Description
The Dankoff Solaram Surface Pump 8241-24 is a high-efficiency, solar-powered water pump designed to meet the demands of remote or off-grid water pumping applications. This pump is ideal for challenging terrains, capable of pumping water up to 640 feet in elevation, making it suitable for applications like household water supply, village water systems, irrigation, and livestock watering.
Powered by a 24-volt DC system, this model operates directly from a photovoltaic (PV) panel, eliminating the need for external power sources and minimizing operational costs. With a minimum requirement of a 1,191-watt PV array, the Dankoff Solaram 8241-24 delivers an impressive flow rate of 5.1 gallons per minute (GPM) at 640 feet of total dynamic head (TDH). This makes it highly efficient and suitable for large-scale water distribution.
Durability is a standout feature, thanks to its cast aluminum body and oil-filled crankcase, which ensure longevity and resistance to harsh conditions. The pump's multi-diaphragm industrial design, paired with a permanent magnet DC motor, allows it to handle minor dirt contamination and run dry without sustaining damage. Additionally, it has a suction capacity of 25 vertical feet at sea level, adaptable for various installations, with minor adjustments needed at higher altitudes.
Key Features:
- High Lift Capability: Capable of pumping water up to 640 feet, ideal for uphill and long-distance water transport.
- Solar-Powered Efficiency: Operates directly from a PV panel, ensuring sustainable and cost-effective use.
- Rugged Construction: Cast aluminum body and oil-filled crankcase provide enhanced durability.
- Reliable and Low Maintenance: Tolerant of minor dirt and able to run dry without damage, simplifying upkeep.
