Have you ever wondered about a solar water pump and how it actually works?  

Well many of our customers were wondering the same thing before they checked out our website at solarpumps.com and got educated on our Advanced Power Inc solar well pump products.

Perhaps the best thing about our website solarpumps.com is the installation video on our home page. Most people assume you have to have a well driller or pump installer come and install your solar system. Well that just isn’t the case. Once you get a good look at this video, you will realize that anyone can do it. Yes that’s right I said anyone who is healthy enough to perform normal day to day activities can put in their own solar powered water pump up to depths of around 200 ft. If your water is deeper than that, then the weight of the pump and pipe may start to dictate that you need someone with the equipment for some heavy lifting. Still, if you don’t happen to have it, normally a neighbor or friend may have the necessary equipment instead of having to hire someone to do it.

The system we have in the video is either a K170SR4 or the K170R4. The only thing different about these systems is the warranty of the pump. The SR4 has a 2 year warranty, where the RP4 has a 5 year warranty with registration. This includes 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.

The kit does not come with everything included in the video. Our solar water pumping kits that we ship all over the world include a solar pump with 100 feet of wire attached, 1, 2 or 3 solar panels depending on the size of system you order, and the mounting brackets and necessary wiring harnesses for the solar panels.

The customer is to provide the pump pipe, plumbing fittings and the pole for the solar panels.  It is also a great idea to have a ground rod kit.  Now for the top of the well we do have either a cap or seal available for a 4, 5 or 6 inch casing. If you already have a cap all you would need to do is drill a hole through the top so your pump pipe will fit thru and use a hose clamp to secure it so it won’t fall through. You will also need a second hole drilled in the cap so that the wire can be run through as well. It's important to note that with an Advanced Power Inc. solar pump you don't want to attach the weather pac connector to the end of your pump wire until you have pulled the wire through your well cap.

The most important thing that we would need to know to be able to size the right solar system for our customers is the casing size, depth to the top of the water and if there is any more elevation above ground to where the water is being delivered. We will also need to know how much water is needed for your specific situation.  We have 2 different sizes of diameter in our solar pumps and knowing the casing size will help us to help you better select the proper pump for your exact pumping situation.
