Ok I'm convinced. I will convert to 2" from the pump out and then down to 10x 250-260' lenghts. :) Thanks guys.

The problem is that the pool is far from the coils and that would imply buying so much 2" piping. I think I will go for the booster.

Yes, you're right for the t. How about this: the feed and return are already 1/2", if I split both in 5, will it work? I'm looking for the least amount of work that will work :)

I'm open to ideas, perhaps simple changes, like T-ing the spiral a few times would't be too hard, provided I can merge it back together in 1 run of poly pipe. This is essentially the gist of it. - - - Updated - - - So I take the problem is specifically with the lenght of the tubing. I could...

Thanks guys. But the piping is already laid. Pumping the well water through the piping warms it to bath-like temps. So then what I would need is one of those high-pressure and low flow pumps in series, on the solar panel side of the Y for use to warm it up. I can shut it down when I don't need...

I have a spare Hayward ultra flo lx 1.5hp pump that I could add in series after the filter. I wonder if that will work...

Hi, thanks for responding. I have one large 2600' long coil of 1/2" poly irrigation tubing. I used the well pump to prime largely because I knew it was much stronger than pool one. They are not connected, I have to manually attach the garden hose to it.

Hi, Might be doing something wrong here, but here's my setup: 2600' of 1/2" pvc on a 20 to 30' high roof, somewhat steep. I have nothing other a Y valve splitting betweed pool jet and roof. Pool is AG. The home water pump (the well pump) can prime the coil and fill it with water, but the...
