Solaram Surface Pump
The Conergy Solaram Surface Pump
draws water from a shallow well, spring,
pond, river or tank. It can push water
uphill and over long distances for home,
village, irrigation or livestock uses.
It can use power directly from a
photovoltaic array to fill a storage
tank.
Ultra-efficient
- Uses less power than any other
pump in its range, starts pumping in
low light conditions
Economical
- Reduces power system cost by
25-75 % compared to centrifugal or
AC pumps
Rugged and Reliable
- Proven design with a 20 year
life expectancy
Simple to Maintain
Dirt-tolerant
Dry Run-tolerant
Easy-to-install
High Lift and Flow
Suction Capacity
- 25 vertical feet (7.6 m) at sea
level. Subtract 1 ft for every 1,000
ft elevation (1 m for every 1,000
m). Suction capacity may
be further limited by intake pipe
friction or gases in water. For best
reliability, place the pump as close
to the water source as
possible.
Construction
- Multiple diaphragm industrial
design
- Cast aluminum pump body
- Neoprene diaphragms backed by
pistons
- Non-toxic oil-filled crankcase
- Massive ball bearings
- Permanent Magnet DC Motor
- Gear (timing) belt drive
- Pressure relief valve include
Power System Requirements
- Solar (PV) array: Chart
indicates power (W) required at the
pump. For solar array-direct
(non-battery) systems, the rated
power of the PV array must exceed
the pump watts by 25 % or more.
- 120 V models: Use 10 x 12 V or 5
x 24 V modules in series.
- Linear Current Booster (pump
controller) is required to
facilitate starting and to prevent
stalling in low-light conditions.
- Solar tracker: Optional, to
increase daily yield (typically
30%).
Accessories
- 1 1/4” (31.2 mm) Foot Valve
(Item #DSP-11044) if pump is placed
higher than water source
- Float Switch (Item #DSP-11003)
for remote shut-off of the pump when
tank fills
- Diaphragm and Oil Kit (Item
#DSP-08503): Supplies for regular
preventive maintenance
- Long-term Parts Kit: (Item
#DSP-08504) Three Diaphragm and Oil
Kits, plus a gearbelt and a motor
brush set
Fittings
- Intake: 1-11/4” (25.4-31.2 mm)
male pipe thread
- Outlet: 1” (25.4 mm) female pipe
thread
Dimensions
- 28” W x 16.5” H x 16” D (710 x
420 x 410 mm)
- Weight, max. 150 lbs (68 kg)
Warranty
- 1 year against defects in
materials and workmanship
