I have 14 of these pumps on the ranch and have mixed results. Some have lasted ten years others will leak water into the motor and fail in weeks. They are easy to work on and can be pulled and hauled home. They work well in the winter if you drill a weep hole to allow the water to drain below the frost line. Wells below fifty feet do not work as well as the shallower wells. We have been using larger solar pumps that pump from below 300 feet at a much higher cost.
can you please tell me, Which pump are you using for pulling water its horsepower? the wattage of your solar panels and do you have 1 inch or 3/4 inch pipe? How many gallons per minute does it pump?
As a professional groundwater contractor, it bothers me that people do not know how to properly terminate the well head/seal. The hole they put the eyebolt through is there to monitor water level on the well and to place disinfectants. It is not there for an eyebolt. Then there is the rope they used. Any rope is a great place for bacteria to hide inside. This can cause the well to have bacterial issues. Who thinks this rope is stronger than the wire in the well? The use of rope is old technology. On top of this are grounding issues. There should be a bond to a ground rod, from the pump's ground wire to the solar panels and racking. This is to equalize the potential to ground and prevent electrocution. There is a lot more to discuss about grounding that would take a lot more space.
Beautiful workmanship. One thing I like to do with electrical wires is to stagger the cuts, short, medium and long. Just in case vibration wears off the heat shrink insulation (or cockroaches eat it, or it basically dry rots away) there won't be any exposed wire to contact with another wire. It also makes the finished bundle with the last heat shrink over the whole bundle a lot skinner.
Had a borehole pump failure a few years back.. tape had fallen into the bottom of the borehole and been sucked in to the pump..jamming the impellor .Better to use strong zip ties to secure cable and polypipe..rather than tape..
hello. i have a question about how you tie the rope together with the pipe and wire. we can see clearly at 12:20 that the yellow rope is making that loop. isn't it going to break the electrical tape that you used to tie everything together when the system will fill in with water?
thanks so much this is a typical solution to food security thanks for the invention it will fulfill dreams to farmers on living wealthy without stress in life.
shouldnt the tension be on the rope itself and not the pipe? or the rope is just for security and thi pipe can carry the weight of the pump? nice installation overall
AS an electronics designer and system installer, If you use electrical in an exposed situation like this, the tape you should be using is NOT #33 3M. You should use # 88. It has a different adhesive that will not degrade.
Very neat job One thing I might have missed. You took two depth readings. How did you decide how deep to drop the pump? Too high and it might dry out i'm guessing, too low and you could pick up more sediment?
Great video. very informative. The thing I most wanted to see was how deep to place the pump in relation to the water level, but you never told us that. How do you figure out how deep you put it?
The analysis of pump test results may be used to determine the pump depth. Without pump test done, others put pumps at least 10m from the borehole depth
Can this be drained for winterizing in northern climates? Looking to only use it for summer irrigation and don't want to deal with the hassle of making the connection to the piping 4 feet underground.
Who makes the poly adapter that you use? Where can I buy them? I can not find them on the internet. Do they make 1/1/4 inch size? Maybe you can add links to your suppliers.
I must have missed something on the panel connection detail. If you are getting (almost) 40 volts with a parallel wiring connection, wouldn't you be getting close to 80 volts with the panels connected in a series configuration?
I would suggest brass or stainless for the pipe and Tee if you are worried about corrosion. The copper fittings wouldn't fit the well seal right. Kenny
well the pump hangs on a pipe and cable itself as the rope was loose when they put the lid on well :) Shouldn't the pump be supported by rope rather then pipe and cable?
I have a SDS-D-128. My solar system (12 volts ) charges my batteries (used in part by other devices) how do I hook up the pump direct to the battery Lynn
i have a spring and its roughly 8 ft deep and 4 ft. diameter. i have a 110 invertor . will this pump work on my set up if its 500 ft from my house with a 50 ft drop in elevation?
Do Rain harvesting, Rainwater harvesting helps for groundwater recharge, rain water harvesting is one of the best solutions to water problem in the areas having inadequate water resources. Please save water.

i want to give you a new skill when crimping wires (red blue green) : do not crimp wires on the same point of the cable! keep then sequenced one higher of the another i mean don't let them meet together when you tie them with the plastic sleeve keep going
You're a lifesaver. This is the BEST tutorial video on TH-cam.

Suddenly well drilling is equal to doctors and lawyers....... everything is pro.
Nice craftsmanship in the video. Very through with instruction. One of the best I’ve seen on TH-cam
i like how u guys are not afraid of those arcs everyone needs to stop being afraid of low voltage high amperage...
You will have the time

Good advice 👍
We in Australia don't use use plastic rope as it breaks to easy, we use Stainless Steel 5 mm cable and this never fails
Great system for off grid. Hand pump option is a must. Check valve will save stress on the pump. Great video.
I greatly appreciate the fine details on well pumps.

