BACOENG 12V DC Farm & Ranch Solar Water Pump Submersible Well Pump 20FT Lift

This little pump is redicilious. It won't die. I have it hooked up to a 100w solar panel with a small charge controller and a little gel cell battery. I set it up on a little pump station in some fresh packed sand and dirt. we had a small tornado and 19 inches of rain come in floated the tank out how the pump didn't break is beyond my imagination. the pump is literally sitting in a mud hole pumping dirt, sand, clay and who knows what else debris for 15 days now. here is the out flow in the picture of it discharging over a 25' tall dirt berm. its still working. out of the box, I immediately said I got ripped off, it looks poorer quality than what the picture looks. it won't die. I've had to guilds 1.5 horse pumps run for a day before they quit in the sand in mud. this one kicks on every morning with the solar controller when the sunlight gets bright and shuts down every afternoon when it gets dark. This little pump, doesn't put out much, maybe 10gpm, but it's a beast, it just keeps going and going and going. I'll probably buy another one.

The 3/4 inch thread is worthless, can't put a hose on it. Makes the whole thing worthless to me, and I'm not happy. Returning this and never buying from this company again. After writing this review the seller reached out to me and offered a full refund for the product. It did not solve my issue for needing a working pump, but it was a pleasant experience to have a seller reach out to me rather than the other way around.

I was skeptical at first about this pump. It seemed too good to be true. i took a chance on it, and Have been happy with the results. We use this on our farm in a portable water station. It is needed to get water to our critters. We use a 275gal water tank on a small trailer to get water to the animals. Our old pump died ($129.00) and so when I went in search of a new one, this submersible one was available. I did have to modify the tank to get it inside given it's base is almost 7" in size. The only concern I had with the entire device was the Hose connection. My connection point was weak threaded so we had to apply a balloon around the neck, and then cut off the balloon this gave the hose connector enough to grab to create a tight connection. The pump advertises a 20ft lift, I can't speak to that as we don't lift that high, but we do lift straight up 6' and then it pumps out of a 50' hose and the pressure is not great, but it does the job. It was worth the money and I plan to by another as a spare.

So far so so good, this is not a powerful pump by any means, but it does trickle the water out. Will it take a while to water anything? Yeah, but if you had a pond and a solar set up. You could set this thing up to run a trickle to plants or animals water if needed. All depends on what you need it for. So far it's been working for me. I'm hoping it lasts a while.

After one day of use, some of the screws are corroded. No, I did not leave it in the water when not in use.The brass piece that you're supposed to connect to the garden hose, the threads weren't deep enough or the pipe wasn't big enough to connect to a standard garden hose. It would seem like it was on there and then once the pump started up the garden hose would disconnect. Sometimes it won't work on the initial startup for whatever reason it won't prime even though it's fully submerged. I added extra screening just in case that's what the zip ties are about.

I've been running this pump around 3 days per week for about 90 minutes. I power it with my jackery portable battery and it's a champ. I drilled a bunch of holes in the lid of a bucket, placed the pump in the bucket and then dropped the bucket into the river. I have just left the pump in the bucket in the river and it's performed flawlessly. im lifting the water from between 6 and 15 feet and pumping through 200 feet of garden hose. I planned to attach solar panels to the pump but after trying it out with the jackery I don't think I will change anything up. I have never used more than 15% of a full charge to do all of my irrigation. I planted a mess of trees this year and I don't think they would have made it if I hadn't been able to irrigate them so efficiently

It's cheap been in the water a week and shows rust

Update: Typical lifetime is 1-2 years of use (a few days per week for ~ 3-4 months) before the cable/housing develops a short-circuit or the pump flange (injection molded plastic) cracks and develops leaks that make the pump ineffective. I've been using 4x 100W solar panels, wired in parallel, to power the pump. It seems like a pump shouldn't be a consumable, but it definitely has a brief life in the context of how long a solar panel lasts. Original Review: I have this pump (12v version) direct wired to two 100w solar panels (wired in parallel). In this condition, I can get adequate flow from the pump. Working conditions are approximately 10-15' rise (head) and 20' of 1" pipe in series with 200' of 2" plastic poly pipe. Under these conditions I could lift about 250gal of water in 30 minutes. Note, a backflow valve is an important thing to include if you're using a solar to drive the pump. A single 100W 12v panel generates a very slow flowrate with this pump. If you used a "buck-boost" or current boosting well controller, you might be able to get away with a single 100W panel. Waterflow above is shown for a single 100W panel in noonday sun.

4 months, still going.
