    Thats exactly what I thought. If I could get the water up and back down then it shouldn't take much to keep it going since the water going down should act like some sort of siphon effect pulling the water down and to a small part up too. But that does not seem to be the case. The strange part is that I have great pressure for about a min to a min and a half after I switch the pump to low speed and then it slows down to nothing. I don't know whats going on. Got the pool up to 85 degrees. All we want it up to is 88 degrees so I don't think we are going to have a problem, but it's got me stumped. I have read on other post that low speed pumps will not carry the water up to the roof and I am going up two stories. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Aranon,

    You might send a PM to mas985. He is excellent at calculating Total Dynamic Head and it IS possible that those ten solar panels offer so much resistance that your pump can't overcome it on low. If that's the case, you would have the same result if the panels were at pool level or even in the basement.

    The panels worked fine on the ground at low speed
