12 volt solar deep well pump

I'm testing out this DC 12Volt Solar Deep Well Water Pump Submersible Water Pump Pond Irrigation Farm Purchased from Ebay like most products out of china you can never quite trust the specs supplied so I'm experimenting with a simple solar setup in a abandoned stock well. It worked well all I needed was the pump and 2 100 watt Newpowa solar panels no battery, charge or motor control required. A very simple setup which would be useful in many off grid,emergency or ranching situations.
With this pump the motor seized after a couple of years I just replaced with this one.

Love watching Aussies do stuff like this. Thanks for subscribing and I'll be watching your videos too. Well done Damo

Just received my 12 volt DC screw pump from "TEMU". $75.00 CDN inc shipping to my door. Figuring now how to hook up a switch when tank is full. For my cabin.

[@wildchild2193]

That pump uses 180 w and you got 200 hooked up that's why you walking in front of it turns it off. I'm glad to see it work

[@donnareeves9613]

Can you explain?

[@oldfarmer9004]

So if I set it up in a northern climate, it should pump all day until the sun goes down and if you drill a tiny hole in your pipe below the frost line it should drain back down to prevent freezing overnight and when the sun comes back up it’ll pump all day again. Cool

[@damocsell]

Yep it could work like that with this unit i don't think you even need the drain hole it seemed to drain back down anyway.

[@MusafirsSoul]

Drain hole is needed if the system is sealed at the top. But this is open ended

[@oscargutierrez3042]

If you use lcb controler you can hook another 2 panels in series and parallel to make more volts and you will not have to many problems with power 2 solar panel in series 18v 5amp +18 5amp = 36v 5amps 1 solar panel parallel 39v 9amps + 36v 5amps = 36v14 amps With the lcb controler frome amazon that is the best and easiest way to use your solar pump without battery

[@noel1637]

Are you connecting the solar panel directly to the pump? Or do you have any kind of controller in between?

[@damocsell]

Directly to the pump

[@chadkeever9437]

So cool

[@tomh.3513]

24v or 48V is way more efficient and better than 12V; i would never use 12V pump

[@damocsell]

Ohms law means you are correct BUT you ignore all the advantages of 12 volt dc and hence mistaken when you say you would never use a 12 volt pump. You probably already are and don't realize it.

[@waitingformyclone119]

I bought a similar 1 that shorted out after 2 uses. The seal apparently is rather bad. Is yours still running? Also mine came with 15 m of 1.5 mm2 cable. Have you ever calculated what voltage drop that has with 12V 20A? You almost lose 1/2 of your voltage. Even replacing (cutting the thin cable and try to make a waterproof connection with the thicker cable) by 6mm2 cable, trying for that max depth of 30m will be a challenge. The physics of voltage drop is a real bummer for a 12 v deep well pump. But if it runs, it runs. Dont move it too much or that seal will create a leak and it is a paper weight...

[@damocsell]

I'll check and see I've already had a few uses but it's been sitting in a well for about 6 months and I would be interested to see if it still works.

[@PhysicsViolator]

I got the 48v version that pumps water up to 100m…

[@damocsell]

This unit just failed on me but I got a couple of years use out of it.

[@SaadonAksah]

Awesome! I'm thinking of gett ing one for my well. Do you have a video on how you attach the wiring from the pump to the solar panel and how you attach the garden hose to the pump? Do you use any valve for the garden hose?

How I can get this

[@rvlucky2909]

Where did you get the pump pretty nice setup thank you for sharing

[@damocsell]

I purchased it through ebay

I want it, how much tz sh?

[@damocsell]

It was 76 US dollars when I purchased.

[@abukartimacadechannel7647]

Thanks for sharing but how can I get

[@damocsell]

I purchased this from Ebay

[@jeffcushman9725]

Why not use a deep cycle battery with that ?

[@damocsell]

Yes I could have that would have allowed a smaller solar array but complicated the install. One of the coolest things about this setup is its simplicity.

[@janedoe8994]

That's what I like simplicity and sustainability. Very Cool. I would prefer the solar Grunfos pump, even though alittle more buckaroos😅😊!!

[@450rhino1]

@@damocsell This would also have the pump run 24-7, with no rest. I am presently figuring a switch at the cabin when tank is full.

[@mahamrihamid8747]

Is it still working?

[@damocsell]

Glad you asked No it failed a couple of months ago after about a year of heavy usage on my new homestead.

[@mahamrihamid8747]

@@damocsell thanks for the reply. Which one do you recommend for heavy usage?

[@damocsell]

@@mahamrihamid8747 I cant recommend as I have only just started using it but www.ebay.com/itm/353747335124

[@damocsell]

@@mahamrihamid8747 That pump is about twice the price of the one in first video and it pumps using a different system. So ill see if it lasts any longer.

[@damocsell]

Also a lot of different variables will dictate what pump you need. depth of well,water needs,well water production,water storage type ETC ETC

[@damocsell]

My new pump will work like this as well. kzbin.info/www/bejne/amqWlJiInbt9nqM

[@_ardochunter6827]

How deep was it

[@damocsell]

About 50 feet and possibly 10 foot under the water.
