SOLAR SURFACE PUMPS


Solar surface pumps are used primarily for moving water from a shallow source to an uphill destination, or to provide extra pressure (boost) in a domestic water system.  Surface pumps should be protected from freezing and the elements.  Some models will tolerate some minor particulates in the water but most require inlet filtering.  Some pumps will tolerate running dry for short periods, while others will be immediately damaged.  Keep these factors in mind when choosing a pump.







FLOWLIGHT BOOSTER PUMPS


Flowlight Booster Pump Flowlight Booster Pump


The Conergy Flowlight Booster Pump provides city water pressure anywhere. It has been a standard in home renewable energy systems since 1986.

It is economical for domestic water supply, drip irrigation, and water purification.  Inlet must be filtered!

A booster pump is far more cost effective than an elevated tank, providing pressure equivalent to over 100 feet (30 m) of elevation.

It uses one third to one half the energy of a conventional AC pump, and eliminates high starting surges.

It is more powerful, quieter, and much more durable than plastic RV/Marine pumps.

Wearing parts are replaceable, and typically last 5 to 10 years. Overall life expectancy is 15 to 20 years.

The advantage of Flowlite is it can run, even if an inverter is down, directly from batteries.

SOLAR SLOWPUMP BY CONERGY



The solar Slowpump by Conergy is capable of pushing water as high as 450 feet vertical. Supplying between 200 and 2600 gallons of well water a day while running on only a little amount of power with or without batteries.

Solar Slowpump is designed to run for years all day long. This is possible because of the superior design of the positive displacement vane pump mechanism, which is forged brass.  Pump should be located as close as possible to the water surface.

The pump requires 5-micron filtration for protection at the inlet.

If a PV-direct system (without batteries) is used then the watts required need to exceed the pump watts by 20% or plus, otherwise a linear current booster controller is needed for the pump to work properly.

If you use a battery-powered system with this pump the flow and wattage will be lowered by 15%.

By using a solar tracker it’s possible to increase the power your solar panels produce allowing you to pump up to 40%-50% more water in the summer time.

SOLAR FORCE PISTON-TYPE SURFACE PUMP


The Solar Force is well known for high-efficiency, performance and longevity.  2-year warranty with a 20-year life expectancy.  Must be protected from freezing.  There is a lot of information about this pump, so I'll make it all available in the links below. The first link gives a good, brief overview with performance charts.  Solar Force offers medium-high lift capability (up to 220 feet) while retaining a relatively high flow rate compared to other surface pumps.  See the charts to find the model you need.  Foot valve required if mounted above water source.  Linear current booster recommended if connected direct to PV array.

Solaram surface pumps

The Conergy Solaram Surface Pump draws water from a shallow well, spring, pond, river or tank. It can push water uphill and over long distances for home, village, irrigation or livestock uses. It can use power directly from a photovoltaic array to fill a storage tank.  Extremely high lift capability, good flow.  1-year warranty.

Uses less power than any other pump in its range, starts pumping in low light conditions.  Reduces power system cost by 25-75 % compared to centrifugal or AC pumps.

Suction capacity: 5 vertical feet (7.6 m) at sea level. Subtract 1 ft for every 1,000 ft elevation (1 m for every 1,000 m). Suction capacity may be further limited by intake pipe friction or gases in water. For best reliability, place the pump as close to the water source as possible.

Linear Current Booster (pump controller) is required to facilitate starting and to prevent stalling in low-light conditions.

Shurflo diaphragm pumps are a reliable standard in light-duty surface pumps.  They are small and inexpensive, yet deliver solid, reliable performance.  They also have the advantage of being easily user-serviceable with inexpensive parts kits.  Shurflo pumps can run dry intermittently without damage, and will tolerate moderately dirty water, although a screen filter is recommended.  A built-in pressure switch is standard, but a conventional pump control switch is a better choice for long-term reliability.  They also contain an internal check valve.


shurflo 2088 Shurflo 2088 Surface Pumps and Accessories


SHURflo 2088 Series diaphragm pumps deliver reliable performance in medium flow, moderate pressure applications.  They make an excellent replacement for RVs that usually come from the factory with lighter-duty pump models.

They are used in a variety of transfer and dispense-on demand applications where flow to 3.6 GPM is required.

For added reliability the Twist-on Strainer can be used on the 2088 inlet port. Install optional 4" or 5" heatsink for heavy duty applications where extra cooling is required.

  • Self priming up to 12 feet
  • Can run dry without damage
  • Optional motor cooling fins
  • One way check valve prevents reverse flow
  • Available for 12 VDC, 24 VDC, and 115 VAC
  • Automatic operation with pressure demand switch
