How Much Water Do 100 Head of Cattle Need per Day?
As a rule of thumb, beef cattle drink between 20 and 30 gallons per day, with the high end coming in hot weather. Using those figures, we simply do the math. 50 head of cattle x 30 gallons per day = 1,500 gallons per day100 head of cattle x 30 gallons per day = 3,000 […]
How Much Water Will a Solar Pump Produce in a Day?
A solar pump only runs while the sun is on the panels, so we look at gallons per day and not just gallons per minute. Take the pump’s flow rate and multiply it by your pumping hours. In most of the Southwest that is about 6 hours in summer and closer to 4 in the […]
How Deep Can a Solar Submersible Pump Actually Pump?
Our deepest pump designed specifically to run on solar is the HR-5-750. It will deliver about 5 gallons per minute at around 800 feet. Anything beyond that can be handled a few different ways, whether that’s running a three-phase AC pump with an inverter or breaking the total head into stages.
How Many Solar Panels Do I Need to Run a Well Pump?
How Many Solar Panels Do I Need to Run a Well Pump? Oct 5, 2026 · Tate We look at three things to determine this: the voltage the pump requires, how much power (watts) it needs at that voltage, and how much water you need per day. The SDS-T-128 can produce about 1.5 gallons per […]
What Size Solar Pump Do I Need for a 300-Foot Well?
What Size Solar Pump Do I Need for a 300-Foot Well? Oct 2, 2026 · Tate The short answer I would answer this by saying it’s not so much about size as it is about performance. If a 300-foot well has a static water level around 180 feet, that is the depth you actually have […]
How Heat and Seasons Affect Solar Panel Efficiency and Pump Performance
How Heat and Seasons Affect Solar Panel Efficiency and Pump Performance When people think about solar panels, they usually assume one thing: hotter weather equals more power. That sounds logical. It’s also not entirely true. If you’re running a solar pumping system, understanding how seasonality and temperature affect performance can save you a lot of […]
How Much Water Do I Need For My Livestock?
The amount of water you need depends on your herd size, species, and conditions. Here’s some guidance that may help for livestock. Start with daily needs per animal (average): Beef cow: 10–20 gallons/day Sheep/goat: 1–4 gallons/day Horse: 5–15 gallons/day Multiply by herd size. Example: 50 beef cows × 15 gallons each = 750 gallons/day. Double […]
