Do you attach a solar pump to make this go?

No it hooks up to your existing pump. it was pretty easy to hook up but you will probably need to get extra hoses.

Yes, I would think so. You can raise the solar panel in the direction of sun as shown in its picture. But certainly possibility of water leak is a concern on flat surface.

No. I suppose you would have to purchase separately and series the contacts in the safety circuit of the photo eye or ground loop. If it requires constant power, I would be cautious adding it to solar powered only systems.

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'.

Solar panel on my fence. Otherwise the pump totally submerge and needs to be

pump maybe not charge,solar panel need be charged on fine day,it can not be charged on cloudy day

what is the draw for the pump? I assume the pump is 110v AC so you will need an inverter also. You may need more than one panel do you want the pump to only run when the sun is shining? if not you will need to store energy in batteries.

No solar. It cut back my presses to my pump and sprayed over the side of my pool. I'm not a fan would sale mine cheap. btbthrone@gmail.com

I doubt you would need one, the cord is very long. Certainly one could be added but it would be a specialized cord and I don't know what kind. The solar cell connects to the cord that leads to the pump, if you had the correct type you could add the extension at that juncture.

There is a plastic extension at the bottom of the lamp which screws in. It is similar to the stake on solar lights. You can wrap wire around the post and around the stake which would accomplish your mission.

There is no switch - make sure the pump is hooked up to the bottom of the solar panel and it should run in direct sunlight. The manufacturer does have a year warranty if something is wrong.

Actually you cannot. I made up a rope pulley system so I could pull the pump to the side occasionally to clean off the leaves, etc.

I'm not sure you can add pump to the existing system. IMO, you better write to manufacturer.

Ya you can run this with photovoltaics. The only thing is that this is 120VAC so you will need an inverter from the solar panel to the pump. More than likely there are DC pumps out there and you could hook directly to it. It will start pumping when the sun comes up and stop when it goes down. If you want it to continuously run then get a larger solar panel --&gt; charge controller--&gt;battery--&gt;pump. My estimate since pump is 6 watts get at least an 18-20 watt panel then a battery that will last you through the night, 6 watts * 18 hours * 2 (oversize it) = 216 watt*hour battery.

Yes, that can be done;The juice you get out the solar pane wont put them fast in

No, it is more involved than that. You will need a controller and two circuit breakers. The inverter and controller will depend on what you want to do with your solar

Yes, you can do that. You can also bypass the float switch and run the pump manually by unplugging the pump power cord from the piggyback plug on the float switch and running it directly to the power outlet.
