We keep our figures conservative, as no one's ever complained to us that we've given them too much water. In fact, farmers often tell us their pump delivers more than we promised.

Testimonial. We needed to pump water from a stream up 50m to our water tank 250m away. There was no electricity available and although our initial plan was to install a ram pump this was identified as being difficult and costly to install and would require regular maintenance. I initially had serious doubts about using a solar pump but after talking to Wayne I was confident that a Perkinz Solar Sub would supply the 9 litres per minute that we needed over the summer months.

The pump install was quick and easy and i was very surprised to see the pump delivering 10 litres per minute even though it was raining continuously. Once the rain cleared the output increased to over 30 litres per minute. That's over 20m3 per day, well over the 5-8m3 that Wayne promised.

I am extremely happy with this system and would highly recommend it to anyone needing a remote water supply. Rob Harris Director, Hero Bees NZ Ltd
