Pond Solar Heating?
Ok I know that "Spring has sprung" and all - but my pond does get a lot
of shade and warms up slow. I have wondered about the idea of a using solar heat from a roof top collector to warm the pond to a better temp and extend the active season for my finned friends. Not that I have actually done more than thinking about it - living is coastal BC is about the worst place next to Washington state for hours of sun shine anyway. But I thought if nothing else maybe it would be an interesting thought experiment and who knows maybe someone out there has tried it. I am thinking that one would need a water/water heat exchanger because circulating pond water up through a collector would grow algae and clog I am sure. Crazy idea? what do people think? Cheers. |
