What else can I help you with?
What are the benefits and costs of installing a solar powered water pump?
The benefits of a solar powered pump include an decrease in electrical usage and better energy consumption.
Do you need to run solar pool heater with pump going or can I run solar heater on its own?
Your pool pump needs to be pushing the water through your solar system
Could you tell me where I would go to buy a solar powered water pump in my town?
Have a solar powered water pump will save you on energy cost. You can order one online at www.siliconsolar.com.
Will it strain the pool pump motor while running when the solar pool cover is on?
No
Does a pool pump work harder when solar panels are added?
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
I am slowly converting my home to become green friendly and want to know if a solar powered water pump will be effective on my property which has many trees?
Installing a solar powered water pump at a a high point on your property, above many of the trees will be effective.
How efficient is solar heating for pools?
solar heating for pools is very efficient, it heats the pool with a natural resource that comes to us for free, and the only bill you will get is for the pump to circulate the water, but the pump is already going as it cleans the pool anyways.
What are the benefits of using a solar powered sump pump for residential water management?
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.
How can I pump water from creek to trough with no electricity and a very cheap pump system?
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.
How many solar panels amps volt to run a 110v pool pump?
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.
Do you run pump when solar cover is on?
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.
Explain operation of solar water pump?
A solar water pump, is basically like any other pump, accept that it is powered by a battery. Solar Panels use photovoltaic cells to charge the batteries, which in turn charge the pump. Water is then pumped from either an underground well, aquifer, or even aquitard. That water can be pumped, depending on the power level, to the surface or to a reservoir tower that feeds a system of pipes.
