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.

SOShit fE, thoughts on passive heater,(I am in NE so never really considered one of these) BUT I always thought a thermo syphon type system would be the best for that style. very small pump with flow control at top of box. Just spit balling here no factual data.
