Sun-Pump is a US Importer of Topsflo Solar 12V Circulation Pumps which you can use for any 12 volt system including solar hot water, fountains, small gold fish pond (with a filter), etc, and the best part is they can be ran off of a small solar panel or with very little draw from your 12 volt battery bank.
I bought four of these to test on our hot water heating system here.  First impression is good, but you will want to use plastic 1/2 F NPT for the connections.  The threads on these pumps that are made in China are not exact NPT but close.

For battery monitoring we use and recommend the TriMetric 2020 from Bogart Engineering.
It is a very versatile metering system that can monitor energy usage as well as energy production. 
They have other models with advanced features if you really want some serious data.
