Call me a sucker for fancy shiny things but man that unit is beautiful. WOW

Nice system! Keep it up, love watching your videos.

This dankoff pump looks excellent! One beef with the setup: accurate flow monitoring needs at least 10 times pipe diameter behind the flow sensor and 5 times pipe diameter afterwards to eliminate turbulence created by fittings, especially elbows. 90* elbows especially have interesting turbulence where the outside water stream flows faster than the inner... by almost 20%, I believe.

Enjoy your videos. Thanks

Nice pump I should have one soon, I am getting ready to add the battery portion on my Dankoff Suncentric and using the Midnite Kid it looks like I will be able to run a fifth battery to Increase the voltage/pump speed. Lucky guy you are getting to play with unreleased toys

Awesome! Thanks

Nice, pretty too. I just had to replace my surface pump, too bad my budget couldn't handle a pump like this! Of course this would work best as a backup, not a primary pump, with the sun being so scarce these past few months.

Love it

Brilliant.

I'd really like details on that setup, like a scematic of sorts. I'm drilling a well soon and want the underground pump to go to a large 1,000 gallon storage tank, then fron that tank to the pressure tank so I can run the above ground pump from solar since my well may be too deep at 275 feet...

Nice set up. Long term, this might be better than the slow pump. Unfortunately canøt find it for sale anywhere.

Great Video Scott, Thanks for sharing. What would the total cost be to put this in.

Dear Engineer 775; Very good job . I am very interested from all your projects. could you send to me the plan for this project with all data sheet for the equipment you are used please.

A great video, how much would a typical system cost?

Where did you get that pump from? I cant find it on the Dankoff site.

can that be used for pond aeration? how can we get set up instructions?

I have a septic system which is engineered to pump uphill to the leech field. I'm looking for something like this to avoid problems due to power outages.

Can u put link to their website and price vs value for all stuff you install?

Where did you buy the flow controller? is it able to give the amount of total gallons.

New... off topic questions. What do you think about the Scott Hydro system IF a person has a good water source? -- Thanks for your opinion. -- OleTchr.

I have an idea to create an Air conditioner using a pump that flows a water solution through 600ft of geothermal pipe then call the fan on my forced air unit that will blow across a heat exchanger. I keep my house at around 76 degrees which is hot for most but we just don't enjoy the house to be any colder. I will use a owf to heat my new 1700sqft house so accomplishing this would really be a money saver on my utilities. My yard looks like a dirt pit now so what is a few more holes... I haven't seen anything on air conditioning off grid in your channel and I knew you would be the one to ask. I know this will work to some extent. Maybe it would be a good experiment to see the possibilities. I guess, I am challenging you because you are more intelligent than myself. What would take me years to figure out would take you days.

Hi, I have an off grid cottage and we draw water from a shallow well. I have a solar panel set up and it comes down to a charging controller, then to a 12 v battery bank, then to a 4000w inverter. Now when we draw the water its coming from over 200ft, so it takes a while to bring our tank to pressure. So the pump runs for a while and eventually blows the 500 amp breaker we have before our inverter? any suggestions on what might be causing this? The inverter is only rated at 35 amps, and the 1/2 hp pump is 115/230v. And would you maybe suggest putting like a wash down pump out by the source of water and push the water instead of pumping it? Thanks in advance for any suggestions. Pete

How well would that work with a shallow well and rusty water...?

I need this for my house well!!!

Is it feasible to run direct during the day and of of the batteries only at night..?

Hi there, this is pretty good project, can you tell me that if this type of solar pump will work for a water well with 28 ft. deep?. I have a battery bak connected to 24 volts. please pump barnd. Appreciate your comment, regards

How to connect the pressure switch?

Nice little system, I'm impressed. Nice installation. Why both teflon and megaloc on some of your connections ?

What's an example of a direct drive from solar inverter? Who makes them? I am building a house and would like to incorporate solar.

Went to your site and I don't see this pump. Did you abandon it? Looking for solution for pushing large amount of water up 180 feet and half mile in distance

what kind of valve is that?

My well is set up the same way,only i have a submersable pump.My control panel runs my new dose septic system as well.How many batteries do you have to run in parallel?How big is your solar pannels?Please pm me and let me know,thanks.

I have some water challenges so I love your videos on pumps and water systems. I have your number so when the funds are correct I will get ahold of you.

why not pump to an elevated tank and have gravity feed as a back up?

@davebean2886

Great idea - if available, essentially the elevated water tank would act as the battery. It would be interesting to do a cost comparison for tank vs battery. I've been looking at various water powered pumps to pump water and have realized that in some cases comes down to the cost per volume of water delivered to a given location - in my case an irrigation application, but might be relevant for pressure tanks - not sure. Here is the link to the facebook group for Water Wheel Pumps and most of the approaches should be bench marked against alternative power like solar. Any cost for volume delivered figures available? Thanks. facebook.com/groups/240458583255303/

Hi scott I nitice you have not a video about wind power At least I haven't seen it and if you have can you revisit this subject thank you (love your channel)

Everything look good except for those black fittings.

why didnt you take us through the whole system. as i mean to say the solar panel to power station.

mice video thanks friend

Rain barrel's are great until the temp. drops to 32F then you have a giant ice cube.

HI great job is it possible to put a in-line water generator to fed energy back into your batteries while your drawing energy just asking thought it was a good idea

Hello: I hope the Government don't come up and say they own the rain water. People never thought a company like Monsanto could control seeds for food. If you don't understand that just ask a farmer about his seed corn. You can not replant your corn seed the next year.
