SUBMERSIBLE PUMP PRODUCT INFORMATION The Aquatec SWP Series submersible pump that you have purchased is manufactured from quality components in our Irvine California manufacturing facility. All of the materials of construction are potable water safe. The pump is designed to operate on any 12-30 VDC power source, including direct-to-panel operation up to 60 cell panels or an array outputting a maximum of 30 VDC, or a 12 or 24 VDC battery bank. (See table in performance section of this booklet).
Cable and splice: Location of the solar panels should be close to the pump application for limited voltage drops through wire run lengths. The suggested wire gauge is #10 AWG jacketed Submersible cable. It is important to make a quality water-tight splice to connect the electrical conducting wires to the submersible pump lead wires. Improper sealing of the splice may allow water intrusion which will damage the pump motor and/or cause reduced pump performance.
Discharge line: The hose or pipe should be pressure rated for 150 psi (105 M head). If using rigid drop pipe for the discharge line it is recommended to use a 6 in. (15 cm) length of flexible hose to connect to the pump outlet fitting secured with a stainless steel clamp. Then, to the other end of the short 6 in. (15 cm) hose connect a ½” NPT x ½”Barb fitting secured with another stainless steel clamp.
