The DC motor can be driven with 40-90VDC solar direct (optimal voltage range is 60-76VDC).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Backwoods Solar 3DC-16-255 offers 16GPM at a lift of 255′.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis pump is Centrifugal. The pump liner, shaft and coupling, strainer, and cable sheath are made of stainless steel. The impeller is plastic. Base support and upper head is microcast AISI 304 stainless steel. Check valve incorporated in the head.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe innovative wet end design gives the pump superior sand handling capabilities and\u003cbr\u003eprovides maintenance free operation.

Pumps are recommended for use in\u003cbr\u003ewater temperatures up to 86 degrees Fahrenheit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCentrifugal pumps feature dry-run protection so no additional protection is needed. When the pump runs dry for 10 seconds it will stop and then try again after 1 minute. If it does not sense water again it will stop and attempt to run again after another 30 minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSolar direct applications should use a nominal panel size of 300 watts for standard applications, but larger 72 cell panels can be used for peak performance and a wider window of operation. Backwoods Solar pumps include an external DC only pump  controller free of charge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum total lift of 255′\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum flow of 15.8 GPM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutlet 1 1\/2″ NPT threaded female\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDouble shielded brushless permanent magnet motor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh Efficiency MPPT tracker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMotor is rated for 40-90 Vmp\/96 VOC (optimal voltage range is 60-76VDC)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan be submerged up to 150 meters (492 feet) below static water level\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIndustry leading 3 year limited warranty\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Backwoods Solar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42411734630463,"sku":"P-BW-3DC-16-255","price":480.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0629\/4611\/5647\/files\/P-BW-3DC-16-255.png?v=1763323384","url":"https:\/\/backwoodssolar.com\/products\/bws-3-dc-pump-only-16-gpm-255","provider":"Backwoods Solar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
