So, breaking it down in Canadian dollars: the Asic cost me $900, then I spent about $600 on a water cooling kit, $20 on paste, around $50 for the pump and hoses, and about $100 on a stainless steel garden hose that’s got a 5-year warranty (needed 150 ft for my setup). I’m really hoping it holds up against pool chlorine. If I'd gone for the radiator and pump from a mining store, that would’ve set me back $1000, so I think I saved a good chunk of change there. I’m losing roughly 10% of the power when mining Bitcoin, but I’m cutting my pool heating costs by 70% compared to gas. The video linked is from before I made some adjustments and added another 100ft of hose. The attached image shows what my setup looks like now.

Gave you a merit as the image posted means you did an effort to show how it works 2500 watts = around 8500 btu it may be enough for the pool

Thanks! Hopefully so, I assume running 24/7 it'll warm it up a bit, maybe make it usable in summer. Today's my first day long term testing, had router issues. https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1171538322942861342/1254559084980473886/IMG_5809.png?ex=6679eeb2&is=66789d32&hm=c34b9475bbbc1c88b789bcbe1866565a567cba624805500d94287199ec4a8c05&=&format=webp&quality=lossless&width=360&height=778

If you cover it at night it will get warmer faster and hold the heat better. Even a lower cost tarp will help. I used two sections of pipe to get it wide enough bolted the tarp to it. rolled it up and attached one end of the tarp to a safety fence. then unrolled it .  the tarp wont last a long time ,  but its a cheap fix to get the pool heated up. and keep it hot over night if you get cool at night.

Definitely, only issue is I'm incredibly lazy Well also West coast so nights are pretty warm. That and this is my moms house and shes supposed to sell in a month or two. We used to use a cover but my dad let it get overgrown with growth and I assume even if I dug it out it would be too damaged to use. Right now got the new extender on and it's running I'm going to see how much it warms up in a day.

Funnily enough as the chips get hotter I'm getting more hash per watt. 60 degrees cel was around 93th/s and now I'm around 95. 26.5 or less w/ths. Maybe its just optimizing as I leave it on longer during the day? Been on for 30 hours now.
