Thanks to Exsolar….my panels arrived! http://www.exsolar.co.za/
* Solar panels: Tenesol Total Energy – TE250-60M+ – 250 watt monocrystalline
* “Solar” powered pool pump: Zodiac / Jandy FloPro ePump – Zodiac – Details below.
Note: Although this pump is powered by mains electricity its low energy consumption makes it far easier to run from solar power.
* Arduino voltmeter tutorial is being prepared. I hope to demonstrate the 4 x 16 character LCD serial enabled display I received from Hobbytronics: http://www.hobbytronics.co.za/

Save Energy And Money
The FloPro ePump is a variable speed pool pump that can be configured to significantly reduce pool (energy) running costs and provide the best and most energy efficient performance for each individual piece of pool equipment. With the capability to run at 8 different speeds, the FloPro ePump can save up to R1800 p.a. in energy costs. Running the filtration (pump) equipment for longer periods at lower speeds will reduce power consumption significantly.
Features
High on efficiency
Low on running costs
Ultra quiet
Durable
Environmentally friendly
3 Year Manufacturing Defects Warranty
Ultra Quiet Operation
Designed with a totally enclosed, fan-cooled, permanent magnet brushless DC motor, the FloPro ePump is one of the quietest pool pumps on the market. At half speed, it generates about the same noise level as an average refrigerator.
Automated Control
The FloPro ePump Controller has been specifically designed for the FloPro ePump.
Built To Last
The FloPro ePump is built to the highest standard right down to the quality and durability of its materials. All of the components are constructed from corrosion resistant materials to ensure optimal performance and longevity. It is also backed by a three year warranty and Zodiac’s unrivaled back-up and technical support.
