The Solarpex 1500W AC/DC Submersible Pump provides a versatile water pumping solution for boreholes, wells, farms and domestic water supply systems. With a 2HP power rating, a maximum head of 168 metres and a maximum flow rate of 5m³/h, it is suitable for installations that require substantial water lift.
Its AC/DC capability allows solar-powered operation alongside the option of a compatible AC supply through the appropriate controller. This flexibility makes it useful for properties looking to use solar energy for everyday pumping while retaining an alternative power option.
1500W Power for Water Supply Applications
Rated at 1500W, the pump is designed to transfer water from a suitable submerged source to storage tanks or delivery points. It can support domestic water storage, livestock watering and irrigation storage systems when matched to the required flow and total pumping head.
Maximum Head of 168 Metres
The 168m maximum head describes the pump’s maximum lifting capability. The actual working head includes the vertical lift from the pumping water level to the discharge point, pipe friction losses and any pressure needed at the outlet.
Maximum head is not the same as borehole depth. The pumping water level and delivery route determine whether this pump suits your installation.
Maximum Flow of 5,000 Litres per Hour
The pump has a maximum flow rating of 5m³/h, equivalent to 5,000 litres per hour. Actual water delivery varies with pumping height, pipe length, pipe diameter and available power.
The maximum flow and maximum head are separate performance limits. The pump will not deliver 5,000 litres per hour at a head of 168m. Selection should be based on the required water output at your installation’s working head.
Centrifugal Design with PPO Impellers
The centrifugal pumping system with PPO impellers moves water through the pump stages towards the outlet. Its submersible design is suited to appropriate clean-water installations, with the pump positioned below the water surface.
AC/DC Operating Flexibility
Solar DC operation allows the system to use available sunshine for water pumping. A compatible AC supply provides another operating option when required.
The pump’s rated voltage is 144V. Solar and AC inputs must be connected according to the controller’s specified requirements; the rated pump voltage should not be used alone to determine the solar panel arrangement.
Specified Solar Array Power of 2,250W
The specified 2,250W solar array provides the solar power provision for this pump. Panel selection and wiring must also meet the controller’s operating voltage, maximum input voltage and current limits.
Solar pumping output depends on sunlight intensity, panel positioning, shading and the system’s total pumping head.
1¼-Inch Outlet
The 1.25-inch outlet provides the delivery pipe connection. Suitable pipe sizing and pressure rating are essential, particularly for installations with significant vertical lift or long delivery distances.
