Description
The Dankoff Solaram Surface Pump 8142-24 is a high-performance, solar-powered water pump designed to efficiently move water from shallow sources to elevated destinations. Ideal for residential, agricultural, and livestock applications, this pump offers reliable and sustainable water delivery without reliance on traditional power sources.
Key Features:
-
High Lift Capability: Capable of pushing water up to 320 feet of total dynamic head (TDH), making it suitable for applications requiring significant elevation gain.
-
Efficient Solar Operation: Operates directly from a photovoltaic (PV) panel, minimizing energy consumption and reducing operational costs.
-
Durable Construction: Features a multi-diaphragm industrial design with a cast aluminum body and an oil-filled crankcase, ensuring longevity and reliability.
-
Maintenance-Friendly: Designed for easy maintenance with wear parts typically lasting 5-10 years and an overall life expectancy of 15-20 years before requiring a rebuild.
Product Description:
The Dankoff Solaram Surface Pump 8142-24 is engineered to draw water from sources such as shallow wells, ponds, springs, rivers, or tanks, and transport it uphill over long distances. Its robust design allows it to handle challenging terrains and deliver water efficiently to homes, villages, irrigation systems, or livestock facilities.
Powered directly by solar energy, the 8142-24 model operates without the need for batteries, making it an eco-friendly and cost-effective solution. Its permanent magnet DC motor ensures optimal performance, even in low-light conditions, while the built-in pressure relief valve adds an extra layer of safety during operation.
The pump's construction includes a cast aluminum body and a non-toxic oil-filled crankcase, providing durability and resistance to harsh environmental conditions. Its multi-diaphragm design enhances efficiency and reliability, ensuring consistent water flow over extended periods.
Maintenance is straightforward, with wear parts designed to last between 5 to 10 years, depending on usage. The overall life expectancy of the pump is between 15 to 20 years before a rebuild is necessary, offering long-term value and peace of mind.
