Description
The Dankoff Solar Force Piston Pump 3010-12B is a robust and efficient 12VDC solar-powered water pump designed for off-grid water pumping applications. Ideal for remote locations, agricultural irrigation, livestock watering, and domestic water supply, this pump offers reliable performance with minimal maintenance.
Key Features:
- High Efficiency: Delivers up to 4.9 gallons per minute (GPM) at a 140-foot lift, ensuring ample water supply for various needs.
- Low Power Consumption: Operates at 226 watts, making it suitable for solar-powered systems and reducing energy costs.
- Durable Construction: Built with a cast iron body and brass cylinder, designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions and provide long-lasting service.
- Easy Maintenance: Features an oil-bath crankcase and neoprene valve seals, simplifying upkeep and extending the pump's lifespan.
The SolarForce 3010-12B is engineered to handle dirty water and tolerate dry running, making it versatile for various water sources. Its suction capacity reaches up to 25 vertical feet at sea level, with adjustments for higher elevations. The pump includes a surge tank to minimize pressure fluctuations and ensure smooth operation.
Installation is straightforward, with 1¼-inch female pipe thread intake and 1-inch female pipe thread outlet fittings. The pump's compact dimensions (22" x 13" x 16") and weight (approximately 34 lbs) facilitate easy handling and installation.
Designed for solar-direct systems, the SolarForce 3010-12B requires a photovoltaic (PV) array with a rated power exceeding the pump's 226-watt requirement by at least 20%. A pump controller (linear current booster) is necessary for optimal performance under varying light conditions. For pressurized systems, a battery power setup, pressure switch, and a minimum 60-gallon pressure tank are recommended.
With a life expectancy of over 20 years and a maintenance schedule of 2 to 6 years, the Dankoff SolarForce 3010-12B offers a reliable and cost-effective solution for off-grid water pumping needs.
