Description
This is a high-performance, off-grid water solution designed specifically for the Kenyan climate. Utilizing German technology and a robust brushless DC motor, this pump is engineered for longevity and efficiency, making it a favorite for “Lipa Mdogo Mdogo” (pay-as-you-go) and cash sales alike.
Key Features
-
Brushless DC Motor: High efficiency and low maintenance compared to traditional brushed motors.
-
External MPPT Controller: Automatically optimizes power from your solar panels to ensure maximum water flow even in low-light conditions.
-
Stainless Steel Body (SS304): Corrosion-resistant and durable for long-term submersion in boreholes or wells.
-
Built-in Protections: Over-voltage, under-voltage, and dry-run protection (it stops if the water level drops too low).
Performance & Capability
This pump is a powerhouse for its size, perfectly matching the specs you need:
-
Maximum Flow Rate: 3,500 L/h to 5,000 L/h (varies by depth).
-
Maximum Head (Lift): Up to 55 Meters.
-
Power: 500W / 0.7 HP.
-
Voltage: 48V DC.
Ideal Usage:
-
Small-Scale Irrigation: Perfect for drip systems or overhead watering for up to 1-2 acres.
-
Domestic Water Supply: Reliable for pumping water to elevated tanks for home use.
-
Livestock Watering: Steady supply for cattle, poultry, or goats in remote areas.
-
Boreholes & Shallow Wells: Designed for 3-inch or larger casings.
Solar Panel Requirements
To get the full 3,500L/h – 5,000L/h output, you need a solar array that provides more than the 500W rated power to account for energy loss.
-
Minimum Setup: 2 x 330W panels (connected in series) = 660W.
-
Recommended Setup: 3 x 300W panels (connected in series/parallel) = 900W (Best for cloudy days and peak performance).
-
Voltage Range: Ensure the VOC (Open Circuit Voltage) of your panels stays within the controller’s limit (typically <100V).
Warranty & Pricing
-
(Hardware only).
-
Warranty: 12 Months against manufacturing defects (ensure you buy from authorized dealers like KopoSoko.com.
