Summer's slowly returning, and I need to replace a small solar powered pump (finally died) that circulates the water in a small pool (pool from Menards). Without circulation, the water gets a little scummy...
I have a 12v low maintenance auto battery. A decent south facing position. Time.
What I'd like to come up with is a self-charging system that can run and charge a small pump, no fountain. Small head, maybe 2ft max. The pool is a bit cramped for my Brittany Spaniel, so no in-pool stuff. I can always sink a hole for the pump next to the pool so once it is primed, it will maintain suction.
This is the huge lake were discussing, kidney shaped, about 18" deep (2/3rds) to @8" deep (1/3rd)
