Frequently asked questions
Which solar borehole pump do I need?
It depends on two numbers. The first is total head: the water level in the borehole, plus the tank height, plus about 10% for pipe friction. The second is how much water you need per day. Choose a pump whose maximum head is comfortably above your total head. Send us those numbers and we'll recommend a pump.
Which pump do I need for a 100m borehole?
If the water level is near 100m, you need a pump rated well above that. Two options are the 109m screw pump (PUSC10) and the 123m centrifugal pump (PUBO123). If the water level is shallower than the borehole depth, a smaller pump may do. Work from the water level, not the borehole depth.
Do solar borehole pumps need batteries?
No. They run straight from solar panels in daylight, using the controller supplied with the pump. If you need water at night or in bad weather, the PUIN pumps also run on AC power.
Screw pump or centrifugal pump?
Screw pumps use little power and lift well, with a steady low flow, so they suit households and small livestock. Centrifugal pumps give much higher flow, so they suit gardens, irrigation and larger herds.
How much water does a household need?
Allow about 150–250 litres per person per day. A solar pump works about 6 sunny hours a day, so divide your daily need by 6 to get the flow rate in litres per hour. Our borehole pump guide lists the 7 questions we ask before recommending a pump.
