I was floored when I saw how many panels I would need to power my main pool pump, I can imagine what I would need to power a heat pump.. Lord knows I will look into it out of curiosity though :}

Man, your 300' was almost spot on.. It looks like 165' on supply and 125' on return... will add 20' at the rack so round trip would be approx 310' And your 12 90s' total is just as close, (if I can get away with using 45's anywhere I will) but 12 to 14 is going to be real close. I used the tax...

Will do, probably time I got a mental grip on this :)

I will get the distance and, and get close on the 90 + 45's... (can't be spot on, because I am still fine tuning my rack design) I feel fairly intelligent until that pump curve / head pressure comes in... then I just jump over to the stupid lane lol.. The long haul distance will be pretty easy...

I am goin to look at photos I have of existing equip... and maybe do a layout to get the info, If that takes a lot of time to figure out, I would not want you to go to that extent (I can take experienced opinions, but that sounds like a lot of time.. ???

And that is what I had in mind (with the aluminum) If I were forced to go back to the roof.. under ever joint unfortunately.. Honestly I guess I was thinking it was too long a run from the existing equipment in the back of my head, so I never really considered that until you brought it up... I...

Ahhhhh I miss read something.... If I retrenched and jacked the pipe size up, you are saying the long run from the existing pump/filter would be ok.... ? I never really considered this.... whew long run though, but worth considering for sure, great now you have my brain spinning again lol..

You should see the pictures I have after the panels were removed, the shingles were worn conpletely through the first layer.. I can't believe it was not leaking worse than it was!.. But I am not trenching to the old system, (I should have taken more time on the picture).. The panels will have...

Well it sounds like I will have to grit my teeth and go 2"... I need to fix the picture I just sent, it didn't have the supply return lines in it... The supply/return lines are actually going to be visible. that's why I wanted to go smaller, they will run a couple feet alongside a stone garden...

The only place the rack can go is completely on the other side of the house, so it's not auxiliary,. I should have mentioned that it will have it's own small cartridge filter. They main reason for doing this is I DO NOT want it back on my roof, and my wife won't do without it lol.. The panels...

New user, but have been reading advice here for sometime.. I am having to get a new roof on my house, I had the solar panels pulled for the job. I am planning to build a rack system instead of putting them back on the roof. My question is on a dedicated pump (main pool pump is on the opposite...
