"The World's Most Economical Solar Pump"
RELIABLE AND MAINTENANCE-FREE
PS600 eliminates the weakest links in solar pumping by
using helical rotor (progressive cavity) and centrifugal
pump ends and a brushless and water-filled motor.
No failure-prone diaphragms, no flooded-motor failures
and no electronics in the well!
- Lift from as deep as 600 ft (230 m)
- Maximum 20,000 gallons per day (100 m3)
- PS600 eliminates the costs of fuel, delivery, engine
maintenance, and pollution.
- In many cases it COSTS LESS than a conventional
pump and generator installation
- Great reliability and life expectancy
- High resistance to sand and corrosion
- Fits 4" and larger well casings
- Wide voltage range for 48 to 72V systems (4-6 solar
modules in series). Only one controller for solar direct or
battery systems.
DEEP WELL APPLICATIONS
The pump can be submersed as deep as necessary. Submersion depth does not affect the performance or place additional stress on the pump or motor.
SURFACE WATER APPLICATIONS
The pump can be installed in a stream, pond, tank or shallow well, in any position.
DRY RUN PROTECTION
An optional low water probe turns pump off to prevent dry-run damage. Reset is automatic after 20 minutes. The PS600 Controller has an RPM limit adjustment to reduce the maximum flow rate to about 50 %, to help match a limited water source.
SAND AND SILT TOLERANCE
The pump has high resistance to wear from sand, clay, etc. that may occur in a properly constructed water well. However, a concentration of solids greater than 2% (by volume) may cause blockage in the pump or the drop pipe, especially at low flow rates. Do not use the pump to clean
out a dirty well.
CONTROLLER
MPPT, well probe and float-/remote switch terminals
Lights indicate: system on, pump on, pump speed, tank full, water source low, overload, and battery low. Protected against reverse polarity, overload and high temperature.
BATTERY SYSTEMS
LOW-VOLTAGE DISCONNECT prevents battery damage from overdischarge. This feature is included in the controller.
Disconnect - Reconnect 44V?52V
STORAGE REQUIREMENT
A storage tank (not included) should be sized to supply a minimum of 5-10 days' water supply, depending on climate and application. Water storage is generally more economical than energy storage in batteries.
DROP PIPE
1" NPT pump outlet on 07, 04, 04H and 03H. 1 1/4' NPT on 20 and 14. If water is dirty, consider a smaller size drop pipe to increase the flow velocity. This helps exhaust solid particles and prevent accumulation in the pipe. When considering reduced pipe size, consult a pipe sizing (friction loss) chart. Pipe can be of any standard material, rigid or flexible.
A torque arrestor is NOT required.
PUMP CABLE and SPLICE
Standard submersible cable, 3-wire + ground (total 4 wires). Connection to the pump is made using industry-standard splicing methods.
DIMENSIONS & WEIGHTS
- Controller: 17" x 7" x 6" (425 x 175 x 150 mm)
- 3 conduit holes: 1/2", 3/4", and 1 1/4" KO
- Weight: 11 lbs (4.8 kg)
- Enclosure: gasket-sealed, weatherproof
WETTED MATERIALS
316 stainless steel, chromium, NBR rubber, natural rubber, POM, polyurethane (cable)
TEMPERATURE LIMITS
- Pump: Specify Temperature Class on order
- Class 1 46° F to 72° F
- Class 2 64° F to 90° F
- Class 3 82° F to 104° F
- Controller: Ambient -22° to 131° F (-30° C to 55° C)
NEED MORE WATER?
Consider the PS1200 system. This systems use more power, to pump as high as 750 ft (230m) and as much as 25,000 gallons per day.
INSTALLATION
Install the pump by the same methods and materials used for conventional submersible pumps. The PS600 instruction manual is clearly illustrated. No special product training is required.
OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT:
Low-water probe
4 wire submersible cable splice kit, 3 wire + ground
Disconnect and Junction box
TWO YEAR MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY against defects in materials and workmanship.
