CORE 140 1000W Solar DC Borehole Pump
The CORE 140 is a 1000W solar DC borehole pump for use in a correctly designed solar water-pumping installation. Its stated maximum head is 140m, and its stated maximum flow rate is 1500 litres per hour.
These figures represent separate performance limits. The pump does not deliver 1500 litres per hour at a head of 140m. Actual water delivery depends on the pumping head, available solar power, pipework and installation conditions.
WATER-PUMPING APPLICATIONS
The CORE 140 can be considered for borehole water supply where its performance curve and installation requirements match the site’s needs.
A suitable installation requires an assessment of the borehole’s water yield, pumping water level, required delivery height and daily water demand.
UNDERSTANDING HEAD AND FLOW
Maximum head describes the pump’s stated upper lifting limit. It is not the recommended operating depth or a guarantee of useful water flow at that height.
Maximum flow describes the stated upper flow limit under the corresponding test conditions. Flow generally decreases as the required head increases.
The total pumping head includes the vertical lift from the pumping water level to the delivery point, pipe friction and any required outlet pressure. Borehole depth alone is not enough to determine pump suitability.
SOLAR POWER REQUIREMENTS
The pump must be connected to a compatible solar supply and control arrangement in accordance with its installation instructions.
The 1000W rating identifies the pump’s stated power rating. It does not specify the required solar panel array size. Panel quantity, voltage, current and controller requirements must be checked for the exact equipment supplied.

PACKAGE CONTENTS
This listing is for the CORE 140 pump. Confirm whether a controller, solar panels, cables, pipework, fittings or mounting equipment are included in your quotation before purchasing.
Installation services are included only where expressly stated in the quotation.
INSTALLATION AND SELECTION
A suitably qualified pump installer should check the manufacturer’s performance curve against your required operating head and flow before purchase.
The installer must also confirm borehole diameter, pump dimensions, water quality limits, cable requirements and the protection needed for the installation.
Actual water output varies with sunlight, available electrical power, the borehole’s yield and the completed system design. No fixed daily water volume is guaranteed.
