Running on Solar
Simple Pump is power-efficient, and ideal for running on solar.
The recommended configuration for a household includes batteries. Advantages are:
- The pump is not limited to sunlight periods of the day, for operation.
- Stored power allows operation over multiple days, when sunlight is less than ideal.
- Batteries easily absorb the current spike that happens on the work part of the pumping cycle.
For uses such as irrigation, and rangeland, a direct from panel to motor system offers a the more cost-effective and lower maintenance way to go.
Why Simple Pump is DRAMATICALLY more economical than the competition
There are two ways to pump your water - quickly with high power consumption, or over a longer time with low power consumption.
The reason that we're so much more efficient is that no-one in the mainstream pump industry has sat down and thought about creating a high-efficiency, lower-volume solution. They are all higher-throughput, higher-power-consumption pumps.
Submersible Pumps and Solar
When people say "well pump", they almost always mean (and just assume) the usual "submersible well pump". The reason for our much higher efficiency is that we're not using the same sort of technology. Even a relatively low-volume submersible pump generates much higher volume per minute than a Simple Pump Motor. But a single household does not require the volumes they can produce. Simple Pump can save thousands of dollars in solar panel costs.
Other Low-Demand Pump Solutions and Solar
THERE'S NOTHING LIKE THIS
Yes, there are other hand-pumps - (superficially in the same function ballpark as a Simple Pump, although more expensive and not manufactured to the same quality). But none of them has an equivalent motorized pump.
And none of them has an equivalent handpump-to-motorized upgrade path. The computer-driven machining of a Simple Pump ensures a consistent EXACT fit between pump head and motor. You can (in minutes) upgrade a hand pump to the motor, and be assured of a precise fit, even years in the future.
There is simply nothing equivalent to the solar-driven, motorized Simple Pump --- whether you go straight to solar now, or want to upgrade your hand-pump in the future.
Ultimate Water Security
You're cut off in the winter. Maybe for a few days. Maybe longer. A storm drops a branch through your solar panel. NO PROBLEM. You take out your Simple Pump handle. Five to ten minutes later (literally!), the motor is off, the lever-arm is on, and you're pumping water.
