    Thanks for the replies. The solar heater is one of those rigid plastic dome - shaped models so I don't think the fast water would be able to harm the tubing.

    The temp in the pool is not going up. I remember last year (using the pathetic pump that comes with these pools), the incoming water was HOT. This year, it feels the same as the pool water. I have it in full sun.

    That would be expected, if you had much fast flow rates.

    But in terms of total heat added to your pool, the end result from 2 gpm at 15 degrees hotter than the pool, is the same is 20gpm at 1.5 degrees hotter than the pool.
