1.5" vs 2" Headers for Solar Panels

[briansturgeon]

I am currently looking at purchasing the Aquasol solar panels for my 18x36 IG vinyl pool that will be installed any day now. My pump will be a WFDS-4 Whisperflo. All of my plumbing will be 2".

My question is should I go with 2" headers on the panels or 1.5"?

I will put these panels on a ground rack so the top of the panels will only be about 5-10 above pool level/pump. Which size would work better with my pump?

Thanks.

Choice of header size mostly has to do with how many panels you eventually plan to have. The more panels you will have, the more of a difference large headers make. The dividing line is somewhat arbitrary. If you have, or are going to have, more than four panels I would get the larger headers.

I will probably have 8-10 so I'll go big. Thanks

How did the Aquasol panels work out? I am looking at getting them myself.
