Description
The Dankoff Solar Force Piston Pump 3010-48 is a high-efficiency, 48VDC piston pump engineered for solar-powered water lifting and pressurization from shallow sources. Capable of delivering up to 4.9 gallons per minute (GPM) at a total dynamic head (TDH) of 140 feet, this pump operates at 226 watts with a maximum current draw of 5 amps. Its robust design and energy efficiency make it ideal for off-grid applications, including irrigation, livestock watering, and remote water supply systems.
Key Features:
-
High Efficiency: Designed to operate directly from a photovoltaic (PV) array, the SolarForce 3010-48 maximizes water output per watt of power, ensuring optimal performance even in low-light conditions.
-
Durable Construction: Built with high-quality materials, this pump offers long-term reliability and requires minimal maintenance, with wear parts typically lasting 5-10 years and an overall life expectancy of 15-20 years before a rebuild is needed.
-
Versatile Application: Suitable for various water sources, including shallow wells, springs, ponds, rivers, or storage tanks, and capable of pushing water uphill to a maximum head of 230 feet.
-
Solar Compatibility: Optimized for solar-direct systems, the pump can be powered directly by a PV array without the need for batteries, reducing system complexity and cost.
