Solar Powered Submersible Water Pumps from Advanced Power Inc. Introducing the Ranch Pump.

This is a picture of our Ranch Pump model RP4, prior to adding the protective coating, intake screen or wire. It's purpose is to show the quality CNC machined aluminum housing and parts. It's a very impressive and durable piece of water pumping equipment


   We couldn't be more excited to be offering you one of the finest solar pumps on the market.     
                                                          
                                    Meet the Ranch Pump! 

25 years of solar pump manufacturing experience went into designing this state of the art, aluminum housed solar powered submersible pump. It has one of the strongest and most durable motors on the market. Our unique internal driver/controller makes this pump run extremely efficiently which means you save money on buying solar power.  To get the same amount of water our competitors normally need to sell you a lot more solar power to get the job done with their less efficient pump styles. 

Since our controller is built into the pump, that also means you save on the expense of having to buy an additional above ground power controller as you normally need with other solar pumps of this style. 

We are so confident and impressed with this Ranch Pump series that we are offering a 5 year warranty.
(This pump comes with a 3 year standard manufacturers warranty and an additional 2 year prorated warranty can be achieved if you fill out the registration card and send it in with a copy of your receipt within 30 days of purchase, no additional charge! )


These pumps are also great for pumping from ponds, rivers and streams when no freezing weather is present.

RP4 Aluminum
Solar Pump.
Part # 535474

$ 1130.00  
NO additional controller required! 

4 Piston brushless motor submersible solar pump. 

Over volt protection.
Thermal over load protection to help from over heating and causing damage.
Abrasion & Corrosion resistant.

Pressure relief valve installed to assist in an over pressure situation such as a clogged weep hole or kinked line.

Aluminum Housing and Head.
Reverse polarity protection.

Brushless Motor 12-40 volts operating range.

Max gpm 3.75 at no lift or pressure, flows decrease as lift and pressure increase.



   These RP series aluminum solar pumps come with a 3 yr. full and 2 year additional pro-rated warranty. 

Factory rebuildable. Designed CNC Aluminum parts. Positive displacement solar pumps. Lightweight and durable.  Temporary run dry capability. Come standard with 100ft. of wire attached so no under water splice is needed. (due to our hard coating process actual product appearance or color may vary)
RP4 Pumps require a 5" diameter or larger well casing. Max lift 150ft.


Keep in mind when we refer to lift we mean static water level. Your  solar well pump can be set deeper than max lift if it's in the water. Lift does not begin until you come out of the water. EX: Well 220ft. deep total, but water at 80 feet from the gound. If pump is set at 120ft. pump is still only lifting 80 if that is where water level maintains. Do not submerge pumps greater than 50ft. in the water.


Our aluminum solar pumps are a product of 25 years of solar water pump manufacturing experience.We have taken what we have learned over that time, what worked and what didn't, and we have created for our customers our best solar pump ever! 


These solar submersible well pumps are the latest in solar pump technology, with some of the best state of the art features on the market. Such as not requiring the use of an additional controller between the pump and the solar panel to control the voltage or drive the pump motor. This means less expense to you the consumer, and one less component to cause you grief should it fail. Most of our competition requires you purchase additional solar pump controls that can cost up to $400 in addition to the pump price.

We do "recommend" our ALC advanced level controller, but that is to monitor the water level in your tank and save wear and tear on your pump when the tank is full, it is not required.  When used however, it can add years of life to your pump by causing the pump to shut off when the tank is full and not waste run hours on the pump when water is not needed.


What's the big deal with aluminum?  Aluminum dissipates heat over 1,000 times better than our old PVC pumps, and much better than most other stainless steel housed pumps on the market.

Why is this important? It's important because motors, mechanical parts such as bearings, and electronics survive better and longer in a cooler environment. The reason our pumps can run dry is because they are not water cooled but are in a sealed can that does not allow water in the motor housing, those motors working as they do in that environment cause heat to build up inside the can. Our new aluminum pump housings dissipate that heat at a much higher rate and keep the pump motor working in a more friendly environment for the motor.

Please feel free to view our website for complete information on this and all of our other pump models. We hope we have one to suit you and your water pumping needs. 

Visit us today at www.solarpumps.com or apiok.com for all your remote or off grid water pumping needs.












