Continuous duty solar pump (circulation)2007-11-24 23:11:04

In my 5000 gallons tank...I would like to pump ( lift) its water to about 10 ft. high, store in a tank and and then filter the water before it drops down by gravity into the main tank.continuous circulation.

I am looking for a "solar pump" that can do this task...and I will be happy if it can do a minimum of 5 gallons per minute. I have most of solar equipment ...only missing part is the actual pump...Need one to have nothing to "ware out"...no diaphram, no piston...would impeller be the choice?

thaks

Chris, I work for The Solar Center in Denville NJ, and I got to be honest here. I haven't heard of any "solar pump" out there. It might be powered by PV (photovoltaic cells) but I don't know. When I go into work tomorrow, I'll ask some of the engineers about this and if they know anything, I'll post you a follow up link.

Also, something that will really help find a suitable pump, if there is one, is getting pics of your tank layout, to find where it should be emplaced properly. One big thing about solar arrays, is your best effeciency is true south oriented roofs. I've submitted over 2000 permits since I've been working for The Solar Center, and I do know the engineers need to know these things to draw up thier schematics. Pictures will help my engineers assess your mechanical capabilities as well, if you could please post me some snaps of your tank set up from different angles as well as the orientation of the roof sir.
