I also live in Florida (orlando area). I DIYed a standard hot water heater with a used standard collector panel, 10w PV panel and pump. It took a few shots to get the plumming right but it works great, sometimes too great.
Very cool video. I wonder about the extra weight being a problem for small structures like the carport. Do you have any ballpark estimates on how many pounds a hose like that will hold? I imagine there must be a good general formula, like.. hose X diameter multiplied by Y feet = Z gallons.,, I just never thought about it before.
can I use 1/2 " poly tubing? and do you know how much water holds 1/2' tubing by 500ft?

@kingmike40 Using CPVC with hot water is OK.

@Portubella12458 Because pvc will deteriorate with hot water as well as it can put bits of pvc in your water and that is toxic.
