A URL would probably help...

Not having kept up with the past history of this project, am I correct
in assuming that this is to be used as a working fluid pump for a
solar heating arrangement?

And since you seem to have experience along these lines, an additional
question. I have looked at the large solar water heating panels on a
few homes, and have always felt that due to a reduction in exposed
surface area (thermal loss) that a tracking parabolic reflector
focused on a small cylindrical "boiler" would be more efficient than
the large panel designs. Is this, in fact, the case? Or am I
dreaming again - I haven't kept up with changes in this technology in
19 years.

My other quandary is, "How the heck do you find time and enthusiasm to
pursue all of this stuff?"

FWIW
