[RE-wrenches] low head/low cost solar pump

[mac Lewis]

Hi Wrenches,

Let me be a little more specific about this site.  Potential client has a
pond that he would like to move water to his garden.  This pond is about 10
vetical ft below his garden, and the garden is about 200' horizontal '
away.  He has a little shack about 20' from the pond that we will mount the
solar.  He would like to flood irrigate slowly throughout the day and just
move a flexible hose around.  As far as budget, client hasn't been real
specific.  I have looked at the Shurflow 9300 but was hoping for something
that would operate at a higher flowrate in exchange for not having the high
head capability (and perhaps less expensive).  It does need to be PV direct
capable.



Thanks
