Shurflo Surface Pumps: Solar Water Pump: Eco20/20

Shurflo Surface Pumps

Shurflo Surface Pump is a strong industrial grade pump which is mainly used for applications needed for high pressure and low volume. The product is available in a wide variety of models and is mainly used for a variety of water applications.

The main characteristic of these pumps is that they are engineered with rubber mounted feet to minimize the noise and vibration. As a result, they are supposed to snug down the feet. In addition to this, flexible mounting, which includes flexible inlet and outlet plumbing are very important for having a low pump noise level and the longevity of the pump.

In addition to all these, the pump has got many interesting features. To begin with, it has got heavy duty motor and bearings and self priming which can go up to 8 ft. another major advantage of the pump is that even if it goes, there will not be any damage.

The pump is made up of Santoprene Diaphragm material and there is half inch mpt made threaded ports. There is also a built-in check valve. The engineering is very easy to service when damaged.

You can buy the product as per the requirement of your water. In PSI, the flow rate is 6.3 liters per minute and in 40 PSI pressure, the flow goes down to 5.2 liters per minute. The water flow decreases with increase of PSI. For example, if you buy a Shurflo 8000 series, 12 volt DC heavy duty electric pressure pump, you can get a maximum flow rate of 6.5 liters per minute. The pressure will be high and the volume will be low. This particular model is mainly used for intermittent applications.

But these pumps can be used when pairing a controller with your pump. The high powered 12V pumps can burn out the controller quite easily if the pumps can pull more current beyond the capacity of the controller. These controllers are rated at 5 amps and 7 amps to get the maximum output current.

Among the different models available, the 2088 is the most popular one. These pumps are mostly used in different households. The main advantage of this pump is that it can pump up to 3.6 gallons per minute and can run continuously for long hours. The price of the models varies from $72 to $199.
