Water Pumping and Water Filtration Systems
We offer design and installation of water pumping systems and filtration systems for home, livestock or irrigation needs.
Water Pumping Systems
Water pumping systems for livestock or
irrigation are simple: a DC pump pumping water into a trough powered by a
DC photovoltaic array, wind turbine, or hydro power system. A heater to
keep the water from freezing can also be powered by a simple DC system.
The system is sized to ensure that the water in storage doesn't run dry
during extended periods of cloudy weather. A simple controller can
regulate the voltage supply to the pump and shut the pump off when the
water storage tank is full.
Pumping water with a solar
system makes sense – most water needs are during the longer days of
spring, summer, and fall. Systems can designed to be portable, mounted
on a trailer and moved from well to well as needed.
While pumping into a water storage tank is cost
efficient for most ranchers or water users, batteries and a charge
controller can be added to store power for sunless periods.
Great Solar Works! utilizes high efficiency Grundfos pumps that operate on both AC and DC current. These pumps are long-lived and very reliable.
