Advanced Power Inc.
Thank you for your consideration of a solar pump from Advanced Power Inc. We at Advanced Power are very excited to offer you one of
the finest solar water pumps made today! To our knowledge, we offer the only brushless motor in a solar pump of this
style and price range. A brushless motor means a
longer life for your solar pump than brush style motors, and less hassle and
maintenance cost for you in the long run.
We have been manufacturing and selling solar pumps for nearly 30 years now and we have always focused on our
customers and their needs, and making a better product for them. That is why we worked countless
hours and spent thousands of dollars researching and developing this new brushless motor pump technology: to
replace the old brush style motors with brushes that would wear out prematurely at times.
We are forever committed to
improve the solar water pumping industry. We pride ourselves in developing and manufacturing some of the best state of the art products on the market, and for having excellent
customer service. We sell systems that make it easy for you to size what you need to do the job your exact
situation requires and often times save you thousands of dollars in the process compared to much of the competition.
A few quick tips to remember when sizing our systems to your
needs: The
SR4 & RP4 pumps (4
pistons) require a 5 inch or larger casing and flow considerably more water
that the
SR2 and RP2 pumps. Almost double the flow with two or three panels.
The
SR2 & RP2 pumps(2 pistons) require a 4 inch or larger casing, offer lower flow but are
less expensive. This pump is perfect for
small pastures with low grazing capabilities or anywhere less water is needed or
if a large enough casing for the
SR4and RP4 pump is not available.
The only difference in the SR pump and the RP pump
is the warranty and price.
The
SR series has
a 2 year warranty where the
RP
series has a 5 year warranty with registration which has 3 full year and a 2
pro-rated.
Our maximum lift with the Advanced Power pumps is 200ft. to
the water with any 2 piston pump. (We sell larger pumps up to 320 feet of lift also) We stop our 4 piston pumps at 150ft. of lift.
The solar powered well pump can be set as much as 50ft below the static water level.
Lift begins at the water level, not the bottom of the well. So if
you have a 200ft. well but water at 150ft. you are only lifting 150ft. no
matter where you set your pump below the 150ft. mark. (Referred to in the
industry as static head pressure)
The deeper to water in your well, the more low light
situations affect the flow rate from the pump, this is one place the multiple panel solar water pumping systems are effective: they are also beneficial if you need more water in a
shallow well. The two and three panel
solar pump systems run the motor at a higher rate of speed longer during the day
than a single panel for increased pumping volume. They also spin the motor faster on cloudy
days, and early morning and late evening low light times for more water flow.
Our solar powered water pump motors are a variable speed 12.6-40 volt, which means they can run on batteries should low light conditions put the pump
behind on its pumping duties. (Requires a minimum of 2-12 volt batteries wired
in series for good performance) You can
also use our PODS box (Pump On Demand System) to run the Advanced Power pump
from any 110 ac power source such as a generator. (You can see the PODS box on
our products page)
We do not have batteries in our standard systems due to
maintenance issues, but when needed, they can be used and very beneficial. Batteries are merely a form of storage as are
water tanks so we feel we should sell you a system big enough to pump the
required amount of water in a day’s time, and get you to use a large enough
storage tank to hold a couple of days worth of storage. If we do this the animals can get to the
storage (water in the tank) instead of it being in a battery. If you should require a battery system due to
a weak well or some other situation: we can help you with that scenario also. If you have a small tank and the system isn't keeping up with your demand, a battery system may be right for you. We recommend the use of the ALC tank level controller if you find yourself in this situation. This keeps the pump shut off when the tank is full and keeps your power in your batteries until it is needed, instead of the pump running needlessly.
It does not hurt
the Advanced Power pump to run dry temporarily: so if you have a weak
well an Advanced Power pump is the one for you.
Advanced Power solar powered pumps create 85 pounds of pressure so you
can run a pipeline or a pressure system.
This also makes them great for remote cabins or homes.
Advanced Power systems are great for rented pastures because
they are easy to take with you when your lease is up. They are also tremendously helpful if you
rotate your cattle and have well in other pastures because you can move them
easily from well to well in a short amount of time. Advanced Power solar well
pumps work great from ponds, rivers or creeks.
(Special* freezing weather
requirements must be met in these scenarios as well as filtering the water)

The most commonly asked question about our product is how
long does it last? The solar panels have
a 25 year warranty with a 30 to 40 year life expectancy.
Our old brush style pumps “averaged” about three to four
years before maintenance was required.
Many lasted 5-10years. With the new brushless motors in our pumps we are
hoping to increase the life expectancy considerably. The Advanced Power pumps are rebuild-able.
We estimate replacement cost to recondition an Advanced
Power pump to run between $150.00-$500.00 depending on pump style, and what
needs replacing. Since we haven’t
reconditioned many brushless motor pumps yet we are not sure what the cost will
be. The SR4 and RP4’s are more expensive
to manufacture therefore they cost a little more to recondition.
Water quality plays a key part in the longevity of the solar
well pump’s life, a well that produces a lot of sand may require the optional
sand sock that we offer to help screen harmful debris from the pump. These sand socks are very inexpensive and a
great source of insurance against excessive wear and tear on the internal parts
of the pumps due to sand and trash in the well.

Also the use of the tank water level sensor (ALC) to shut the pump off when the tank is full adds greatly to
pump life. They can increase pump
longevity tremendously.

A proper installation is also a key to
increase pump life so please consult your installation manual for complete
instructions.
A weep hole in the
drop pipe is a must and the pipe going to the tank must drain during freezing
weather!
We hang our Advanced Power pumps on ½ inch pipe: usually
black roll poly pipe for easy one man installation and service, ¾ inch pipe is
acceptable also.
Our Advanced Power solar well pump systems come with the
solar modules, aluminum mounting hardware for the modules, a wiring harness and
the pump with 100ft. of wire standard. (Additional wire available on
request)
The
ALC (AdvancedLevel Control) may be purchased additionally if desired. The ALC is a tank level controller shutting
the pump off when the tank is full and turning it on when the water level drops.
