Heating a Swimming Pool with Immersion Cooled Bitcoin Miners ASICs 

IMPORTANT UPDATE!!! That particular brazed plate heat exchanger is the wrong thing. Chlorine eats copper brazing, so it would eventually leak and mix pool water into my ASIC tank. You need to look up an all stainless steel heat exchanger for pools. Thank you!

I find that every video you put out is awesome! Especially this one, great job!

This is the best thing I've seen, as I have already been looking into pool heaters.

Cheers!!! What an awesome video. Thank you! Looking forward to update on pool temps!

Cool to hear this creative approach and update on multiple attempts! Air cooled mining can work for heating bit needs quite a bit of modding to make them quiet.

I was a little concerned about the mixed reviews, but I used it last year and hooked it up again this year and it was great ru-vid.comUgkx-izdrK3eF-HMvjzeBOxToD6Fx-4ulJUh . I couldn't get my 10' Intex pool above 76 degrees the year prior and last year I got it to 90 and had to put ice in it. This worked so well! I have just 1 mat hooked up to a 1,000 GPH Intex pump and it makes a significant reduction in the flow rate coming back into the pool, but that is to be expected with how far the water has to travel through the mat.

"Like a dragon"😂😂😂 Great video and great work as always🤩

You have me wanting to put a pool in my backyard and pump all the heat from my shed into it!! Keep the videos coming

Keep up the Great work! every time I circle back to your vids you have heaps more subs!

I love watching your subscription base going up!

“Win some lose some”. Overall Best video I’ve seen this far.

Idk why but Iv always wanted to do this. And seeing u do it. Just makes me wanna do it more.

I love seeing the progression...

You're great. I just about couldn't stop laughing, although I doubt I could have done better myself. Thanks for all the great info. I wonder what the final cost was to put this water cooling invention together.

Very cool man. Can't wait to see the next step of the journey.

all your diys are so chaotic i love them hahahaha

This is incredible. This could make it possible to keep tropical fish in an average pond

Super cool! Loving your videos. Reach out if you're ever in Sarasota!

Thank you very much for your great videos! I have learned a lot from you in the last few months! A quick question, how noisy is the pump? Thanks!

Modern day mad scientist !!

You might want to cover the top of the tanks to prevent dust and other stuff going in.

I really enjoy these videos. This guy has the kind of dry humor that I enjoy. No offense intended. Was that wrong? Anyhow, good work!

Has the pool equalized in temperature yet? I'm sure you have been taking temps to see where outside heat loss matches the input from the mining heater.

Another great presentation!

What an adventure !!! Love it !

I can't imagine having an open fluid system without some kind of filtration. I'm curious what this fluid looks like after a year. I'd add filtration to those over flow holes.

Tried this in my bathtub. Sending this from the hospital. Forgot to get out of the bath first.

Wow amazing. Subbed.

great content and experiment thanks for sharing the materials in the video most over looked aspect of this is materials used

This is exactly what I was looking for! I got the mineral oil in a fish tank w an S9 working! On to this for my 6 s19!!!!

This is really cool. what would be more officiant is using the pools pump that circulates the water to enter and exit a heat exchange. then the water would discharge from the pool jets and one less pump to operate. great work

this is soooo cool.... I have been thinking of how great these would be during winter time to heat up inside of house

Love watching this project! So fascinating!

Amazing video again! Loved it!

Great job on the project and video! I don't do mining, but your videos are amusing.

Any idea what the energy/Kwh draw is on the electric to run it?

If nothing else, you are an amazing scientist.

Can you post a link to the tanks you used?

If you had a salt water pool would you still need the stainless steel heat exchanger?

I saw the title of this video and I had one thought. "HELL YES"

Awesome build. Can't believe you tried to put your mouth on the pipe lol. Could you link your 2 toolboxes that you used?

Consider installing vents at the highest point where the pipes run. The next time you start the system, you won't have to cut the tubing. Greetings from DCX :)

bro your videos are amazing

Getting better, I look forward to version 25 followed by the video how I sold my house to pay for cooling solutions. At 500 watts for future graphics cards I look forward to crazy cooling solutions making a comeback. I remember seeing people putting gpu water coolers through concrete slabs.

Awesome video !!!!!

Is there a company that makes containers for immersion?

Hey bro. Can i ask one quistion. Will you still keep mining with the oil cooling system?

Dude...did you submerged even the RJ45 network connections??? Well, it´s nice to hear you used bitcool. Congrats. I love a video like this, with all the messy things. Thanks for sharing.

When those type of heat exchangers fail it’s usually a leak that causes the 2 fluids to mix. I would think about a system to monitor that. I image pool water in your cooling tank would fry your miners. Proof testing your heat exchanger periodically wouldn’t be a bad idea.

I subbed just because you did this. Well done. This is pretty genius. Funny thing will be if the crypto earned will have paid for it all

I didn’t understand half you said, but enjoyed the video a lot. Do you have filters in your cooling system? Would it not collect dust and mud in the coolant?

What tank are you using/materials? These look like electrical control cabinets ? Thanks for all the awesome videos, love the honesty of them showing all the issues etc

Can you draw a diagram of the pipes in the paper and put at the end of this video? Because it's confusing to see in the video 4:59 how it turned out, because now there are 2 buckets. Great video, you can now set up a swimming pool heating company. Hahaha

So I ordered the pump and rad - thanks - any tips on finding the water tight metal boxes?

I like it.

if sugars or starch would be mixed in that mineral oil, would that affect the cooling properties of the fluid

dude how do you only have 13k subs?? you make great content overall

hell yes!

