Hey, this is Mike with RPS solar pumps.
We've got a lot of solar questions over the last couple of months.
Today, I want to go through those and answer some of the most common
questions.
Today's question
is, can you do a pressurized water system without a large pressure tank?
So we have a system called the TPP system that stands for the tankless
pressure pump.
And this was designed specifically to be a solar off
grid water pressurization system.
And so from there, we can pump out of a storage tank, a stream, a
lake, and provide
pressurized water to where it's needed, whether it's irrigation, sprinklers,
livestock, your house, anywhere else, you would commonly used pressurized water.
The secret to this system is we have a constant pressure pump.
And so what we actually do is we adjust the speed of the motor
to match the water pressure and volume required at any given time.
The motor can react really quickly.
And so if the water demand changes, it can quickly ramp up
and speed or ramp down and speed to maintain constant pressure.
With that technology, we can eliminate the large pressure time.
So instead of spending 500 to 1000 plus dollars on a couple of large pressure
tanks, we can use our constant pressure TPE system to write pressurized
water wherever it's needed.
So with
a classic pressurized system using, say, an AC pump,
there's a lot of different components
we're going to have to get and piece together for a full system.
So we're gonna need the pump. That's pretty obvious.
We're going to need a pressure tank, and sometimes we're going to need multiple
pressure tanks.
So depending on our exact water usage, we may need like 140 gallon tank.
We may need a 100 gallon tank
or multiple 100 gallon tanks in order to fulfill our needs.
We didn't make sure that sized appropriately so we don't cycle our pump
on and off too frequently with a classic AC style pump.
Then we ever tank tees.
We have our pressure switches.
We actually have over pressurization valves.
There's a couple other things going in. The systems we need.
Get all that together plummet and get it set up to run with our AC pump.
With a tankless pressure pump, we eliminate all of that complexity
with that pump.
We simply plug it into our water source, give it power using our TV controller
and batteries, or we directly to AC, and it simply runs and provides pressure.
From there, we can hook up a hose and a sprayer and it's ready to run.
Or we can hook it directly up to sprinklers.
We can also quickly adjust the pressure.
If we want more pressure, we just turn it up.
And if we want less pressure,
say, for drip irrigation, we can turn it down to our 20
psi and provide perfect, constant pressure to our tire irrigation system.
The three most common applications for a tap
system would be first and foremost off grid living.
So off grid cabin, a hunting cabin, a house,
or if you simply want to make sure you have a constant water supply
in case of power outages, then a tap system can provide water
pressure to your structure or your ranch or anything else.
The second most common would be small farms and for irrigation.
From this, we can run either drip lines or sprinklers.
And water of our plants is a perfect setup for it because we can pump
water into a large storage tank and then pressurize that water
and send it out either to drip lines, sprinklers or anywhere else is needed.
Like I mentioned before,
we can also adjust the pressure really quickly for the output
so we can switch from a sprinkler to drip irrigation with a couple of pushes.
A third wells column would be livestock water.
So we can take the central tank,
we can fill that up with a solar pump and then we can put our TBP system there.
From there it's like a classic water system.
We can run our pipes out to our various tanks or livestock troughs
and use classic float vows to keep them full.
The TV is going to kick on any time the livestock drink from those tanks,
draw it down and then it's going to start to fill them up.
