Inside the SF2 Solar Pump
Our SF2 pump is engineered from several parts which work together seamlessly to provide reliable, year-round irrigation. Here are some of its essential components:
- Cage: Protects the pump during transport and makes it easy to handle
- Flywheel: Provides the momentum to move the piston up-and-down
- Post: Secures the cage, flywheel, and motor
- Motor: Drives the pump with power generated from solar panels
- Pulley: Offers two-step functionality—a smaller pulley for low sunlight, higher head; a larger pulley for lower head needs
- Air Vessel: Smooths out the flow of water, creating a steady and reliable output
These components form the backbone of the SF2’s dependable performance. To help you identify each part and understand its function, we recently created an in-depth video with an exploded view of the SF2. Check it out here and see the simplicity which means we can proudly back our pumps with a 10-year warranty.
