I am trying to run a diy pool solar heater using a Grundig central heating pump to circulate the water but it is not moving the water just a slow trickle. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? Thanks

    Need a LOT more information. How much head -- friction loss -- are you trying to pump against? What are the specifications for the pump (model number or pump curve)?

    is it pumping against the pool pump?

    Typically a 3 way valve gets installed at the pool pump and it circulates the collectors and the filter

    A pic may help see what you have
