 Flowlight Booster Pump
Dankoff
Flowlight Booster Pump
Use DC or AC power to pressurize water. Provides 3-4.5 Gallons per Minute (10-17 lpm) at pressure as high as 65 PSI (4.5 kg/sq. cm) from shallow water sources.
The Flowlight Booster Pump provides city water pressure, anywhere. It has been a standard in home renewable energy systems since 1986. It is economical for domestic water supply, drip irrigation, and water purification.
A booster pump is far more cost effective than an elevated tank, providing pressure equivalent to over 100 feet (30m) of elevation.
This DC pump uses one third to one half the energy of a conventional AC pump, and eliminates the high starting surges that push inverters to the limit.
It is more powerful, quieter, and much more durable than plastic RV/Marine pumps.
Wearing parts are replaceable, and typically last 5 to 10 years. Overall life expectancy is 15 to 20 years.
Its complete instruction manual and Easy Installation Kit make this pump simple for anyone to install and service, with no previous experience
For specifications, open the Data Sheet for the Flowlight Booster Pump (pdf) listed at the bottom of this page.
Choice of Capacity
Use the Standard Model for highest flow. The Low Speed Model (DC only) is best if: Suction lift greater is than 10 feet; Intake pipe is smaller than 1-inch size; Extra-quiet operation is desired.
Choice of Voltage
These pumps come in 12, 24, 48 vdc and 115 Volt vac (low surge PM motor minimizes inverter and wire size).
Construction
Rotary vane pump mechanism (pulsation-free). Solid forged brass pump body with carbon-graphite and stainless steel working parts. NSF® approved for drinking water. Handles sea water and dissolved minerals. Survives most freezes. Permanent magnet, ball bearing DC motor, thermally protected. Clear flexible hoses and pressure relief valve included.
Additional Needs
Battery-based power system (12V or 24V) or AC (minimum 300 watt inverter). Pressure Tank, captive air type. Minimum size: 40 gallon (150 l). Larger is better, to reduce cycling and increase reserve capacity. Foot valve (if pump is placed higher than water source)
Filtration Requirement
This pump CANNOT tolerate dirt. Water must be filtered <10 microns.
Accessories
Intake Strainer/Foot Valve with fine monel metal screen, stops course debris. Inline cartridge holder (10-inch) uses standard drinking water cartridges. 10" filter cartridges (2 pack ) for above cartridge holder. Intake Filter/Foot Valve (30-inch) replaces Intake Strainer and Inline Filter (10 micron) with a single unit, best for lowering into a shallow well. Spare 30" Filter Cartridges (5 or 10 micron spun fiber). Easy Installation Kit includes: Pressure Switch, Pressure Gauge, Check , Drain & Shut-Off Valves, & Tank Tee (manifold). Dry Run Switch prevents battery drain and pump damage if water source runs dry
Installation
Pump may be mounted horizontally or vertically. Pump must not be submerged. It may be placed inside a 6-inch (120 cm) or larger well casing, suspended by a rope. If casing is smaller than 10 inches, request "adapting elbows" instead of flex hoses.
Dimensions
Length 16.5 in (42 cm)
Weight 15 lb (7 kg)
Flexible hose ends have 3/4-in. male pipe thread
Warranty
One year against defects in materials and workmanship. Use of pump without 10 micron or less filter will void warranty.
