   That's cool. You built some yard-art powered by your pool.   
   And you dramatically decreased your electricity demand by other means.   
   Coulda led with that in a yard-art group instead of:   
      
   "My system uses running water to provide the DC power"   
      
   in a homepower group thread about inverters.
