Solar Pumps in and around Sydney
Transfer water fast using a solar pump, energy efficient, minimal cost to run and the bonus of saving money!
A solar pump is a water pump that is powered directly by the sun. This allows you to have an electric pump to transfer water that can easily be installed in a remote area away from mains power and can also reliably operate to give you a constant water supply all year around.
It is recommended a plumber install your solar pump. You can use one to connect your water tank to your tap or even toilet system to ensure that you are making the most of your recycled water. The Sydney Plumber can look at the area you want to use the water and make the right choice in the size pump you need to install at your home or business.
First check that the pump is completely submerged in water. If the pump isn't completely in water, it will run dry and result in a loud noise, and ultimately burn out. Always make sure the hose is correctly attached and there are no kinks. If this is not connected, then water will not reach the pump.
The pipe supplying the water to the building may be broken. It may be leaking, or it may be that the pipe is blocked. You need to call a Sydney Plumbing expert to inspect the pump asap. In addition, check that the riser pipe check valve is not open.
If the answer is NO then, this could be a sign of a leak in the line to the house or business. If this is the case, then you will need to check the line and fix it. If there is a problem with the check valve, it needs to be repaired or replaced.

A solar pump is designed to run directly off solar panels without the need to use batteries or mains power. The controllers supplied with the pumps can vary the speed of the motor which will in turn increase and decrease the flow rate according to the output for the solar panels.
The low voltage brushless pumps have a life expectancy of up to 20 years.
On cloudy days the pump will still run, but at a slower rate. The pump / panel combination is worked out allowing for all weather cycles.
The solar energy system has no moving parts, therefore extremely reliable. The pump motor is brushless, making it the most reliable electric motor available.
