Solar Rain Barrel Pumping Kit
While collecting water off your rooftop is a relatively easy task, using the captured water in the garden can be a daunting challenge. Since water pressure is dependent upon the elevation of the stored water, most rain cisterns at ground level have water pressures that are simply too low for most garden applications. This innovative device harnesses the power of the sun to pressurize your harvested rainwater to an impressive 13 PSI – without the need for dedicated power or water lines. The RainPerfect System allows gardeners to adequately operate a spray nozzle and hose, or have the collected water feed into small, low-pressure irrigation system. The NiMH battery is charged whenever the sun shines, and is powerful enough to pump 100 gallons on a single charge (that’s the capacity of 2 standard-sized rain barrels). High quality DC pump is encased in a weather resistant control box that easily mounts on top of the barrel or other suitable location. Standardized garden fixtures ensure compatibility with most hoses and drip irrigation systems. Use with water only.
