Do you want an outdoor wood burner to heat a pool?
Now you can heat your pool inexpensively with an outdoor wood burning furnace pool heater.
Have you seen Propane prices for heating a pool? Hundreds of dollars a month! Most people use it the first year and then decide that heating a pool is too expensive and the pool heater never gets used again.
We have the outdoor wood burner that YOU NEED to heat a pool, or hot tub and them let it heat your walkway or driveway, in the winter to keep it ice free!!
Our wood fired pool heater / driveway heater will do the job and do it much better, faster and for much less money than a propane (or other) unit.
It is just $5567 for the small one aka ECO-FLRH-85 and $6767 for the larger FLRPH-205 pool heater for up to 30,000 gallons and more.
Both models have the same 15 cubic food firebox but the larger pool heater has a 205 gallon water capacity vs 85 gallons. This gives you more stored BTU for heating more water. The smaller unit will easily heat a 10,000 gallon pool and the larger one will easily heat a 30,000 gallon pool.
That being said, you should know that any boiler will heat anything you want regardless of size. The only difference is how often you would load the boiler. If you have a pool larger than 30,000 gallons, there is no issue, you will just load it more often. Normally the most loading happens in the first 1-3 days when you have to load it once every 4 hours usually. After that, it is just basically maintenance mode, loading it just once a day usually.
It can also heat your domestic hot water (pool shower) at the same time - saving another $30-60 a month more! With a separate side arm or plate exchanger.
You can also heat your garage and shop as well and get free heat year round, using the extra set of ports, included!
Hooking up a swimming pool to an outdoor wood furnace
The best way is to use a Pool & Spa Kit: 1” or 3/4” fittings - This kit (see to right) was designed for Pool and Spa hookups. This will keep your pool water temperature to within 1 degree F.
It is most often used with open and closed loop systems. All fittings seen are included in the kit to simplify the order process and to get those hard to find parts. We only use high quality fittings and parts.
Outdoor wood burning furnace POOL heater kit
The kit includes a thermostat, a transformer, a dry well and a 3-way diverter valve to run water through the heat exchanger when you need heat and past the heat exchanger when you don't need any more heat.

Stainless steel shell & tube pool heat exchanger
You will also need a stainless steel shell & tube pool heat exchanger because most pools have chlorine in them. Pool heat exchangers were priced from $180 for a 4700 gallon chlorinated pool. Higher pool capacities will require a bigger heat exchanger.
Salt water pools require different heat exchanger (below)!
Titanium Pool Heat Exchanger
If you have a salt water pool, you will need a Titanium Pool Heat Exchanger.
Salt water pools will destroy a Stainless Steel Heat Exchanger in short order.
Due to the increasing popularity of salt water pools we have developed the titanium series heat exchanger which can withstand the corrosive effects of salt water. The titanium series heat exchangers are constructed of corrosion resistant titanium and are therefore suitable for salt water pools and spas.
These pool heat exchangers are priced from $665 for a 210,000 BTU heat exchanger.
Features and Advantages:
• Shell made of titanium
• Ted Abbott has the Perfect solution for salt water swimming pools
• Manufactured with titanium tubes to ensure corrosion resistance to salt water and longer equipment life.
• Nominal heating capacities up to 1,000,000 (one million) BTU/hr for pool applications
• Eliminates the need for external bypass as the whole pool flow goes through the heat exchanger
• Due to the high flow rates through the heat exchangers, they are inherently self cleaning.
