Hello to all
New to this site, never posted but here goes. Built a solar pool heater for a customer and no problem getting it hot but having a problem getting it to circulate. How about using a pump for under floor heating systems? Anybody tried to do this? I’m a builder not a solar tech, any help would be great.
This is to be a gift at jobs end for one of those perfect customers that we never seem to get.
Thanks,
Paul

Typically you would use the pool pump for solar circulation. Pool water needs to circulate daily through the filter, plumb this pump with a control valve and a solar controller to circulate through the collector when there is heat gain.
