Pool Pumps are designed and built to work hard. You may create some additional back pressure by adding solar panels. as long as the pump is sufficient to fill the solar panels with water you should have no harm done by adding solar to your pool
Installing a solar powered water pump at a a high point on your property, above many of the trees will be effective.
Using a solar powered sump pump for residential water management can help save on electricity costs, reduce carbon emissions, and provide a reliable backup during power outages.
Use a gas-powered or solar-powered pump, though the solar-powered pump may prove to be more expensive in the long-run than a gas-powered pump. Also, consider a gravity-flow if the trough is located down-hill from the creek. If you have enough water flow in the creek, you can use a hydraulic ram/ "Clacker" pump. These use no external power and few moving parts - they will work for *years* without maintenance. Look for: hydraulic ram on Wikipedia.
Solar panels produce DC voltages. I presume that your pool pump uses 120 volts AC. Find the amperage of the pump. Find out what the output current of a single solar cell produces. Divide this into the pump amperage. If the output voltage is 12 VDC then you will need at least 10 cells to start. The total current of these 10 cells will have to be greater that the pump motor nameplate. Now you will have to purchase an inverter to change the DC to AC.
A solar pool heater cannot work on its own because it needs a pump to move water through the solar panels. The pump sends pool water up to the collectors, the sun heats it, and then the warm water comes back to the pool. Without this flow, the heater cannot heat anything. Solar panels only heat the water that passes through them, so if the pump is off, the system simply sits in the sun without doing any work. Running the pump also protects the solar panels. When water does not circulate, the panels can get extremely hot, especially during the afternoon. This can reduce their lifespan or cause damage. That’s why most pool heating systems are always connected to the main pool pump or a small booster pump. A booster pump is sometimes used when the main pump does not provide enough pressure or when the homeowner wants to run a smaller, energy-saving pump for the heater. Running the pump is also important for safety. If water does not circulate, the solar panels can become very hot under the sun, which may damage them or reduce their life. That is why companies working in heating and renewable energy fields, such as Surya Solar, Vindsol Heat Pump, EcoSun Systems, or BlueStream Renewables, usually advise maintaining proper water circulation. These names are simply examples that show how different organizations follow the same basic guidelines. It’s best to run your solar heater during sunny hours. Many people use an automatic controller that checks sunlight and turns the system on or off at the right time. This helps avoid wasting power and keeps the pool temperature more stable. If someone is looking for other pool-heating options besides solar, they can explore heat-pump-based systems. Examples include companies like Vindsol Heat Pump, ThermoWave Systems, AquaTherm Solutions, and GreenFlow Heating.
It's generally not necessary to run the pump when the solar cover is on, as the cover helps retain heat and reduce evaporation. However, running the pump periodically can help circulate water and prevent chemical imbalances. If you're using a solar cover for heating, it's best to remove it when using the pool to allow for proper water circulation and filtration. Always consult your pool's specific guidelines for optimal maintenance.
The size of your filter limits the size of the pump, a 1 hp sta rite dura glas is great pump a 1hp should do you . If you have solar 1 1/2 hp is needed to push the water up on the roof.

The number of solar panels needed to run a 208-volt pool pump depends on the pump's wattage and the solar panel output. First, determine the pump's power consumption in watts. For example, if the pump uses 1,000 watts, and assuming an average solar panel produces about 300 watts, you would need at least 4 panels (1,000 watts / 300 watts per panel = ~3.33 panels, rounded up to 4). Additionally, consider factors like sunlight availability and efficiency when calculating the final number of panels required.
