Solar Force AC Piston Pumps |
Use Solar-Electric Power for water lift or pressurizing from shallow water sources. Provides as much as 5600 Gallons per day (21,000 ltrs.) pushing as high as 230 Feet (70m) or 100 PSI (7 kg/sq. cm) Solar Force Piston Pump draws water from a shallow well, storage tank or surface water source. 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, or from storage batteries, to fill a storage tank or to pressurize water.
APPLICATIONS: Irrigation, Pressurized water systems, Livestock watering, Village water.
Suction Capacity
25 vertical feet (7.6m) at sea level. Subtract 1 foot for every 1000 ft. elevation (1m for every 1000m). Suction capacity may be further limited by intake pipe friction or gasses in water. Intake piping should be minimum 1 inch (3010, 3020 models) or minimum 1 1/4 inch (3040). For best reliability, place the pump as close to the water source as possible.
CONSTRUCTION
- Cast iron body
- Brass cylinder and valve seats
- Leather cup piston seals
- Neoprene valve seals
- Oil-bath crankcase with PTFE oil additive
- Gear (timing) belt drive on PV models
- Standard V-belt on B models
- Pressure relief valve
- Permanent Magnet DC Motor
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
- Solar-Direct Systems: Chart indicates power (watts) required at the pump. The rated power of the PV array must exceed this number by 20% or more. A pump controller (linear current booster) is required for the pump to start and run in varying light conditions. A solar tracker may be used to increase daily yield (40-55% in summer).
- Pressurizing Systems: Battery power system, pressure switch, and pressure tank of minimum 60 gallon (230 l) size (captive-air tank, available locally)
- Foot valve (if pump is placed higher than water source)
ACCESSORIES
- Foot Valve FV-3000 (1-1/4 inch) required if pump is placed higher than water source
- Pressure Switch: Heavy Duty DC rated, for pressurizing systems
- Surge Tank: Absorbs pulsation if long piping is required between pump outlet and tank (Included with PV models)
- Seal & Gasket Set : Spare gaskets, rod and valve seals, two sets of piston seals, and a belt
- Long-Term Parts Kit: The above, plus a second belt, motor brushes, cylinder sleeve, 2 oil changes
- Easy Installation Kit includes: Pressure Switch, Pressure Gauge, Check , Drain & Shut-Off Valves, & Tank Tee (manifold)
FITTINGS
- Intake: 1 1/4 inch female pipe thread
- Outlet: 1 inch female pipe thread
DIMENSIONS
- 22 X 13 X 16 in. High (56 X 33 X 41 cm)
- With Surge Tank, 26 in. High (60 cm)
- Weight, max. 80 lbs (36 kg)
WARRANTY
