>Hey, this makes me think. You fellers are probably a good bunch to ask
where I can find a small cheap 12v circulating pump to make a completely
un-psub-related solar water heater. There's lots of them around that run on
120v and are used for hot-water domestic heating systems, but I'm stumped
about where to locate one that's low-voltage DC and not expensively sold
from alternative energy catalogs. It doesn't have to move much water, or
very fast.
