Should work good for you in Alabama. I would like to use my HF panels with a 12 volt pump and battery to run the water thru the panels intermittently but I need to find a simple circuit/ device to run the system for 15 minutes on, and 15 minutes off in cycles and turned on and off with a photo switch. Not as good as running continuously but it would be 100 percent solar powered.Andy[ Parent ]
I'd like to find the same type of timer for my system, except 2 minutes on, 15 minutes off. I'm using a pump from Surplus Center, part # 2-924 that works pretty good. It only draws 1.8 amps on 12v, but it's not made for continuous use. Since it's a sealed unit & also made to be submersable, the housing could be drilled for some much-needed air cooling to prevent premature failure. Let me know if you find anything (cheap) for a 12v timer.Rural McG[ Parent ]
