static caravan

We need some advice for a 12v water pump for a static caravan, to be able to pump water from a container through 15mm pipes to a gas water heater for hot water taps, sink, shower etc. There are that many on the market we are unsure which makes to go for out of Fiamma, Whale,  Shurflo etc.

I would use this pump to pump water intermittently through a solar panel. Typically this would be 10 secs on and 30 secs off. The pump will be pumping water up to the panel so it is important that during the off phase water does not flow back through the pump. Would this be the case?

Shurflo 12 v water pump

Have a look at the Shurflo 12v water pump, these are low voltage diaphragm pumps, before jumping for a larger more expensive 240v pump.

Shurflo 12v Water Pump 30psi, 10.6 litres per min.

Shurflo 12v water pump

• Automatic triple diaphragm pumps with integral pressure switch to ensure a smooth water flow.
• Will run dry without damage.
• Motors have integral circuit breaker for overload protection and are fully suppressed.
• Robust die cast alloy lower housing with twin ball bearing drive.
• These pumps have low amp draw and are very quiet in operation.
• 30psi is suitable for low pressure water storage heaters
• Volts:12v.
• Flow: 10.6.litres/min.
• Pressure: 30psi.
• Noise:57db & 61db
• Self priming.

Price: £45.90

We’ve had one of these for a couple of years now and it’s ideal for use in the wine shed, filling 60 litre containers, racking, blending – and filling 10 L and 20 L BiB’s, as well as 5 L demijohns. As with any pump, there is some CO2 release but I find it’s fairly minimal – certainly nothing I’ve had to worry about. I will continue to use my Shurflo as it will get more use than any other larger, more powerful pump. And being 12v all you need is an old battery and it is also eminently portable as well as safe.

I require a solar cluster and a small dc water pump.

The idea is to use black pipe as a solar heat collector and pump it through a swimming pool driven by the solar powered dc pump.

The object is to raise the water temperature over a period and maintain it at a higher level than normal thus extending the pool usage/ holiday season in Portugal, Algarve.

Could you recommend equipment for test purposes. Doesn’t need much lift –say 2 metres and volume throughput need not be much -say 100 galls/hr

Is that a solar powered water pump or a 12v water pump for a solar heated pool?

A Solar powered water pump is usually but not always found as a component in solar heating systems. Solar powered heating systems use a panel mounted on a roof with black pipes that retain radiant heat from the sun and heat up water inside the pipes. The heated water is then taken to  reservoir tank and replaced with cooler water ready to be heated again. The water from the tank can then be used to heat room spaces or to raise the temperature of mains water before being heated for use as hot water, or for a central heating system. So free energy from the sun is used to reduce the amount of fossil fuel energy required to supply a building with hot water or heating.

12v Water Pump Solar Powered

solar powered water pumps

Anybody who is concerned enough to implement such an environmentally beneficial system is also likely to want to reduce any reliance on mains electricity for powering the pump that is used to circulate the water in the system and this is where the solar powered water pump comes into it. The solar powered water pumps are driven by low voltage direct current electricity (12v water pump) which is generated by a small photo-voltaic panel, often mounted near the big solar water heater panels. Instead of having copper wire coils as is usual with Alternating Current pumps, the solar powered water pump has fixed magnets, which do not require electricity themselves, and are constructed in a robust and efficient way in order to produce enough pumping power with very little current.

Solar Powered Water Pump Applications

Now that we have learned how a solar powered water pump is used in a solar powered water heating system, we will be able to find a source of these 12v water pumps and be able to use them in other situations where it is required to pump water around a system, and there is no mains electricty available or desired. For example, to raise water from a river or stream for irrigation purposes, although a very good filtration system would need to be placed before the pump since these solar powered water pumps are really only designed for closed loop water systems.

Solar Powered Cider Workshop

Another application might be for storing and decanting cider or fruit juice in situ on an apple orchard or fruit farm, where the cider workshop is isolated from mains electricity. The storage tanks could be emptied or racked using a solar powered water pump allowing the entire cider making process to take place at the orchard in the workshop instead of transporting the apples or juice to the main farmhouse or cider barn for processing.

Finding 12v Water Pump Supplies

If you’ve already decided you need a 12v water pump or maybe several for your low voltage plumbing project you might be wondering where is the best place to get one. Unfortunately there is no single correct answer because of the considerable effect that location has on availability. You might live near an electrical wholesalers for example, but after making enquiries they just don’t have the elusive 12v water pump that you need. Or maybe they don’t have any at all. That’s because these little pumps are really used a great deal in mainstream plumbing and building jobs. A better bet probably is to visit a motor home, caravan or boat supplies yard if you are lucky enough to have one within a reasonable distance. Or you could try to find one second hand or order one online from one of the big mail order and delivery websites, whether general goods suppliers or parts specialists.

To find a second hand 12v water pump you’d probably need to find a scrap vehicle that uses water, again such as a camper van or houseboat. The water pump that’s used for cooling engines is no good because that’s mechanically driven and the pump that powers a domestic washing machine is probably AC I think. If anybody has any suggestions for sourcing water pumps that run of a 12 volt supply I’d be very grateful if you’d leave comments which I will collect and republish for the benefit of all my readers.
