That was one of the finest product demonstrations I've seen and it's good to know it was produced in the heart of irrigation country. Well done!
Love that American flag
Got to love that flag 👍
I wish every company I dealt with was as good as RPS! The online information covers everything and is high quality. The sales / customer service team helped this first-time well-owner with all details and took the time to discuss and explain when needed.
When I received our RPS 800 with full turnkey kit for our off-grid property, I read the outstanding manual from cover to cover. After that I made all of the connections, did a bucket test, and everything worked the first time. On installation day, everything went smoothly and it was so rewarding to get water pouring out of the well after turning the system on!
We have another off-grid property which needs a well so now I’m a repeat customer after ordering a second RPS kit. I highly recommend RPS to anyone needing a system.
Hello sir,am a young technician wanted to learn many things from you
We have the RPS 400 and its great! Customer service with this company is second to none
Great to hear and thanks for the feedback!
Are you using batteries?
Good info, appreciate the flag, USMC here.
Thanks for watching! And thank you for your service!
😅
Brilliant! Thank you for sharing this magnificent video on solar water pumping! That's we need a couple of thousands of these solar water pumping systems in Papua New Guinea!
We are installing this on our property. Customer service is fantastic! I would order from this company again and again. Thank you, RPS!
czcams.com/video/AU3Hvdg4zIE/video.html
We will be making a video about the installation on this channel within the next few weeks.
I know a guy that put one of your pumps in a pasture. My neighbor helped him and I want to go see it this spring. Thet are pleased with it. Will keep your phone number
We look forward to hearing from you Pamela!
So awesome. In the process of buying a house with a well. I’ll definitely be buying one. Great video. I plan to connect straight to the house as back up when electricity goes out.
Great tip! @22:43, i didnt see a ground connection/symbol inside my MPPT, so Im glad you pointed this out. I will be connecting a lug to my today!
Wholly $hit! 12k after the well is drilled!
Very nice presentation.Great for helping make this system my choice.
That was great, Mike. Thanks. It's been many years since I installed a well's piping and wiring. Great refresher.
Very good rps solar water
One of the best
Thanks friend!
Great system; great service BUT Need a video showing exactly how to handle the wiring through the well seal and to the controller--you mention flexible conduit but don't show an example. Do you need some kind of rubber insert for the well seal in your kit? A jam nut? Could use some help w/that. TIA
Very good I love this.
Thanks friend!
Don’t use electrical tape to hold the sensor inside the well use a strong rigid zip tie lol
great video. I love my RPS solar well.
Great to hear! Thanks for the feedback.
Excellent !
Great video
If installing by yourself ? Take a wheelbarrow without a tire but the wheel still on it. Turn wheel barrow upside down and us the wheel to bend the poly pipe over the edge without having it kink or scrape on the edge of the down pipe. Worked for me when by myself. Otherwise have your friend help.
Great video 💯
Good advices. This is awesome.
Maganda po, ipun muna ako, mdyu my kamahalan pala, salamat.
Wow...it's awesome thanks ... Hoping to apply this awesome idea
Thank you. Hope this video helps!
I live in the the deep South - our humidity average is around 60% - moisture defuses or scatters the UV light that shines down off the sun -
Solar panels rely on UV light to excite the panels - down here on most sunny days solar panels only generate 20% of there rated out put at noon day -
There are always clouds that further reduce the out put of solar panel out put -
This summer it did not rain much at all - we had the lowest humidity we had in yrs - 35% many days when it was 110° - solar panels generated 40% of there rated out put at noon day -
Solar panels work well in dry regions but not well in humid regions - I had was worked on generators in the offshore oil and gas industry for decades so I notice those things -
Great demo
Thank you!
nice set up
Thank you for the video. Will you please do one showing how to hook up the piping and such so the well water can run through the house. Revelation 21
Good day I'm from Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.
I just bought this system , I had to ship it to my business partner in the USA and then have them ship it to me here in SVG, it should be in my hands by November this year
My well is about 8ft, low well.
