Any amount of water in the pipes creates steam, and unless you are breaking out the OXY tourch and melting the pipes you have a helluva time breaking the solder.

Re: Redneck Pool Heater
My wife uncle took and his old fuel tank from the farm (500gal or something like that) cut a door in it, ran about the same amount or more copper pipe in it.
All you do is a few big logs, and a small tree, 1/2 gallon of diesel and he got the same effect!
Nothing like taking the tractor back to the bush to chop down a tree to heat the pool!!! No Kidding!
That's more redneck!

I`ve also read how ppl use the same tech. but work as a air condition unit. putting the hoses DEEP DEEP underneth the house, then run the water throught use a small considensor in the house and put a fan in front of it