Interesting Video, which heat exchanger do you use for 2pcs S19? 160KW 40 plates? I would like to build the same.

I applaud your ingenuity.

How were you able to appropriately size a heat exchanger per your setup or kw?

Two observations: 1) Space Design Warehouse = MacGyver of ASIC mining. 2) She-Shed is now the SHA[256]-Shed.

Great video, very informative. Will be interested to see the results of how well this works over time. How warm does your pool end up getting?

Just a heads up, you can't use a brazed plate heat exchanger on chlorine water. It breaks it down. Try stainless steel! Great video!

Great job on it all!! I'm enjoying the series! BTW, where are you getting those clear spillover tanks? I didn't see them on the engineering fluids website. Thanks

how fast 3,2kwh asic mine will heat 150l boiler water to 65degress, for the rest of energy I want to use for home heating by drycooler

Any form of alerting/notification if a pump dies?

4:50 when you said the brazed exchanger exits the oil a "little bit" cooler, does that mean such a channel alone won't be enough to cool an S19?

GREAT project! Any updates on the stainless steel heat exchanger ?

You mention that the setup was sufficient to keep up with the cooling of your two S19j Pros. I'm curious if that was with the pool in the loop or not. I'm working on my own set of tanks and the one part I have no idea about is the amount of heat those radiators can reject...even ballpark would be helpful to know.

Awesome video love it! Curious about two things. I know you mentioned that the pump was approved via Engineered Fluids but I can't seem to find it. Mind sharing the model number or link? Also curious about the use of the radiator? It was hard to see how it tied in the final design. Was it intended to augment the heat exchanger or was it for an other purpose? Thanks again and great video. Wish I could make these!

It might be cool to us this S19 with hydrocooling from Bitmain. Maybe it could be plugged in directly to the pool pump as long as the pool water wouldn't corrode the innards of the miner. Bitcoin Miner S19 Pro+ Hyd

Funny, descriptive and educational- awesome! Are you going to the Rolex 24 or 12 hrs of Sebring this year?

Makes sense, first priority should be heating house/garage, then if you still have too much heat you could heat greenhouse/pool/hot water tank/ maybe floors if you have required pipes. I would love seeing a micro ASIC farm heating all these at the same time, that would make a killer system brilliant piece of engineering.

I love this dude, I wish I could even just help with these neat projects you're doing. Im already at my capacity renting a place with a few GPUs :(

is there a reason why you didn't go with the T cap to force air out? just like you did in your previous build. I wonder why did you go for pipe cutting here?

Excellent video friend. Do you think that using 2 containers, the external one with ice water and the internal one with mineral oil, will serve to keep the asic miners at a good temperature? Thank you

Ive been trying to figure out how to do a Immersion cooling / in floor heating setup

So you have two pumps. Is that so you dont have to have your pool filter/pump running. Or would you have to have that running as well as the two other pumps in the video.

The metric is much appreciated. Couldn't imagine living in a country where the room temperature could boil ethanol at sea-level barometric pressure (on paper with some common unit oversight).

This is great 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

This is genius

I'm so jealous!

i would love to see a crypto hot tub

BEYOND RAD!

I've been subbed to your channel since the first vid and really enjoy the content. I have a ? For you tho. Based on the daily profit your sj19s are making a profit after power of 26 dollars a day. I am curious as to why you decided to go with a bitcoin miner instead of more gpus. Was it a space concern?. I only say this because even with scalper prices you could get at least 30 or more 1660ti gpus with the same 15k the bitcoin miner cost. Those make after power even on nice hash around 1.20 per day so the 30 would make 36 per day instead of the 26 per day. If I am missing something here please let me know. I was just curious is all. I've got a decent size gpu farm and have been running the numbers as I'd like to move into the bitcoin miners more but I can't seem to find one that can beat the daily profit on the investment that gpus offer atm

After all of that mucking around with the tanks and all of the extra cooling liquid used, would it not have been cheaper to use bitcool's tank? I do like DIY but sometimes it is just easier to buy

As a aquatic engineer with self taught crypto knowledge and self built miner of only one rx 580 8GB i work on pools and the automation for the iaqualinks antennas use SHA-256 encryption and was developed with python, my home built miner with home depot wood is on my chan

do you save any money in electricity? ldo you consume less wattage by cooling the miners this way

How hard will it be to use that cool heat exchanger for hot water for your HOME?

How many watts does each ASIC draw? A commercial pool heater is 5000 watts typically. Factor in losses and I bet you need 7500w worth of miners to match the heat rejection capacity of the pool water to the ground, the air, and what the pipes themselves reject into the air for now and into the ground later.

Do you have a link for the 1/2" MNPT port? Having a hard time finding one. Great job on the videos, appreciate you sharing your knowledge and experience!

I thought engendered fluids says it's best to run a closed single loop dry cooler

🤯🤯🤯

Will you try to modulate the system? So when the pool gets to your desired temperature it will automatically shift to the air exchanger?

I have been trying to build an immersion cooling setup at home for some time now, and just the other day i found your first two videos, i was thrilled that someone documented the process fully, since i also have a pool, i plan on doing a similar setup. though i would also ask, due to summer heating the pool, how hot fo you believe your pool will eventually get?

Hi!! I´m from Argentina, and i will like to know about the material of the tank. I´m doing one my self and i dont know about which material can i use!! if you can help me, i will be very gratefull. i really like your channel

You know I gotta do it.... FOR THE ALGORITHM.

The SPA-256!

Do you have a link to the heat exchanger and even the radiator you used in your other video?
