This is really helpful. It sounds like we have similar setups. I would like to try the 24vDC pump. Someone told me it would deliver the same gpm though so I didn't bother. I think my little 12V pump is not able to keep up with demand when my 80 gal. pressure tank empties. So there is a lag and...

So Unique said that when you use the AC converter on a DC fridge, it consumes just as much energy as a regular AC fridge. The only advantage of getting the DC now would be that I can back it up with my Goal Zero generator when I need to without draining the battery quickly. The AC fridge is...

OK, so I tested everything yesterday. The first thing I did was clean the spin down sediment filter. I don't know if that did the trick but when I tested everything, it all seemed good. -When I ran pump water into a bucket, it filled 4 gallons in about 1 minute -Pump turns on at 40 PSI -Runs...

The pump is connected to an external pressure switch which is wired to my battery. Should I put the tester on the wires going to the pressure switch?

OK, I can try those things. The supply voltage seems good. The control box says it's delivering 12V.

I have not tested this. My guess is no. Not sure where to connect a hose from. Maybe I can undo the hose clamp and get a garden hose adapter on the pump outlet?

Yes, Ive been trying to troubleshoot this! Not sure what is wrong, but I determined it is not the pressure tank, since it is brand new and the pre-charge is fine. The run from the cistern is maybe 6 feet. It goes through a spin down sediment filter first. It takes a few turns and sits about the...

Hi All! I'm trying to finish my solar well house and work out all the kinks before I send the water to the main house. Everything works well except my 12v DC Aquatec 550 pump doesn't seem strong enough to keep up with my 86 gal. pressure tank. After I use up the 20 gallons in the tank, the...

I'm trying to decide between a couple fridges made by Unique. I already have grid power, but would like to stay energy efficient and also be able to use my backup power when needed (Goal Zero 1500W Yeti). Unique makes DC fridges that have an AC converter to plug into the grid. They claim this is...