Question (1) how low should I drop the pump at that depth?
Question( 2) my tanks is on a hill ascend about 50ft up will the pump be able to pump the water to that height in a sufficient manner?
I have 2 600 gallons tanks
Thks in advance on your speedy reply
This is great. So many others just make a 5 min video pointing at things and components, naming them and reading from a brochure card. Seeing it put together helps me understand how it works and what I need to replace my AC pump with a DC solar pump.
Well done.
I want to put it on a 48v battery bank, do I also need a charge controller or does the controller that comes with like the RPS400 kit handle the charging as well?
Hey Shane, an RPS 400 comes with a an RPS Universal charge controller, pump and solar panels(along with some solar wiring and a few more items for install). The Universal Charge controller will handle the charging and discharging of the batteries associated with an RPS 400 system, no need to add on parts!
I really liked this video, well done! We are in Kentucky and have a cattle ranch. We would be interested in a well system that could be hooked to a Ritchie waterer just as if it were attached to city water, which we currently using. Not sure how it could all be integrated and how the well would be drilled, but I’m sure you could explain it all and help. Thanks, James.
Absolutely James! feel free to email me with your exact needs mo@ruralpowersystems.com
Excellent video! Have you ever taped the wire to the pipe drop? Fortunately our installer taped the electrical to the pipe drop every 10 ft and when the pipe drop came out of the well head, pulled all of the connections loose they were able to fish it out and since wires were taped, it was repairable. 😊
Yup we recommend using electrical tape to wrap all the pipe, wire and safety rope together into a bundle
Hi, how do connect a pump with 1200w/110v use 300w/36v panels? (Can I use 6 of panels by connecting 3 series and 2 panels or should I just connect 4 in series
Also when do you need batteries for these? I’ve seen some other pumps with batteries
Very nice,,I would like to do this with you guys,,,I really love it..#water is life
Cool, want to give us a call at 888-637-4493
Merci beaucoup pour cette présentation, en effet je voudrais savoir les coûts de cet équipement, rendu en RD Congo à Lubumbashi.
This system looks like it would be ideal for many of my clients. How do the components hold up in outdoor salty environments? Most of their empty lots would be off grid at the beach. Constant wind and salt spray, and a long rainy season has been a rough go for most systems installed in the past.
How do those low water level detectors hold up if there is any iron in the water?
Do you have international distributions set up/ship to Panama at all?
The pumps and piping will hold up great, there is always some concerns with the mounting and panels, but if you keep them clean you shouldn't have a problem.
@@RPSSolarPumps thank you. I have about 8 clients that ended up buying these systems so I’ll be installing them over the coming months. Do you also sell spare parts of say the male x insert SS extra long fitting?
Does it need to be a special reinforced electrical tape or would the standard stuff work for the submerged parts?
don't you need charge controller and batteries for your setup?
Its great n nice, how much the total cost for that installation?
RPS how much it would take if it would be shifted to Philippines? to include installation. Tnxs.
Looking in to a solar pump as our current setup is at 20years and nearing end of life. Silly question, but what about water pressurizers?
We’ve got an old Grundfos 1.5hp pushing pressure through 2 75 gallons tanks for the house and 5 acre ranch property.
Tanks are in good shape thankfully
A solar pump works exactly like an AC pump in that capacity, you just get a properly sized pump to fit what ever pressure requirements you have. Need 60 psi? tell our techs that and theyll take it into account. You probably wont be far off of using a 1.5HP again, just this time you'll be powering of of solar. And since there are lots of different 1.5 HP pump options out there, we just find the one that fits your well depth and provides enough flow rate for the ranch applications + house
Interesting
Please name your price foe this pump
is it available in the phil
Can you go to install one of those pump in ranch up in Honduras 🇭🇳?
My ranch
How can i get this pump? Am in Kenya
What's the total cost of a turn key kit.
What would it cost me to have one of these installed?
Is it available in India?
