Hi All,
I just purchased a solar pool heating kit for the pool and need some advice.
The Kit is 28m2, The Pump I have already on the filter is a Onga PPP1500 (1.5hp) connected to an Onga P25 Sand Filter.
The pool is fairly small 35,000lts, and i believe the pump and filter i have already is overkill for this pool, I think the pool guy told me it can do a pool 3 times the size.
Anyway, What i need to know is, can i use the exsisting pool pump to run the solar heating also? Is it powerfull enough Or do i need to purchase a sererate pump?
It will have to push the water up one story to the roof which is about 15 meters away from the pump.
I had the extra solar provisions installed when the built the pool but it's pretty cold all the time, so i was thinking of not using it and just using the pool filter to heat the pool as it would be cheaper than running two motors daily. I could always put a diverter inline so i can stop it flowing to the roof if needed.
Any other advice??
Also what silicon should i use to hold down the matting on the tiled roof?
