I require a solar cluster and a small dc water pump.

The idea is to use black pipe as a solar heat collector and pump it through a swimming pool driven by the solar powered dc pump.

The object is to raise the water temperature over a period and maintain it at a higher level than normal thus extending the pool usage/ holiday season in Portugal, Algarve.

Could you recommend equipment for test purposes. Doesn’t need much lift –say 2 metres and volume throughput need not be much -say 100 galls/hr

Is that a solar powered water pump or a 12v water pump for a solar heated pool?

*As per your question , you want to run the pump in parallel.
So, you will get double discharge if your piping design is suitable for parallel operation.
Flows Q1 and Q2 combine, and that is what flows through the pipe :
Qpipe = Q1+Q2
*If you want to increase the head pressure , then you have to run the pumps in series.
*You will not give more head pressure if you run in parallel.
*YOU must go through the following links for having clear idea about "pumps in series and pumps in parallel:

Solar Powered Water Pump for Solar Heating

A Solar powered water pump is usually but not always found as a component in solar heating systems. Solar powered heating systems use a panel mounted on a roof with black pipes that retain radiant heat from the sun and heat up water inside the pipes. The heated water is then taken to  reservoir tank and replaced with cooler water ready to be heated again. The water from the tank can then be used to heat room spaces or to raise the temperature of mains water before being heated for use as hot water, or for a central heating system. So free energy from the sun is used to reduce the amount of fossil fuel energy required to supply a building with hot water or heating.

12v Water Pump Solar Powered

Anybody who is concerned enough to implement such an environmentally beneficial system is also likely to want to reduce any reliance on mains electricity for powering the pump that is used to circulate the water in the system and this is where the solar powered water pump comes into it. The solar powered water pumps are driven by low voltage direct current electricity (12v water pump) which is generated by a small photo-voltaic panel, often mounted near the big solar water heater panels. Instead of having copper wire coils as is usual with Alternating Current pumps, the solar powered water pump has fixed magnets, which do not require electricity themselves, and are constructed in a robust and efficient way in order to produce enough pumping power with very little current.

Solar Powered Water Pump Applications

Now that we have learned how a solar powered water pump is used in a solar powered water heating system, we will be able to find a source of these 12v water pumps and be able to use them in other situations where it is required to pump water around a system, and there is no mains electricty available or desired. For example, to raise water from a river or stream for irrigation purposes, although a very good filtration system would need to be placed before the pump since these solar powered water pumps are really only designed for closed loop water systems.

Solar Powered Cider Workshop

Another application might be for storing and decanting cider or fruit juice in situ on an apple orchard or fruit farm, where the cider workshop is isolated from mains electricity. The storage tanks could be emptied or racked using a solar powered water pump allowing the entire cider making process to take place at the orchard in the workshop instead of transporting the apples or juice to the main farmhouse or cider barn for processing.

Finding 12v Water Pump Supplies

If you’ve already decided you need a 12v water pump or maybe several for your low voltage plumbing project you might be wondering where is the best place to get one. Unfortunately there is no single correct answer because of the considerable effect that location has on availability. You might live near an electrical wholesalers for example, but after making enquiries they just don’t have the elusive 12v water pump that you need. Or maybe they don’t have any at all. That’s because these little pumps are really used a great deal in mainstream plumbing and building jobs. A better bet probably is to visit a motor home, caravan or boat supplies yard if you are lucky enough to have one within a reasonable distance. Or you could try to find one second hand or order one online from one of the big mail order and delivery websites, whether general goods suppliers or parts specialists.

To find a second hand 12v water pump you’d probably need to find a scrap vehicle that uses water, again such as a camper van or houseboat. The water pump that’s used for cooling engines is no good because that’s mechanically driven and the pump that powers a domestic washing machine is probably AC I think. If anybody has any suggestions for sourcing water pumps that run of a 12 volt supply I’d be very grateful if you’d leave comments which I will collect and republish for the benefit of all my readers.

12V Water Pump

The 12v water pump is a versatile device which unlocks the solution to a number of problems associated with remote or mobile lifestyles. There’s at least one 12v water pump in nearly every caravan, motor home or boat, for example.

Mobile Lifestyle with standard 12v water pump

standard features include 12v water pump

The more unusual applications involve the use of solar power, wind turbines or non-mains water supplies.

If you are in need of several, perhaps many small 12V water pumps for a good price, it may be an idea to go to a boat supply store or a camper van fitters.

Or you may be looking for a 12v water pump to drive up to 4 water misters for maintaining a humid atmosphere in a specialty greenhouse. Wherever you need to pump a fair volume of water and have a car battery. A 12v water pump can pull from a water reservoir and provide cooling hydration through the misters.

Water Cooled Computer System with 12v Pump

Another use for a 12v water pump is in a water cooled computer system. Why would you want to cool a computer with water? Well because the usual electric fan can get too noisy if the processor is busy doing huge amounts of processing work such as rendering video or serving multiple users. Overclocked processors, modified to run faster will also generate a lot more heat and require a water cooling system, usually powered by a 12 volt water pump and a reservoir.
