How to Install A Solar Off Grid Well pump System
What happens here
The submersible pump system is prepared for installation into the well. This involves measuring and cutting 200 feet of 1.25-inch poly pipe, which is connected to the pump. A power cable is run along the length of the poly pipe and secured. A level sensor is attached to the pump shaft with PVC tape, ensuring the torpedo-shaped part of the sensor faces downwards towards the pump. This sensor is crucial for measuring the water level above the pump at all times, preventing the pump from running dry and allowing for remote monitoring via Bluetooth.
Goal: Connect the pump to the poly pipe and attach the level sensor
Tools and materials
- 1.25 inch Poly Pipe — Water delivery from pump to surface
- Level Sensor Lorentz — Monitoring water level in the well
- Measuring Tape — Measuring poly pipe length
- Power Cable — Supplying power to the pump
- PVC Pipe Tape Winnmore — Securing the level sensor to the pump shaft
- Stainless Steel Support Cable — Supporting the pump's weight in the well
- Submersible Pump Lorentz — Pumping water from the well
- Well Seal — Sealing the well to prevent contamination
