Ok my pool is about 20 ft from the house. I have a 1.5 hp pump, could I actually run pvc over to the house to mount my solar collectors?? I woud think this would be too far away.. Any thoughts??
20 feet horizontally is not a problem at all. Vertical travel is much more of an issue. How high above the pool water line are you planning to mount the panels?
Not all above ground pool pumps can handle lifting water large vertical distances. In-ground pumps are much better at that. If the bottom of the pool and the floor of the house are at about the same level you should be alright. But the more vertical distance there is, the more chance you will need an auxiliary pump for the solar panels.
