Product Description

The Dankoff SunCentric Surface Pump delivers high‑volume water pumping directly from solar power, moving up to 50,000 gallons per day from shallow water sources . Designed for off‑grid reliability, it supports irrigation, livestock watering, domestic supply, pond management, water treatment, solar water heating, hydronic heating, and fire protection — all without requiring batteries.

Built for long‑term service, the SunCentric uses a durable cast‑iron pump body, glass‑filled polycarbonate impeller, and industry‑standard carbon/ceramic seal. Wear parts typically last 5–10 years, with an overall pump life of 15–20 years before rebuild . This makes it one of the most dependable high‑flow solar pumps available.

The SunCentric can operate PV‑direct or from a battery system, giving you flexibility for both storage‑tank systems and constant‑pressure applications.

PV Array‑Direct Operation

  • Uses water storage instead of batteries — simplest and most durable setup

  • No pump controller required

  • Solar tracker optional for improved daily flow

  • Recommended storage: 3–7 days of water demand

  • Excellent for circulating solar‑heated water

Battery Operation

  • Best for constant pressure or on‑demand pressure

  • Ideal where a storage tank is not feasible

  • Batteries may be charged from any power source
