Does this pump require a pump controller unit to be installed, if so which one is recommended?

No, it hooks directly to batteries or solar panels..........but beware it says 4" and it's bigger than that. We had a 4" pipe and it would NOT go down in it.

Hi - this pump can be tied directly to a solar panel. However, it is recommended to shut the pump off after 3 hours of continuous run-time to let the motor brushes cool off for about 30 minutes. This will greatly increase lifetime of the pump.

I'm not using a controller with mine and it's been working great for more than a month now keeping my stock tank overfull. The solar panel being used is a RENOGY 100 Watt 100w Monocrystalline Photovoltaic also purchased from Amazon.

We have ours installed with a simple on/off switch with batteries and solar panels. We've had it for about a year.

yes but make sure your controller output voltage is enough to pull the coil in for the pump starter. (example coil voltage is 24 volts your controller has to be able to output that voltage. Hopefully this information is helpful.

Not directly. If you have a pressurized system as soon as there is a demand for water the pump should activate. Otherwise no.

I bought the iSpring system that included an electric pump. There are similar pumps available on Amazon, Ebay etc.

YES Pump comes with everything you need. It comes in one box the pump motor, hoses and connectors. Hose is provided as one piece you must cut to length needed to create the two hoses as I used. I did not purchase anything extra it was all included which made installation easy. I haven't had any problems at all. Also I received as free shipping and it arrived in about five working days. Awesome service. Hope this helps.

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

It should be pretty simple. Just follow the wiring diagram. If you do not have a timer on it now I assume your pump/motor is wiring from a junction box. You will disconnect the feed wires from the wires to the pump/motor. The Feed wires will connect to the L1 & L2 terminals and the wires going to the pump/motor will connect where it shows on the diagram. That is the basic wiring for the typical set up.

Aside from turning the water off, no. But a controller would be easy to install.

I just saw your question. I have done this. You can't run the controller and the pump off the same panel - When the controller turns on the pump, power drops and the controller shuts off, then on, off - etc. I used a seperate panel for the Elitech power. Make sure you have good thermal coupling to the fairly large sensor and it may not be waterproof. the relay will handle the pump on/off. You can set the gap in temp between turning on and off which means the pump doesn't cycle on and off alot.

Xinyu, The TK-SC6 controller comes complete with three sensors: Two for the top and bottom of your main water tank and one for your solar collector. The solar collector sensor will probably need you to supply extension wire of proper gauge in order to reach roof-top collector. This extension wire is easy to find at most hardware stores and is inexpensive to buy. If you are using controller for a "drain back" solar water heater type, you will need no valves at all. The controller is purely electronic and uses algorithm logic to turn you recirculating pump on and off at the proper time and duration. In other words it is not connected in any way with water pipes but wired to the pump only. Hope this helps, jack

There are terminals that you plug into. If you are replacing a bad pump the old pump will have the same set-up. Check your old pump to see if there is a plug running to it.

Hi Jason, unfortunally I do not know your system - but you should have a look on your valves. The power they need should match to that controller.regards, Torsten

It was simple too install. As long as your using an intex pump. If your using a different pump you will have too buy fittings to Match

It comes with the pump and cartridge. You will need cut off switches. At least two for when you change filter.

No ... But you must have the proper psi downstream for the pump to work .. The psi is listed on the pump instructions ...

These pumps do not require a controller and have to be plugged in to the wall

No, the unit is not that complex and there is no programming feature. However, if there are not batteries in your system, little or no sunlight will translate into your pump not working anyway. I hope that is helpful.
