Waterboy Solar Pumps
WATERBOY Solar pump systems offer state of the art solar pump technology at a very competitive price. Highly reliable and durable, WATERBOY solar pumps and controllers are backed by a 2 year warranty and are designed to withstand our harsh Australian water.
The WATERBOY product concept is to deliver the most reliable and durable solar powered water pump system at a reasonable and very competitive price.
WATERBOY solar pumps are extremely reliable and have developed a strong following in agricultural applications and in developing nations where reliability, simple maintenance and long life are critical.
The Waterboy solar-powered pump is powered by a brush less direct-current (dc) motor with a helical rotor, which is a helix shaped rotor that fits closely into a rubber stator that has a helical groove, forming sealed cavities that trap water. As the rotor turns, the cavities move toward the outlet. Higher flow centrifugal models are also available . A helical rotor wet end is especially beneficial on a solar pump, as it is a positive displacement pump, which will produce water in cloudy or low-light conditions. The helical rotor pump is a reliable and proven pumping technology, which has only one moving part, thereby ensuring reliable water production. Older, more traditional pumps employ a brushed dc motor that uses brushes to conduct a current to the motor.
The above ground controller with maximum power point tracking (MPPT) function, continuously enhances the pump duty point according to the input power available, the controller incorporates speed control and time delay to allow optimum and automatic operation of the system.
The controller varies the frequency and voltage of the motor to bring it slowly up to speed. It then adjusts the motor speed according to the power available from the sun.
In addition, the Waterboy solar pump's photo-voltaic array comprises of no moving or wearing parts and the glass used to manufacture the PV modules is tempered and tested to Australian standards that include resistance to hailstones of one-inch diameter.
