3" AC/DC Solar Pumps - Generator/Grid Compatible
The TBS 3" AC/DC stacked impeller (centrifugal) water pumps are designed to operate using direct solar power or a 230Vac generator. The 3" diameter makes this pump an ideal selection for narrow well casing installs where 4" diameter pumps are not compatible. This product has an above-ground solar drive that features NC/NO digital contacts for use with float and pressure switch controls.. The above-ground drive also allows for adjustable top end RPM for GPM control in low producing wells along with robust system protections (over-voltage, under-voltage, over-current, lost phase, etc.).

In Field Top End RPM Adjustment For GPM Control
TBS AC/DC helical water pumps are designed for low flow (2-12GPM) and high head (50-800ft) applications. These pumps are capable of operating off direct solar power or 120/230Vac generator power. Made with simplicity in mind, TBS 4" pumps have built-in motor drives as well as a plug and play monitoring device for AC/DC power transfer and digital system controls (float switch, pressure switch, etc.).

TBS AC/DC stacked impeller (centrifugal) water pumps are designed for operating off direct solar or 120/230Vac generator power. TBS 4" pumps have built-in motor drives as well as a plug and play monitoring device for AC/DC power transfer and digital system controls (float switch, pressure switch, etc.). The perfect option for varying flow rate requirements and high TDS water content where helical pumps are not viable.
