Water Transfer

Designed for High-Volume Water Movement

Water transfer systems place different demands on pumping equipment compared to pressure or livestock systems. Flow rate, pipe length, friction losses, and duty cycle all play a critical role in performance.

Outback Solar Pumps water transfer solutions are engineered to move water efficiently over distance while maintaining stable operation under varying solar conditions.

Applications Include:

  • DAM-TO-DAM TRANSFER
  • TANK-TO-TANK TRANSFER
  • SUMP OR PIT PUMPING
  • Solar panel and battery box next to a water tank in a rural setting
    BORE-TO-STORAGE TRANSFER
  • Solar panel with Outback Power branding next to water tanks in a rural setting.
    REMOTE WATER REDISTRIBUTION

How Solar Water Transfer Works

  • Solar Panels Generate DC Power During Sunlight

  • MPPT Controller Optimises Available Solar Input

  • Pump Transfers Water From Source to Destination

  • Flow Rate Increases with Solar Intensity

  • Optional Float Switches Control Start/Stop Points

Key Benefits of Solar Water Transfer Systems

Outback Solar Pumps water transfer systems use brushless DC pump technology combined with intelligent MPPT controllers designed for long run times.

Protection features include dry-run protection, thermal and overload protection, voltage protection, and stable motor control.

Typical Water Transfer Configurations

  • Dam-to-Dam Transfer

  • Tank-to-Tank Redistribution

  • Bore Pumping to Remote Storage

  • Sump or Pit Pumping to Surface Tanks

  • Multi-Stage Transfer Systems

Choosing the Right Pump for Water Transfer

Correct pump selection depends on vertical lift, horizontal distance, total dynamic head, required daily transfer volume, and expected duty cycle.

Outback Solar Pumps assists with system selection to ensure reliable performance and long equipment life.
