Latest Technology For Well Pump


By Marcos Esteban
In this article, we are going to discuss the latest technology of well pump that is widely used across the world. Nowadays, there is an increasing trend to use natural resources as the best means of generating power. Thus sun is one of the best and major sources for generating energy. Solar power well pump is a great solution where water is required for remote location. Houses having water features such as well, pond, etc. in their backyard use solar powered pumps for maintaining their water features. Such pumps are more affordable as they required less equipment for generating energy. It is having fantastic features as it is designed for pumping water from wells. Also they are especially created for wells as they can easily fit into the well casing.

Well pump is available in many sizes that depend on the size of well casing which is generally 4-6 inches long. But older wells may also have well casing of less than 4 inches where it is very much difficult to fit such pump. Also installing solar power well pump is also very difficult for older wells. Apart from these drawbacks, you will find various benefits of installing recently introduced solar power well pump for your usage.

There are many benefits of using solar power well pumps and the foremost thing is that they are very much efficient. Most of the top quality pump manufacturers are using stainless steel housing and mechanism for creating such pumps. Because of the property of non corrosion, stainless steel will remain constant in water for many years and its mechanism helps to reduce wear and tear in the pump. Nowadays brush less DC motors for installing well pump are in trend because of their high efficiency. As they are brush less, the users do not need to remove it from well to change the brushes.

Another benefit of using the pump is that it is having low maintenance as there are only two items in its mechanism and it needs maintenance rarely. For maximum performance the solar panels should be washed off in once or twice in a year. And pumping mechanism should be replaced in every 5 years for longer life and increasing efficiency of the pump. Solar power well pumps are highly cost effective as the name itself indicates that its main source of energy is sunlight. In most climatic condition sun provides electric energy 8 hours per day and it pumps 2 gallons of water per minute, so it will pump out 1000 gallons of water per day that is enough for a big family which also have large fields of different crops.

The system of solar power well pump can be easily installed only in 3 days. Solar panel connectors are waterproof and soldering is not required. Solar pump connects the solar panels and sensors through screw. It can be easily connected with the power cables and have ease in plumbing. All you need is just to place it down into the well, finished the installation and water will start flowing.
