Choosing and specifying this item

On a solar filling duty the tank replaces a battery bank: pump while the sun is up, distribute by gravity afterwards.

The controls decide whether it works

That makes level control, not the pump, the component that determines success. Specify a high-level float or probe at the tank that stops the pump before overflow, a low-level interlock at the source that stops it before the pump runs dry, and enough separation between switching points to prevent short cycling every time water is drawn off.

Head is measured to the water surface

Static lift runs from the lowest source level to the top water level in the tank — not to the tank base, and not to ground level under a raised stand. Add delivery friction at the intended fill rate, and the loss through a float valve if the inlet has one. Filling into the tank crown rather than below the water line avoids back-siphonage but adds the full static height.

Confirm before quotation

Flow Rate, Head, Power, Voltage and the Solar Input window, and state daily volume and required days of autonomy so fill rate and tank size stay consistent. Check that overflow, warning pipe and vent suit the offered fill rate.

Frequently asked questions

How large should the storage tank be?

Work from the daily demand in the most demanding month multiplied by the days of autonomy the site needs — enough to ride through cloudy days, maintenance and any period the pump is out of service. Storage is usually the cheaper form of resilience on a solar installation compared with batteries. Also check the structure: a raised tank's supporting stand has to carry the full water weight.

What level controls should I include?

At minimum, a high-level cut-out at the tank and a low-level cut-out at the source, with a delay before restart. Float switches, conductive probes and pressure sensors all work; what matters is that the switching points are far enough apart to stop the pump cycling, and that the wiring back to the controller is protected against sun and rodent damage on a remote site.

Should the pump discharge at the top of the tank or the bottom?

Filling above the top water level prevents back-siphonage from the tank into the supply line and makes the inlet easy to inspect, but the pump then works against the full static height. Filling below the water line reduces splashing and aeration and slightly lowers the head, but requires a non-return valve. Decide which applies, and reflect it in the head figure requested.

Do we still need batteries for this arrangement?

Usually not. Storing water is simpler than storing electricity, and a correctly sized tank gives supply after dark by gravity with no electrical components involved. Batteries earn their place only where the tank cannot be elevated enough, where distribution needs pressure a gravity head cannot provide, or where filling must continue at night for reasons of demand.
