How many HP does your pump have to be for this solar heater?

1 1/2horse power but the item we used 1/2 a season and it is leaking like a fountain.i do not recommend

We are in the process of installing ours now so I cannot answer on how well it works yet. According to the installation and operation manual, it can be installed for systems above and below 0.5 HP. Hope this helps.

I used two of these on my 10,000 gallon pool. I did not use my 1hp pool pump ( I did not want to run it for 8 hours a day). I set up a small 250 GPH utility pump to circulate water. I run it for 8 hours a day at a cost of about 15 cents a day. The incoming temp was about 75- outgoing about 100. It resulted in a raise of total pool temp of about 8 degrees. The HP of the circulating pump does not make a difference. Only a set amount of Sun energy can be transferred to the water based on the sq. footage of the panels, amount of sun and hours per day of circulation. The HP or GPH will not make a difference as long as you are circulating water through the panel.

I wish I could answer your question, but I am using my unit on a 1 3/4 hp pump for a 10,000 gallon in ground pool. The only issue I have is that the hose gets heavy wit the water and the cleaner does not make it all the way around my pool.

It depends on how long you plan on running the pumps. The one 12 volt battery will run the pumps for about 5.5 hrs before it is 50% discharged which is the maximum you should discharge any battery. The maximum output from the solar panel is about 5.5 amps so 1 panel will not keep up with the current draw if the pumps are run continually. You will need 2 panels to keep up with the demand.

It's not expensive for a 1 1/2 hp pump that is 110/ 240 v when I shopped around I found the MSRP was false and varied end user prices were much closer. Watch for shipping fees pump is heavy. Use ground if possible

Alice, It will work, but it might not work how you want it too. This solar pump has a water lift of 1.2 meters, and a water flow capacity of 300 L/H. This pump is meant for a trickle down water fountain, so it would be a judgment call on your part.

My pool is a 12x30 9ft deep pool. I replaced a 1hp pump witjh this one. It hasn't missed a beat. I the hp is comparable, you shouldn't have a problem.

I am not sure,I did buy it to use with my 1/2 HP,but I checked the amps on my pump first. I havent tried it yet

300 watts of solar panels to charge the batteries and run the pump. 4 group 24 deep cycle should due and a 30 amp charger. also there have been problems with pump and i have one go out after just three months. so you might look at another pump

Sorry, I don't know the psi. I'm using this pump in a closed loop solar hot water project. It circulates the water fine. The info on the box: 12VDC, Max Flow 11.5L/min, max head 3M, Max system pressure 10Bar, dry running protection, over temp protection, overload protection, ISO 9001. Hope that helps JE

Pump specs are 500mA@12V. Any of the small automotive solar chargers should work but, like someone else said, you should charge a battery then run the pump off the battery. DC watt calculation; P(W) = I(A) × V(V), so 6 = .5 * 12

If it is a low amp crank 5 is enough, but sue to the nature of solar I always go bigger. I use a 10 for a single 350 and bilge.

It depends on the size of the wire and the cord. It should work. That size pump should have a #10 or #12 size wire and it must be grounded. There is not that much difference between 1/3 HP and 1/2 HP power requirements. It would be best to ask the manufacturer of your pump to be sure. Good luck!

Ours is a 2 hp. Verify the model number off the Jandy website. Hope this helps.

Yes. It WILL convert battery power (DC) to AC to run a 3/4 hp pump. 1 hp = 746 watts, so no problem. However, this will NOT function as a solar charger for a battery. Make sure you account for that in your system.

No. The function of your solar heating pump is a steady, low flow and if your solar panel is on a roof, say a lift of 10' to 15', the pump must be rated to that height. Sump pumps are designed to have a high flow rate for short duration, just the opposite of what you will need.

sorry I am not sure I could answer your question,we have solar water heating tank and I hook pump on the bathroom sink, it works good

I have mine hard wired to TWO, Dasol 135w, 18 volt nominal solar panels at 45 feet water level pumping up hill 100 feet and I get approximately 200 to 400 gallons per day depending on solar aspect the pump handles it perfectly slows down and speeds up and just works flawlessly knock on wood, this is my second pump as the first pump the basket that runs the diaphragm broke when I was messing with it. For the price you cannot beat it..Gkwholesale rules
