The Grundfos SQ Flex pumping systems are a giant leap forward for solar water pumping. Grundfos, the worlds
largest pump manufacturer, has reduced the cost of the pumps along with reducing the power needs. The result
is a Grundfos centrifugal or helical rotor quality system for about the cost of a diaphragm pump. The Grundfos SQ
Flex pumping system can also be powered by a wind generator if you have the right site. The Whisper WHI-200
Waterpumper on page 53 is the required generator.
CU 200 Control Unit
A user-friendly interface box that maintains two-way
communication with the pump and monitors the operating conditions. Built-in diagnostics indicate
faults and dry-running, display operating status power consumption and level switch input.
IO 100 Switch Box
A very simple and easy-to-use system with cable interface. Controlled by a manual on/off switch.
IO 101 Switch Box
Acts as interface for powering back-up supplies, providing automatic change-over. For instance
when changing from generator to solar energy, the solar panels automatically power the system
as soon as the fuel tank runs dry.
Level Switch
Save energy as you save water. With a level switch inside the storage tank connected to the CU 200
control unit, the pump knows when the tank is full and shuts itself off
