SOLAR WATER PUMPS

FOR 1 - 2 ACRE FARMS

ZERO FUEL COSTS EARN MORE MONEY GROW ALL YEAR

 Irrigating a small farm with petrol pumps is expensive.
Hauling a watering can around is exhausting. Neither
option is a good solution for most farmers.

Yet irrigation is a brilliant way to improve farm yields and,

in dry seasons especially, it can mean big profits.

We’ll let you into a secret...

Futurepump solar water pumps let you irrigate
with the power of free sunshine.

Note!
The SF2H is a ‘high-head’
version of the SF2 adapted to
have an increased total head.
The greater the vertical distance that
the pump needs to lift water, the
harder it has to work. That means
you’ll get less water per second,
but it can pump higher.
