Model number: VC-4DCP6-135-200-1500

DC CONTROLLER SERIES

A 135m Submersible Borehole Solar Water Pump, VC-4DCP6-135-200-1500 Plastic Impeller Stainless Steel Solar Water Pump with DC Controller Series combines the lightweight and cost-effective benefits of a plastic impeller with the durability of a stainless steel pump body. This pump system is designed to operate on solar power using a DC controller, making it ideal for remote and off-grid water pumping needs such as irrigation, livestock watering, and water supply.

Key Features of a 135m Submersible Borehole Solar Water Pump:

1. Plastic Impeller:
   • Material Benefits:
     • Lightweight and cost-effective compared to stainless steel impellers.
     • Corrosion-resistant and suitable for non-abrasive water conditions.
   • Performance:
     • Designed for efficient water flow and pressure, though best suited for applications with low to medium sediment content.
2. Stainless Steel Pump Body:
   • Durability:
     • High-grade stainless steel construction (e.g., 304 or 316) ensures resistance to rust, corrosion, and wear.
     • Ideal for long-term use in outdoor or submerged environments.
   • Aesthetic and Functional:
     • Combines durability with a sleek, professional appearance.
3. DC Controller:
   • Solar-Powered Operation:
     • Optimized for solar energy input, offering eco-friendly and cost-efficient water pumping.
   • Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT):
     • Maximizes energy use by tracking optimal solar panel output.
   • Protection Features:
     • Guards against overvoltage, undervoltage, overcurrent, and dry-run conditions.
   • Intelligent Control:
     • Supports features like automatic start/stop based on water availability or system pressure.
4. Applications:
   • Agricultural irrigation (drip, sprinkler, or surface systems).
   • Domestic water supply for off-grid homes.
   • Livestock watering and aquaculture.
   • Small-scale industrial water transfer.

Advantages of a 135m Submersible Borehole Solar Water Pump:

1. Cost-Effectiveness:
   • Plastic impellers reduce overall cost without compromising efficiency in low-sediment water conditions.
2. Energy Efficiency:
   • Powered entirely by renewable solar energy, lowering operating costs.
3. Corrosion Resistance:
   • Stainless steel body and plastic impeller are resistant to rust and most chemical reactions.
4. Low Maintenance:
   • Plastic impellers are less prone to wear in clean water conditions, while stainless steel resists damage from external elements.
5. Eco-Friendly:
   • Utilizes solar power to reduce dependence on fossil fuels or grid electricity.

Limitations:

1. Material Suitability:
   • Plastic impellers are not ideal for abrasive or highly sedimented water sources, as they may wear out faster compared to metal impellers.
2. Power Dependency:
   • Performance is reliant on adequate sunlight; may require water storage solutions or a hybrid system for continuous operation.
3. Lower Strength:
   • Plastic impellers might not handle extreme pressures or high flow rates as effectively as metal alternatives.

Specifications to Consider:

1. Pump Capacity:
   • Flow Rate: Measured in liters per minute (L/min) or gallons per minute (GPM).
   • Lift Height: Maximum vertical distance the pump can deliver water.
2. Material Quality:
   • Ensure the impeller’s plastic material is high-quality, like engineering-grade polymers (e.g., polypropylene or nylon), for better durability.
3. Solar Panel Compatibility:
   • Match the pump’s voltage and wattage requirements with the solar panel system.
   • Include an MPPT-equipped DC controller for maximum efficiency.
4. Controller Features:
   • Ensure it includes safety features like dry-run protection and overcurrent prevention.

Applications and Ideal Use Cases:

1. Irrigation Systems:
   • Suitable for farms or gardens where the water source has low sediment levels.
2. Livestock and Rural Homes:
   • Provides a sustainable water source for animals and domestic use in off-grid areas.
3. Aquaculture:
   • Ideal for clean water transfer in fish farming operations.
4. Remote Locations:
   • Serves as a reliable solution in areas with no grid power availability.

Maintenance Tips:

1. Clean Regularly:
   • Check the pump and impeller for debris or sediment buildup to maintain performance.
2. Inspect Wiring:
   • Ensure all solar connections and the controller are secure and functioning correctly.
3. Avoid Dry Runs:
   • Operate the pump only when there is adequate water to prevent overheating or impeller damage.
4. Seasonal Storage:
   • Protect the pump during extreme weather conditions, such as freezing winters or intense storms.
