Hi,
After much pressure from children I am seriously looking at getting a
The Sister in law purchased one 5 years ago and I have to say in terms of £ / unit pleasure / year it's been very good value....though it's now at the end of it's life.
The main negative is that it's darned cold. Children seem relatively immune, but for me the temperature removes the fun.
I am however the proud owner of a HUGE pile of oak logs after some recent tree maintenance. I reckon there are multiple Gigajoules of energy therein.
Any suggestions as to how to transfer this energy from logs to pool? It takes the edge of a G&T when your body core temperature gets too low.........
My thoughts:
2nd hand log burning stove with back boiler > Indirect HW tank > pool. I have however been told in the past that it's not good to have pool water passing through copper pipes. Something to do with ions !?!?! Is this true or is it horseshit?Any other ideas or suggestions?
(BTW I have a Solar plan too)
