    DC Pool Pump

    Thanks cvg for the tip. Normal inverters dont cut it, because the power delivered by the solar array is variable, but the output of the inverter should always be the same. The pump should be able to run fast when there is a lot of sun, and slow when there is little. By the way BigInch...

    DC Pool Pump

    Well we need to filter a certain amount of m3 per day. So if this is to be done with solar we should have an efficient filter, because that is the biggest energy sucker. I'm finding it offensive that manufacturers don't even have a pressure-drop curve for their sand filters. I'm in provincia...

    Gravity filtering might be interesting. The issue will probably that it cant filter enough water over the day. Normally a the filter should filter a volume equivalent to the pools capacity. So 50m3 of water -> 50m3 filtered/day. VFC + AC pump could be the way to go. Really the VFC you mean is...