Stainless steel zip ties are inexpensive.

Im from Pakistan and thats professional work good job👌👌👍👍👍
Surprised that the fitting kits are not Stainless steel now? Galvanized is so fraught with long term issues
Respect,I need to have the very same sun pump but I don’t have the equipment...
What was the set up depth?, what is the pump head pressure? A lot of info missing.
You missed one part. How high up from the bottom do you want the pump?
Where did you get your power supply I didn't see any battery connect to the solar panels
Great video. I installed my submersible pump based on your video. It went so easy.
thanks so much this is a typical solution to food security thanks for the invention it will fulfill dreams to farmers on living wealthy without stress in life.
Are these types of pumps available in Uganda East Africa???
Secondly how do you dig the well ?
Thanks
shouldnt the tension be on the rope itself and not the pipe? or the rope is just for security and thi pipe can carry the weight of the pump? nice installation overall
thanks for sharing ... y'all running a professional outfit
My casing for my old well is only 4" sized PVC pipe ....is there a pump that would fit?
AS an electronics designer and system installer, If you use electrical in an exposed situation like this, the tape you should be using is NOT #33 3M. You should use # 88. It has a different adhesive that will not degrade.
What about #53? I think it's better
I like #69....
I'll let myself out....
I love that 10mill tape, so much better than electricians tape
How are you, does a solar panel burn if you reverse polarity on a 250watts direct borehole pump
Very neat job
One thing I might have missed. You took two depth readings. How did you decide how deep to drop the pump? Too high and it might dry out i'm guessing, too low and you could pick up more sediment?
Good job !

Love that you put the secondary heat shrink. Would of like to of seen it with the adhesive. Never can be to careful. It’s no fun pulling a pump.
Great work guys !l learnt a lot

True
Tie the bottle to the tape measure. Also that is the wrong head on the torch for that. Also the black tape is silly after the expensive shrink wrap.
There at 9:59 in the video. Can you use copper pipe instead of the galvanized pipe there?
I would suggest brass or stainless for the pipe and Tee if you are worried about corrosion. The copper fittings wouldn't fit the well seal right. Kenny
Before you put the cap you must chek the rope ...all weigh must be on rope and not to the plastic pipe and cable ... that mean no tape to the rope
Congrats for nice video. Question: what size have the blue pipe and what size have the pump? Thanks
What kind of pumps are you used? And what IS thé deep of your borh?
What is the total cost of 800ft full set of pump motor starter cabel and hose??
well the pump hangs on a pipe and cable itself as the rope was loose when they put the lid on well :) Shouldn't the pump be supported by rope rather then pipe and cable?

Question?
What is the voltage of the sump pump?
( doesn’t tge voltage of the dump pump also more or less match the voltage of the solar panels? Thnx)
can a hair dryer be used instead of propane torch? very helpful ... ha ha Ike and Mike...
I have a SDS-D-128. My solar system (12 volts ) charges my batteries (used in part by other devices) how do I hook up the pump direct to the battery

Very smart control panel and pump with inverter...
Why do they complicate it. All this for a well?
Wonderful teachers you're, great presentation would want to watch more suchlike and thanks.
Can you please confirm how far off the bottom of the well was the pump installed. Thanks 👍👍
Excellent job.
But water pressure is very low
Congratulations well done job...
God job, what is the model of solar cell
I'd like to drill a well in central Florida and use a 12v pump.. possible? what I expect to pay If I plan to install the pump myself?
What is the problem if you press pump button but power cable bust under hole ?
How deep can i go with these pumps? Need 350 feet
Nice little set up. I need to order one of these for my well furthest from the homestead.
Tbon travail,fini et propre.si possible:puissance des 4 panneaux solaires et hauteur d'élévation(hmt),merci.
Do you have a link for this exact setup? Whats the price?
With little investment, Africa can become a miracle.
You can say that again. Coming from an African from Switzerland..
Are you marketing your equipment in the Louisiana area? If so who?
That's a strong sucker pump. Submersible pumps
What if you will drop the bottle in borewell,
Good sir how voltage the pump?

Thanks, how much does it cost?
Thanks for your time today to see how you service the pump
I really hate Poly adapters. I have so much failure rates using them in other plumbing applications
What's the maximum depth on these pumps?
5000feets
Video was put together with all the info I needed to install.
Can we get such pumps in India.
Very good demonstration. Continued success to SunPumps. Do you export equipment to Ireland...?
Thank you very much for the efforts you make for us💯👍👍 شكرا جزيلا
awesome video thanks for taking it to step by step, your video is awesome!!!!
That’s professional.. I’m glad to watch it ..
