What Water Pump Should I Buy?
Posted on | December 22, 2009 | 1 Comment
OK, here’s the deal ( I know it is hokey…) – I have an Above Ground Swimming Pool @ 5500 gallons. I just got an ECCOtemp L-10 Liter Outdoor Tankless Propane Water Heater. – It is supposed to be used for taking showers, etc. I want to use it to help heat my pool. I want to put an electric water pump on the pool to recirculate the water back up to the ECCO. The ECCO needs water pressure of 30-50 PSI to open the ignition circuit for operation. There are alot of types of water pumps to choose from, but they do not list the PSI , just the GPH. I am looking at 1″ Clear Water pumps from Harbour Freight – $29 – $49 , 1/2 HP but I don’t know if it will generate the PSI. Submersible pump would be easy also, but not sure if they have the PSI I need. I KNOW that the pool chemicals will affect the ECCO. I want a way to heat my pool in the cooler months, and in the evening – not 24/7. Cost is important. I live in Florida and don’t want to pursue the solar angle on this brainstorm. The pool heats quite nicely on its own, but the above ground really saps the heat from it. I do have the pool somewhat insulated. Thanks!

Your heating unit is hopelessly undersized for this to matter. For the pumps, go to a better store and get a pump that is rated for the average shower, about a gallon a minute, at 50 psi.
