Pros & Cons
Pros
Rainbird funny pipe was used to connect pump with a 3/8 polyethylene rope and 3/16 stainless cable to lower and secure the pump at depth. It pumps the water into separate 250 gallon tanks which i use to water crops and livestock. It is 15ft down a wel... Read More
The best bang for the buck, considering the other solar submersible pumps i have on 2 other wells cost $750 and $1400 each. Makes a little bit of noise, but nothing objectionable.
Cons

Highlights
Quality
Customer service has been way good and they took care of any problems with the pump fast and replaced.
This is a good quality, efficient and reliable pump.
Price
I actually purchased 2 of the pumps, since the price had me nervous and i wanted a backup on hand due to drought concerns.
Shipping
Customer service was fast to reply and sent me a replacement right away.
Competitiveness
I have it hooked to a deep cycle marine battery and a 200w solar panel.
I will be replacing the 4 old 40 watt solar panels with 2 new 100watt panels for better performance on cloudy days.
Pump in pond about 1ft below surface (in 4 inch pipe with filters on end.
Max rise about 45ft, net rise at end 35ft above the pump.
