SolarPAK Pump System Now Features Helical Rotor Pumps
New System Uses Fewer Solar Panels
The new FhotonTM HR SolarPAK System from Franklin Electric Co. Inc. features helical rotor pumps. The helical rotor pump — sometimes called a progressive cavity or positive displacement pump — generates substantial water pressure at lower flows, providing water even during times of indirect sunlight.
Since less energy is required, the Fhoton HR SolarPAK utilizes a minimum number of solar panels, making it ideal for applications with flexible water volume requirements such as supplying water to holding tanks for use in livestock watering, rural water supply supplementation, remote cabins and small irrigation systems. The system is cULus- and UL-approved, and available in 3 and 7 gpm flow rates with a power rating of 0.75 horsepower.
