Subject: RE: Electric Stock Tank Float


Sorry I missed this for a while.

They’re portable 16’ troughs and probably hold 500 gal. There’s 3 solar panels and I want to say 750 watts total but I could be wrong. It has four 6v deep cycle batteries and runs 24v. The pump is floating and pulls water from about 10” below the surface. It’s surprisingly clean from that level. They were sized for 400 pair and work good.

They’re 10 years old and only issue I’ve had is one charge controller died.

If you’re using a linear current booster and no batteries I’d suggest 2-3 days storage at a minimum. I know we get days that there is not enough sun. I’d definitely use a float switch instead of a pressure tank. It does take power to pressurize water.

Are you pumping from a well or dugout?
