will this work on a pool solar heating panel ?

I doubt it. It depends on the head pressure (the height of the solar panel in relation to the height of the water the pump is pulling from) and the number and size of the panels. My solar panels are 4x10 feet each and I doubt this pump would be able to handle more than one panel IF the panels were only a few feet above the water level. This pump can push a lot of water through it, but not at a very high pressure.

No. The function of your solar heating pump is a steady, low flow and if your solar panel is on a roof, say a lift of 10' to 15', the pump must be rated to that height. Sump pumps are designed to have a high flow rate for short duration, just the opposite of what you will need.

It should be fine for average sized in-ground pools. We have the next larger model and there is no problem heating the pool quickly. Variables such as whether you use a pool cover, the weather, or have a adjunct solar pool heater will affect your gas usage. Figure about a 4-5 year lifespan for this heater as the copper heat exchanger coils eventually will leak. It's considered one of the cheaper pool heaters on the market. Mostly made in China.

It should work. There is a heavier duct tape for hotter applications, which may be more appropriate depending on how hot the solar tube gets. WHat does the solar tube manufacturer recommend?

I have been using the solar blanket to serve that purpose as well as heat the pool. However, now that temps are much hotter, I do not use the solar cover at all. I would suggest using a regular pool cover if you want to cover the pool while in not use. I have not found it necessary to cover my pool to protect it from debris. The water stays very clean. However, if you have your pool near trees that will drop leaves, etc. into the pool, you may want to use a cover

Sure it can work, but it depends on your inverter. The heat pad draws 90 Watts at 120 volts. So make sure you have an inverter with enough power, and some leeway. A 120 watt inverter, or stronger, would be fine. Beware, this will drain your vehicle battery fairly quickly if you don't leave the engine running.

sorry I am not sure I could answer your question,we have solar water heating tank and I hook pump on the bathroom sink, it works good

I don't see why it wouldn't. Ours works great but our pool is above ground. Recommended.

if you have a lot of direct sun for a small pool or multiple units i think it would work well.

It will if your battery power source holds up and you use heavy input power cables. (Electric heaters require a lot of power).

Yes, this will work on a solar panel, provided the panel is properly sized (you may have to experiment). However, intermittent sun will cause problems with constant resetting.

Yes it will work and it heats the pool in 2 days when the sun is out, we love it !

I do not know. We have a solar-heated inground plaster pool that also gets like bathwater. I have been very happy with this product's ability to prevent algae growth.

Yes, this should be able to be used on virtually any pool. I have an above ground with Trek decking and it works perfectly for me.

It should, I use it to switch on a 12 volt pump daily. I have a 12 volt battery and a 45 watt solar panel along with the pump, and this works pretty good. I really like it. Used it for 4 months so far, no problems.

I'm sure it will. In my application the switch is mounted to the heater element housing for the purpose of sensing water is being pumped through the heater. The electrical switch part is letting the spa control circuitry know if there is water flowing through the heater or not. That control signal voltage could be 120V but more likely 5 to 12 volts DC, either way the switch can handle it.

Yes, all you have to do is wire of the power supply to your pool timer. PS you'll probably want to use watertight connections.

Usually the watts rating is on the back of the plug. If the heater rating is less than this it will work.
