circuit
sizing.
