What’s up, kbonk!?
So I used nearly 100’ of 1/2” pex and my 800gph pump is way overkill. Like pushes too much water through the system before it can heat up.
I still am running it as it gives me about +2-6° F depending on the sun on a given day.
I think the key will be to either get a smaller pump -OR- more likely, make a quick diverter downstream from the pump so as to not tax the pump any hard but be able to control flow rates.
