We offer plug and play Water Pumping Kits. It does not get much easier than this. Drop a hose into the tank and connect to the intake of the pump. Connect the garden hose to the pumps out-flow. Attach solar panel to the contol box to recharge the battery. Don't have great sun where the tank lives? No worries, just disconnect the hoses and move the controller box and solar panel to a sunny spot. Don't have a sunny spot? Then ask us about the adapter for pluggng it into a wall outlet.

When the pump operates for 45 minutes the pump will get warm but nowhere near the over heating point. This pump is designed to run for about 45 minutes and should be shut off to cool for 15 minutes. This pump should never be run when there is no water to pump - don't burn up the pump. To keep the pump from running when there is no water in the tank you need to install Float Switch. We will have those available by special order.

This pump puts out an average of 3.3 gallons per minute at about 40 PSI. There is a built in pressure switch that cuts off the pump at 40 PSI. So when you let off of the sprayer handle the pump knows that and shuts off the pump. When you pull the trigger the pump will start back up. So in doing the math if you have a 50 gallon barrel divided by 3minutes of pumping time the barrel will drain in about 15 minutes. If you have a 200 gallon tank you could drain it all in just about an hour!

The solar panel is 20 Watt. A Charge Controller keeps the battery from over charging. Yes, it is possible to add additional solar panels to reduce the recharge times. The battery is a sealed 12 Volt DC. You could run the pump for a total of 4 hours with this configuration. With total sun for recharging it will take about 4 hours to recharge the battery.
