The Aquatec SWP-4000 is one of the most versatile submersible pumps, and can be used with solar, wind, or battery power as a perfect choice for wells, livestock or off-grid living. This kit includes a SolarLand 120w 24v polycrystalline panel and an Aquatec MPPT solar controller for a DIY installation. Or, if you already have a solar system, the pump can be purchased individually.
The stainless-steel housing is corrosion-resistant, and a built-in debris screen protects the pump from damage. The Aquatec brand pump and solar controller are manufactured in Southern California, packed in recyclable packaging and approved for potable water use by the FDA and the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF). The pump also includes a thermal protector that will shut it down if the unit gets too hot (which can occur if water pumps run low on water or don’t receive adequate airflow to cool the battery).
The Aquatec 4000 is a diaphragm pump (versus a rotary pump), so it’s recommended that it gets serviced every 3 to 5 years, however, it can be serviced on site. The SWP-4000 has a max flow rate of 1.7 GPM (at a 20-foot head) and can be used in depths up to 230 feet.
A real bonus for this submersible solar pump is the factory-installed plug wires. In order to prevent any water from entering, the manufacturer wires the power cable directly, and adds anti-wicking to the splice.
