"i just need to devise a scheme to measure the gpm and then check the pressure so i can get a proper pump"

Check Ebay for "Water Liquid Flow Measuring Meter Instrument"..

Looks like a good pump. Are you going to use the different speeds??

rhino 660 · 03-15-12, 02:10 PM

i can flip in between speed 2 and 3 which is 4 and 6GPM

rhino 660 · 03-15-12, 02:21 PM

During these last couple of weeks the weather has been getting pretty mild.
So, our power usage down to less than half of what it was last month.

When I walked by the outdoor mini-split units this morning, there was no big blast of cold air shooting out..
The outdoor fans are running a lot slower now.. Adjusting to the weather.

Sounds like you are going to be able to do something similar, with that pump.
Of course it will be running on "Free" solar power..

rhino 660 · 03-15-12, 09:14 PM

yes that free solar power makes my gshp extreamly efficient
it is all part of my master plan to eliminate most of my bills i just have to pay cell phone, water, car insurance, and internet now under $300 a month. then my truck gets 35MPG and my car gets 50MPG and i have a biodiesel processor and 600 gal of cooking oil stored

rhino 660 · 03-15-12, 09:20 PM

here is my flow meter/pressure gauge

if any one wants to use my priming pump with gauges on this forum let me know just pay the shipping.
