Re: [RE-wrenches] low head/low cost solar pump

[Allan Sindelar]

Jay, I wouldn't. Years ago Windy offered a line of Rule bilge pump kits with modules for array-direct fountain and landscaping apps. He called it the SunDeLight, in Windy's typically cute naming fashion. We sold a few. He gave up after a few years. The pumps are mostly plastic and designed for intermittent duty (it's a bilge pump, not a sinking ship pump). In the continuous operation of array-direct use, too many of them wore out before the two-year warranty was up.
