How High Can Water Be Pumped?

Today’s question is, “How high can water be pumped?” So most people think with a solar water pump, that the maximum height is maybe 50-100ft. That might have been true back in the day. However, with today’s advanced water pumping technology and the solar panels and the controller combined, we’re able to increase that pumping head quite a bit.

Nowadays, with a modern solar pump, we’re able to pump up to around 1400 feet of pumping head and that 1400 feet is comparable to even some of the most powerful AC pumps. So 1400 feet is a little extreme. Most of the applications that we see are anywhere from 50 to 300ft of pumping head. But don’t worry if you have something deeper, because we do have a solar water pump that’s going to work for your extreme depths.
