Simple, Low-Maintenance Solar Pumps for Farm Water
Sun Mill pumps by Solar Mill are designed for reliable, low-maintenance farm water transfer.
Built in Western Australia, Sun Mill pumps are particularly suited to moving stock and farm water from dams, lakes and other surface water sources to stock water tanks, overhead tanks, spray water settling tanks and other on-farm storage.
The design is deliberately simple, with key operating components located above ground for easy inspection, servicing and maintenance. This makes Sun Mill particularly well suited to remote farm locations where reliability and minimal maintenance are important.
Reliability and Simplicity
The Sun Mill has been designed as a low-tech, easy-to-operate pumping system that requires very little attention.
Key benefits include:
-
Low maintenance – Simple mechanical construction and accessible components make servicing straightforward.
-
Above-ground service access – Key operating components are located above ground where they are easy to inspect and maintain.
-
Inexpensive replacement parts – Standard nitrile seals and simple service components help keep ongoing maintenance costs low.
-
No fuel required – Solar-powered operation eliminates fuel use, refuelling and engine servicing.
-
Automatic operation – Pressure and float-switch options allow water delivery systems to operate automatically.
-
Suitable for remote locations – Simple operation and minimal maintenance reduce the need for regular supervision.
-
Non-corroding pump components – Designed for long service life and tolerance of brackish water.
-
Built in Western Australia – Sun Mill pump systems are built in Western Australia using a combination of Australian-made and imported components.
Selecting the Right Sun Mill System
Sun Mill systems are selected according to the water source, daily water requirement, total dynamic head and pipeline.
They are particularly suited to transferring water from dams and other surface water sources to stock water tanks and other on-farm storage. Shallow bore applications are also available where conditions suit the pump.
For applications requiring portability, Sun Mill systems can also be skid mounted for relocation between water sources.