Explanation of the Ranch Pump 5 year warranty. 


Explanation of the Ranch Pump extended prorated warranty. The RP comes with a 3 year factory warranty for defects in workmanship and materials. An additional 2 year prorated warranty can be obtained by filling out the registration form and sending it and a copy of your purchase receipt to the factory within 30 days of purchase. 


How the two year additional prorated warranty will work: If after the three year original warranty period expires the pump should fail due to a cause deemed a warranty item by the factory, then Advanced Power Inc. will give the customer a new pump for the cost of $10.00 dollars per month for the number of months the pump was in service.

EX: If a customer has a pump for 48 months and a warranty item causes the pump to fail, the customer could purchase a new pump for the cost of only $480.00 as opposed to full retail which on a RP4 at this time is $1,130.00.

All other pumps come with a "repair or replace" type warranty, but the Ranch Pump comes with a new replacement warranty while new supplies last.

Easy to install systems make us a great choice for your solar water pumping needs.


One of the many things that gives Advanced Power Inc solar powered water well pumps the leading edge over our competition, is how easy our solar powered water well pumps are to install. 

Our Advanced Power Inc. solar powered water well pumps only weigh 14 pounds, so this makes them extremely easy to lower into and raise out of wells if the time ever came where you needed to transport the pump to another location.

 The API solar powered well pump will allow you to install your pump with or without the neighbors or hired hand helping, you can use help or normally one person can do it alone until you reach some greater depths.

 All of our solar powered pumping kits come standard with solar modules, easy bolt together aluminum mounts for the modules and also equipped with 100' of submersible wire that can be taped to the poly pipe as your solar powered well pump is lowered into the well. (additional wire is available on request).

When possible we recommend that you install your pump using 1/2'' black roll poly pipe for easy roll up coming out of the well, without having to break joints apart such as you do with threaded PVC, this makes it extremely easy for one person to pull the pump, and allow the pipe to roll out on the ground behind you if you are by yourself and need to remove the pump from the well.

 Advanced Power Inc. has a simple installation video available on our website www.solarpumps.com. You can view the video in about ten minutes and have a very good understanding of just how simple these systems are to install. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKhYf8989oM We have also attached the youtube link here for your easy viewing. 

We think once you see how easy it is to install a solar powered water well pumping system from Advanced Power Inc you will be convinced you can certainly do it yourself if you like.

Winter time use-weep or drain holes


Important info for winter time use and over pressure of solar powered water pumps.

by mark fuqua on 02/19/12

Probably the largest cause of failure we see in solar pumps during the winter is over pressure.

 Over pressure on a solar powered well pump can be caused by several different problems in a solar pump installation. Probably the largest cause is lack of, or faulty weep or drain hole in the drop pipe in the well during freezing weather.

There must be a small hole in the drop pipe in the well below the frost line to allow the water in the pipe to drain when the pump shuts off so the water can't freeze in the pipe and cause the pump to come on against a frozen pipe.

 If the pipe doesn't drain and freezes solid with ice and the pump comes on it is like pumping against a valve that is shut off and causes the pump to create extreme pressure and damage. Even a properly installed weep hole can become clogged due to dirt or debris or hard water being pumped through the pipe over time. Please check your weep hole at the beginning of ever winter.

Also the pipe going to the tank must be allowed to drain properly. There should be no loops, low places or sags in the pipe that delivers the water to the tank or the pipe can freeze solid and have the same effect of damage as a plugged or non-existent weep hole. Please make sure your pipe going to your tank can drain properly.

If you have installed some type of valve or shut off on your pump delivery pipe, please make sure that the valve cannot be turned off while the pump is pumping. This is a direct restriction to the pump and will cause damage. Unless you have installed a pressure tank and switch as is used with many ac pumping systems, you should not close the valve while the pump is trying to run.

Attention to these important details can save solar pump users many dollars in repairs to their solar pumps. Thank you.

Machined Aluminum pumps

Here is a pic of some of the pieces of our machined aluminum parts for our DC submersible solar powered water pumps. This pic shows the raw aluminum pieces before the hard coating is applied. Aluminum transfers heat from the motor, out of the motor housing at a higher rate than most other metals used in pump manufacturing such as stainless steel. Just another way we are striving to build the best solar pumps on the market. View all our info at www.solarpumps.com.
