5. The solar pump station used in this system is a Solarbloc solar pump station.  Its a compact pump this includes a lot of built in features to help simplify the solar water heating system.  The video will show you how to navigate through the menu of the pump and how it is set up.

To help you understand what the solar bloc pump station can do we put this presentation together to help explain the layout.  The pump can be used in a few different layouts to heat solar swimming pools, solar domestic hot water systems, solar space heating and a variety of different systems.

 

This sequence of images will open in a new window and show you a picture slide show showing an installation sequence for the solar water heating system including building of a custom frame for a metal standing room using S5 clamps.
