If you need your solar pump to shut off when your stock tank or storage tank is full, we recommend using a float valve, a reverse-action pressure switch and a check valve in order to use pressure as a signal to turn off your pump.

1) A check valve is needed (usually installed at the pump) to maintain pressure in the line and allow for proper shut-off. 2) You''ll need only one side of the reverse action pressure switch.
Customer Service
The RPS Solar Pump will get signal from the pressure switch and come on when the pressure drops (water being used) and off again when the pressure increases (valves are closed).

Check out diagrams of solar pump systems using reverse action pressure switches, use filter "Pressure Shut Off". Let us know if you have questions but they are really easy to install and wire!

While some pump types can operate in reverse (and even rely on it), others absolutely should not. In this article, we''ll break down the pump types, when reverse rotation is acceptable, and the risks of getting

There are two settings to the lever: AUTO and ON. The AUTO setting allows the switch to open and close as the pressure fluctuates, the way we want the switch to work. The ON setting causes
Customer Service
The pressure switch can be connected directly to the tank full input on the controller, but a “reverse action” type pressure switch is needed. These are opposite of the standard action switches used on