What size of solar generator would power that pump? I'm waiting to run my well every now and then but using a solar generator and not panels.
They won't answer you. They're too busy flagging their competitor's Craigslist ads.
@@hunt2alaska399 lol. Yeah I'm beginning to realize that.
Hey do you have distributors in Mexico? I am looking for a job perhaps on this field in my home country. Thx
Will this be sufficient for supplying water to a completely off the grid home?
Yup. And you can choose the kind of water system setup. Most completely off grid home customers go with the option of pumping from the well, into a storage tank and then booster out with a secondary pump that runs off batteries. However, I've worked with many a people who decide to go straight into a pressure tank, and just opt for a larger 100+ gal pressure tank to tide them over during the night / of hours. Its up to you, but we can make almost anything for off grid work!
It's too bad, I cannot download any of your manuals on your website!
Hey Moxi, we don't have manuals available for download on the site, theres lots of info on the learn page and you can view our catalog here www.rpssolarpumps.com/catalog/
Is electrical tape the best option to fix the sensors?
Yes it is. I bet there is electrical tape in 99.9% of wells across the USA.
Do these work for a shallow water well?
Of course! The RPS 200 or 400 are smaller kits that might work best for you, shop here shop.rpssolarpumps.com/collections/livestock
How much cost for Solar installation
Looking for an installer in Indiantown, FL.
Hello, is there any chance that the pump gets damaged by a lightning strike ?
Not very often, if at all. We have built in lightning protection for our controller, so very rarely do we have any issues.
Hello, please I have some questions regarding the low well and the tank full sensors. Do they work by heights or by pressures ? Are they designed to work at a certain range of heights (or pressures) or at a single height only ? I'll be more specific by giving an example : let's say we have a 2 meter high tank, and the tank full sensor has to send a signal to the controller when water reaches 1,8 m for example. Does the pump run again when water level goes just under 1,8 m or is the sensor designed to rerun the pump at a certain low height, for example 0,3 meters ? Is it the same for the low well sensor ? Thank you !
@@RPSSolarPumpsWhat type of SPD do you have built in to the controller. Do you have a spec on it?
I have a sump pump thats killing me on my power bill. I need a solution that will provide solar power to my pump 100% of the time. Is this something that you folks can assist me with?
🤔
Sure can, you should check out or GLS sump pump kit, or our WaterSecure if you want to keep the same sump pump.
Do you have a Supplier in Lusaka, Zambia? i wuold like to order from your company

Come up with a system that can pump 100 gpm. from a well site 60 foot deep with water at 20 feet.
Yep we can do that. We have our Pro3000V which can do around 100GPM. We can even go a bit higher with our 5hp system. shop.rpssolarpumps.com/collections/livestock/products/rps-pro-series-v-high-volume-solar-pump-kits-under-300ft
@@RPSSolarPumps My well sites can currently pump 385 gpm . it's the cost of doing so 460 VAC and 25 hp motors, demand fees etc. What is the cost of a kit that can pump 100gpm.
How deep can these be installed?
We have some systems that can pump from 1200ft underground!
What is the cost of the installation?
These are DIY kits. They are designed specifically for self install.

What is the cost of product?
Get sized for a pump through our form and get an idea of pricing! www.rpssolarpumps.com/
My well is 250 feet deep, can I use this pump? Thank you!
Potentially, the RPS 400 has a head ability up to 225 feet, and we size a pump based on static water level and any additional head from pressure or vertical lift into a tank. If you call us with a description of your system we can give you an answer in just a few minutes after doing a couple quick calculations!
@@RPSSolarPumps Thank you!
Is this free? What's the cost? You're advertising in CZcams but don't provide cost. Life is beautiful.
You can shop all of our 3" pump kits here shop.rpssolarpumps.com/collections/livestock
Please announce your price.
unfortunately it is not that easy. we need to size the correct pump for your project in order to give the proper sizing. luckily we have created this easy to use guide to figure out which pump is right for you. www.rpssolarpumps.com/get-sizing/
