Will the 12 volt lift water out of a well 55-60 ft? If 12 V system will not work will a 110 pump do the trick? My solar gen is 120V/ 1800 watt cap

of SHURflo Industrial Pump -... don't buy that PUMP, the info I got from the engineering at of SHURflo Industrial Pump -... is bad I rather buy china Junk. The bearings are low cost they freeze and when you call the warranty, they ask you a zillion questions than they are to get back to you. I am waiting 2 month now , got another pump NO PROBLEM. anything you buy is better than of SHURflo Industrial Pump -...I got the other pump for $33.00 while of SHURflo Industrial Pump -... cost $88.00 and the 38 works 100 times better, and pumps for me 85 FT. up

I belive the manufacturer list this as a 20' lift. I am transferring laterally for 40'.There is probably a better product out there for that kind of lift.

It is not a pump, it is an AC converter. If you have a 110 volt AC pump that is less than 150 watts, it should work.

All of the liquid is in front. It goes in the big hole and out the small one. The wiring is in back it is 12 volts and easy to wire. I used a single gang 110 volt new construction box and a light switch for 110 volt light. You need a real strong 12 volt service. Straight to the battery would be best. I think I've had my pump a couple of years now. I live full time in A RV and I use it about once a week. It's still going strong.

I have two large solar panels that are temperature controlled. As soon as the temperature rises and the valve opens to the solar panels, the pump increases speed until the panels are filled (they empty at night in case of frost). As soon as the panels are filled the pump slows to the required galls/min. However note that the power required - that is the Watt draw will be higher since it has more work to do lifting the water to your roof. The short answer is - it works great. It is a really good pump.

This unit has nothing to do with water. It needs 50 amps at 12 volts to operate. Just not feasible to use in a shed. If you have 120 or 220 electric to your shed, go with an electric or gas (propane or natural gas) space heater. I had a friend who made a small solar collector to heat water and used a cast iron radiator unit from an old house to heat this sized building (10x12, insulated). On sunny winter days he had to shut it down to control the temp inside. No pump, just natural circulation of heated and cooled water. (Science....OOOOH)

Sorry, this does not have the capacity for that large of a pump. This is more of a voltage adapter for small things like hair dryers, curling irons, clothes irons, and the like. I have a well with a 220VAC/3 HP pump 500 feet deep. I use a 17 KW propane generator to power that. It's something like this kind of model:http://www.generac.com/all-products/generators/home-backup-generators/guardian-series/17kwGood luck!

I know this is a month old, but I'll answer for future readers...the HP of the pump doesn't matter, only the pumps total feet of head ability, and then only if you're putting the solar panels on the roof. Then, in order to prime the panels the pump would need a higher feet of head rating than the height of your roof. If your roof is 10', the pump would need to have a feet of head rating higher than 10'.

Little Giant 554421 VCMA-20 is design to lift water up to 15'. If you lift water to 1' up only, water flow can be as big as 80GPH. For 9' lift up your flow will be 55GPH.I do not understand "55' down". If you want to move water from 55' BELOW pump, it will not work. If you need to move water to the distance of 55' long, you need to try bigger ID hose if you meet some limitation.

The sump pump on this is 12volts and is replacable but you should still have a main sump for the primary pumping.Hope this helps Dave

no for the most part, for two reasons. 1 it doesn't have a built in check valve so you would need one. when the pump shuts off the water left in the hose will flow back down again.2 it has little to no pressure behind it so it cant lift water up more then 24" high before it stops pumping water. if you can set it up to work within those parameters I mentioned and supply 12 volts DC to power it, then yes it would work but it isn't a very big pump so you should look at something in the 2000-3500 gph range.

The Zoeller pump I have is 1/3 HP. It lifts the water 10-12 ft up BUT does it once every few hours or so.The only thing I can recommend is it will fail after 5-6 years. The switch goes bad. Purchase a spare pump just in case. You can buy another switch with a new gasket and save $$$ on a pump, BUT is it really worth taking a chance?

This unit Has a Booster Pump and Does Use A Transformer To Run. I Believe It Was 12 VDC That Actually Runs It , That Being Said You May Wire It To Run On A 12 Volt deep Cycle Battery and Recharge It Whenever Needed As Well. The Unit W Pump Is Really Used Where Water Pressure is To Low For The R/O Membrane To Be Efficient IfYour Pressure Is Good You Don't Really Need This Unit.

The water pump that comes with this unit runs on 12 volt current. Most typical gas powered generators put out 110 volts.

It will move the water, but the rate will probably drop off about 75-80% at the end of the 600' run. The problem is the diameter of the pipe rather than the power of the pump. You would get much better performance if you could run 1.5" PVC pipe for most of the distance.

I used 2, 12 volt solar panels about 150.00 each and it works good on 24 volt. I was pumping only 60 foot though and 12 volt was too slow. Buy the 12 volt solar panel with the controller it sets it at 24 volts, 2 12 volt batteries and that worked ok. I also ran a 12 volt electric fence charger off of one of the batteries.

While I have not tested it, I'd guess no. 12V parts and 120V parts are very different. If the pump has a power supply that plugs into the wall you can use the switch to turn the power supply on and off.

Although the numbers appear to match up I would be concerned that the booster pump required a lot more to start up and that the transformer is not designed to have that reserve capacity. The output is 12v DC not sure if your pump is AC or DC.... I think there are more alternatives otu there but theyre cheap enough to try or find a 90 watt one etc. so theres some reserve capacity.... hope that helps...
