Dankoff SIP Water Pumping Kits
Dankoff SIP Water Pumping Kits
For the easiest method of installing a solar powered water pump, we recommend the Dankoff Solar Simple Independent Pumping (SIP) kits. They are designed and assembled by the manufacturer which reduces the chance for errors or problem that may void the warranty. There are three different units to choose from. The SP1 and SP2 are powered by direct solar and the SP1-B comes with a battery backup so that the pump can be operated at night or in adverse weather conditions. Dankoff also offers an extended battery backup kit, the ADD4, which increases the total days of autonomy to 5 or 6 depending upon the location and application. The SIP kits are designed for fresh water pumping from sources such as rivers, lakes, ponds, shallow wells, holding tanks and cisterns. The kits come with everything you need except for the solar panels, solar panel mounts and a copper grounding rod.
