Jet irrigation pumps are offered with different equipment such as a battery controller and this equipment can affect the power of the pump. Battery controllers are an essential part of almost any electrical system that charges batteries, whether the power source is solar panels, wind, hydro, fuel, or the power grid. Its purpose is to keep your deep cycle battery properly powered and safe for long periods of time. 
The basic functions of the controller are very simple. The battery controller blocks reverse current flow and prevent battery overcharging. Some controllers can also prevent battery over-discharge, prevent electrical overload, and/or display battery status and current. In most controllers, the load current passes through a semiconductor (transistor), which acts as a valve to control the current. It's called a "semiconductor" because it only passes current in one direction. It prevents reverse current flow without additional effort or cost. In some older controllers, a solenoid turns a mechanical switch on and off (called a relay - you can hear it open and close.). These controllers are sometimes called call diversion controllers. If you're only using the solar panel array to charge the battery (which is a very small array relative to the size of the battery), you probably don't need a charge controller. It's a rare app. An example is a small maintenance module that prevents battery drain in a parked vehicle but does not support a heavy load. In this case, you can install a simple diode to block reverse current flow. The diodes used for this purpose are called "blocking diodes". This is the most basic function of any charge controller. The controller "looks at" the voltage and adjusts the battery charge accordingly. Some controllers regulate the flow of energy to the battery by turning the current on or off completely. This is called "on/off control". 
jet irrigation pump and power equipment
As a jet irrigation pump can be provided electric powered, some power equipment is needed. Irrigation pumps are manufactured in a wide range including centrifugal, submersible, jet, and propeller types. They are used in domestic lawn sprinkler and water augmentation applications as well as large-scale agriculture and fire protection. Irrigation pumps can use municipal water supplies or natural water sources such as lakes or ponds and are available in electric or gas models. Proper sizing of an irrigation pump involves measuring the source pressure (psi) against the flow (gph) and pressure (feet of head) requirements of the sprinkler system and selecting the pump that most effectively connects the first to the second. Many online tutorials are available for anyone interested in designing a basic irrigation system compatible with local water resources. Proficient irrigation services are an option for applications with complex prerequisites. The pump curve is a good starting point when selecting a pump in the middle of the equation. Pump manufacturers publish pump curves to illustrate pump performance (in feet and psi) over a range of pressures and flow rates. The shape of the pump curve varies depending on the design of the pump. Pump efficiency peaks at a specific combination of flow and head then drop below maximum as flow increases. The objective is to select the most efficient pump for the flow and pressure conditions required by the system. Typically, electric motor pumps are driven at 1750 or 3500 rpm (½ to 2 HP). 1750 rpm driven models are capable of a lower head than 3500 rpm driven models, but with higher emissions.

jet irrigation pump battery
customers can run a jet irrigation pump with a battery. The inverter/charger does nothing until you connect it to the battery which is sold separately. These are not the kind of batteries you put in a flashlight. Instead, we are talking about a 12-volt deep-cycle lead-acid battery similar to a car battery. "Deep-cycle" means they can discharge almost completely without losing the ability to produce the specified output. Although similar to the batteries in your car, the batteries used with the inverter/charger are not exactly the same. Instead, these are the type of batteries you might use in a golf cart, boat, or RV. All deep-cycle batteries are rechargeable, so unlike buying AA batteries, you have to choose between disposable and rechargeable. The main decision you need to make is to seal or unseal. Sealed batteries are often referred to as "maintenance free" because you don't need to refill them regularly with distilled water, which makes life much easier. The more batteries you connect to the inverter/charger, the longer your sump pump will run. This is often one of the advantages of the modular nature of the inverter/charger over a UPS system - you'll choose the size of the system and its cost. In theory, you can connect an unlimited number of batteries and achieve unlimited runtime, but there are practical constraints including cost, space, weight, and charger size, so you may not only need a few batteries. You can use just one battery if you really need to, but chances are you'll need at least two. You can also choose to use a 6-volt battery instead of a 12-volt battery, but you must connect them correctly. For example, four 6-volt batteries can provide the same amount of power as two 12-volt batteries if properly connected. 
