I wish every company I dealt with was as good as RPS! The online information covers everything and is high quality. The sales / customer service team helped this first-time well-owner with all details and took the time to discuss and explain when needed. When I received our RPS 800 with full turnkey kit for our off-grid property, I read the outstanding manual from cover to cover. After that I made all of the connections, did a bucket test, and everything worked the first time. On installation day, everything went smoothly and it was so rewarding to get water pouring out of the well after turning the system on! We have another off-grid property which needs a well so now I’m a repeat customer after ordering a second RPS kit. I highly recommend RPS to anyone needing a system.
So awesome. In the process of buying a house with a well. I’ll definitely be buying one. Great video. I plan to connect straight to the house as back up when electricity goes out.
Brilliant! Thank you for sharing this magnificent video on solar water pumping! That's we need a couple of thousands of these solar water pumping systems in Papua New Guinea!
Great system; great service BUT Need a video showing exactly how to handle the wiring through the well seal and to the controller--you mention flexible conduit but don't show an example. Do you need some kind of rubber insert for the well seal in your kit? A jam nut? Could use some help w/that. TIA

Never ever use poly pipe for such an installation unless you have the equipment to pull that pipe up from a great depth full of water. I made the mistake of using 1.25" poly pipe to a depth of 200 ft and it weighs 500 lbs, I don't have the tools to pull it up and what is worse is none of the half-dozen well service companies in this county will deal with poly pipe. They complain that the pipe will kink and be damaged during the pulling and their insurance company will not cover them if they reinstall it. They insist on replacing the poly with PVC and special couplings. The material cost to me to replace the pump now includes $800 extra just for a new pipe string. Putting the poly in is easy as the pipe is empty of water.
@@pauljohnson2372 That would have worked if I had prepared a year before the event. Instead, the company replaced everything, the pump, motor, pipe string, check valve, pressure tank, relays, and control box for a cost of $6800.
Excellent video! Have you ever taped the wire to the pipe drop? Fortunately our installer taped the electrical to the pipe drop every 10 ft and when the pipe drop came out of the well head, pulled all of the connections loose they were able to fish it out and since wires were taped, it was repairable. 😊
This is great. So many others just make a 5 min video pointing at things and components, naming them and reading from a brochure card. Seeing it put together helps me understand how it works and what I need to replace my AC pump with a DC solar pump. Well done. I want to put it on a 48v battery bank, do I also need a charge controller or does the controller that comes with like the RPS400 kit handle the charging as well?
Hey Shane, an RPS 400 comes with a an RPS Universal charge controller, pump and solar panels(along with some solar wiring and a few more items for install). The Universal Charge controller will handle the charging and discharging of the batteries associated with an RPS 400 system, no need to add on parts!
I really liked this video, well done! We are in Kentucky and have a cattle ranch. We would be interested in a well system that could be hooked to a Ritchie waterer just as if it were attached to city water, which we currently using. Not sure how it could all be integrated and how the well would be drilled, but I’m sure you could explain it all and help. Thanks, James.
I know a guy that put one of your pumps in a pasture. My neighbor helped him and I want to go see it this spring. Thet are pleased with it. Will keep your phone number
This system looks like it would be ideal for many of my clients. How do the components hold up in outdoor salty environments? Most of their empty lots would be off grid at the beach. Constant wind and salt spray, and a long rainy season has been a rough go for most systems installed in the past. How do those low water level detectors hold up if there is any iron in the water? Do you have international distributions set up/ship to Panama at all?
The pumps and piping will hold up great, there is always some concerns with the mounting and panels, but if you keep them clean you shouldn't have a problem.
@@RPSSolarPumps thank you. I have about 8 clients that ended up buying these systems so I’ll be installing them over the coming months. Do you also sell spare parts of say the male x insert SS extra long fitting? Does it need to be a special reinforced electrical tape or would the standard stuff work for the submerged parts?
You're doing a fantastic job! I need some advice: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). What's the best way to send them to Binance?
I recently purchased the solar aerator for my 1/2 pond. Do you have a video dedicated to that assembly? Second question: is there a way to alternate between the aerator and pump?
If installing by yourself ? Take a wheelbarrow without a tire but the wheel still on it. Turn wheel barrow upside down and us the wheel to bend the poly pipe over the edge without having it kink or scrape on the edge of the down pipe. Worked for me when by myself. Otherwise have your friend help.

I just bought this system , I had to ship it to my business partner in the USA and then have them ship it to me here in SVG, it should be in my hands by November this year My well is about 8ft, low well. Question (1) how low should I drop the pump at that depth? Question( 2) my tanks is on a hill ascend about 50ft up will the pump be able to pump the water to that height in a sufficient manner?

Looking in to a solar pump as our current setup is at 20years and nearing end of life. Silly question, but what about water pressurizers? We’ve got an old Grundfos 1.5hp pushing pressure through 2 75 gallons tanks for the house and 5 acre ranch property. Tanks are in good shape thankfully
A solar pump works exactly like an AC pump in that capacity, you just get a properly sized pump to fit what ever pressure requirements you have. Need 60 psi? tell our techs that and theyll take it into account. You probably wont be far off of using a 1.5HP again, just this time you'll be powering of of solar. And since there are lots of different 1.5 HP pump options out there, we just find the one that fits your well depth and provides enough flow rate for the ranch applications + house
I have a sump pump thats killing me on my power bill. I need a solution that will provide solar power to my pump 100% of the time. Is this something that you folks can assist me with? 🤔

Hello, please I have some questions regarding the low well and the tank full sensors. Do they work by heights or by pressures ? Are they designed to work at a certain range of heights (or pressures) or at a single height only ? I'll be more specific by giving an example : let's say we have a 2 meter high tank, and the tank full sensor has to send a signal to the controller when water reaches 1,8 m for example. Does the pump run again when water level goes just under 1,8 m or is the sensor designed to rerun the pump at a certain low height, for example 0,3 meters ? Is it the same for the low well sensor ? Thank you !
Yup. And you can choose the kind of water system setup. Most completely off grid home customers go with the option of pumping from the well, into a storage tank and then booster out with a secondary pump that runs off batteries. However, I've worked with many a people who decide to go straight into a pressure tank, and just opt for a larger 100+ gal pressure tank to tide them over during the night / of hours. Its up to you, but we can make almost anything for off grid work!
Yep we can do that. We have our Pro3000V which can do around 100GPM. We can even go a bit higher with our 5hp system. shop.rpssolarpumps.com/collections/livestock/products/rps-pro-series-v-high-volume-solar-pump-kits-under-300ft

Wow your system for over 300ft is like 4k! Wow! I did my own for $600 for pump and controller with 4 year warranty. $600 for 8 100 watt panels. 400 feet of pex and some fittings and proper wire sized properly and tape and few solar connectors and bucket and rope etc for less than $300 more so $1500 approximately for my system. Guess I should slap my own name on a turnkey system and sell it for double and people still save $1000 wow. Nah I’ll just do a RUclips video and help people for free save money and wave the flag for free. $2500 more yours is and does same thing and is good quality comparison by looking at it all!
