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?

This pump will be powered directly by an electrical solar panel, for the system to work the pump must move between .5 & 1 litre a minute

Use the small pump from the windshield washer. It works from the cars battery, so it should work off your solar panel. I’m not sure how much it puts out per minute, but it can’t be much.

Using only hot water supplied by solar energy this heat engine pumps up well water from 75 feet down, and generates it’s own electricity to charge a battery that runs a small hot water circulating pump.