jet irrigation pump controller
The pump controller can control the flow of jet irrigation of the pump. This device monitors flow and/or level variables and controls the pump accordingly to maintain the desired level. Pump control can include simple starting and stopping of the pump, or more advanced control of pump speed, outlet pressure, etc. Many pump controllers include flow indication and totalizer, data logger, and chart recorder functions. Products offering level or pressure control are also available. Liquid level controllers monitor, regulate and control the level of liquids or solids in a process. Pressure controllers accept inputs from pressure sensors, transmitters, meters, and other devices. These pump controllers then adjust and control the pressure to maintain or reach the desired level. Some pump controllers are printed circuit boards (PCBs) that plug directly into the backplane of the computer. Others attach to panels or bolts to chassis, wall, cabinet, or enclosure; mount in racks, including hardware such as rails, flanges, or tabs; or mount on standard DIN rails. Table or floor pump controllers are also available with complete enclosures or cabinets and integrated interfaces. Pump controller specifications include the number of inputs, number of outputs, input type, output type, and number of zones (if applicable). The number of inputs is equal to the total number of signals sent to the controller. The number of outputs is equal to the total number of outputs used to control, compensate or correct the process. Input types include direct current (DC) voltage, current loop, analog signal from a resistor or potentiometer, frequency input, and switch or relay input. Output types include analog voltage, current loop, switch or relay output, and pulse or frequency. The pump controller can also send input or receive output in serial, parallel, Ethernet, or other digital formats that indicate process variables. 
jet irrigation pump check valve
In accordance with the customer’s usage, a check valve can be used in a jet irrigation pump system. Check valves are usually installed in pipelines to prevent backflow. A check valve is basically a one-way valve in which fluid can flow freely in one direction, but if the flow is diverted, the valve will close to protect pipes, other valves, pumps, etc. Water hammer can occur if the flow is diverted and no check valve is installed. water hammer regularly happens with extraordinary constrain and can effectively harm pipes or components. Check valves are utilized in numerous diverse applications. For example, they are usually placed on the discharge side of the pump to protect the pump against backflow. Centrifugal pumps are the most common type of water pump and are not self-priming. 
Check valves are therefore essential to keep water in the pipes. In addition, check valves are regularly utilized in HVAC systems (warming, ventilation, and air conditioning systems). HVAC systems are for example used in large buildings where the coolant is pumped to many floors. A non-return valve is installed here to ensure that the coolant does not flow back. In order to be able to choose the right check valve for your application, you must consider a number of selection criteria. First, no one type of check valve is the best choice for all applications, and the selection criteria may not be equally important for all situations. The check valve should be installed in the suction side piping as close as possible to the water source. It should not be installed within 2' of the pump inlets, or anywhere on the pump outlet side. The foot valve works like a check valve with a filter on it. It is located at the end of the suction tube in the water. 
jet irrigation pump drain plug
In a jet irrigation pump, a drain plug means a valve or device on or inside a vessel or other floating device used to control the flow of water from a compartment (including but not limited to bilges, wells, compartments, lockers, or ballast systems) designed to contain water. The main function of the drain valve is to allow excess water vapor to escape into the atmosphere. Condensate removal helps prevent the formation of corrosion which can eventually damage the compressor and shorten its life. By removing water from the compressed air system, the drain valve also reduces wear and tear on tools and equipment driven by the compressor unit. Here are examples of many types of air compressor drain valves:
- Floating Operation: This valve allows water to flow into a special housing. When the water in the tank reaches a predetermined level, the float triggers the drain to open, allowing excess water to flow out.
- Timer Control: A timer-controlled valve opens and closes at preset intervals. This type of system is ideal for highly regulated operating environments.
- ZERO LOSS: This type of drain valve incorporates a sensor probe to monitor standing water in the tank. When the water level reaches a specified level, the probe sends an electrical signal to the solenoid. The drain then opens, but the water flow stops before the compressed air is released.
Each of the drain valve types listed above operates automatically, meaning little or no manual intervention is required. The biggest challenge is choosing a model that is compatible with your equipment and meets your operational requirements. For example, a floating control unit makes sense if your compressor is not near a power source. If you run your compressor regularly, the timer-controlled version may be the best choice. If you want to minimize the loss of compressed air during the unloading process, a zero-loss air compressor unloader valve works well. 
jet irrigation pump enclosures
*The jet irrigation pump enclosure is a vandal and weather-resistant housing constructed entirely of aluminum alloy with different wall thicknesses. The main housing is a solid panel construction with sides stamped in a rectangular pattern for ventilation. The mounting base plate is constructed of powder-coated stainless steel and is set in wet concrete or anchored in hardened concrete at least 2 inches deep using the anchor plate provided. Center slotted design allows the enclosure to pivot sideways, and pivot on mounting hardware at either end full release locking mechanism is a stainless-steel cross bar that includes provisions for a padlock. There are many options for motor housing. For example, a common situation we encounter is a pump in a flushing application. A waterproof motor housing is necessary if the pump is cleaned and disinfected regularly. Here are some other apps we recommend for the ones we've seen:
- Open Drip Proof (ODP) - Typically used in indoor, clean, dry locations. Air circulates through the windings, cooling the engine.
- Totally Enclosed Non-Vented (TENV) - Most commonly used in very dirty or humid environments.
- Totally Enclosed Fan Cooling (TEFC) - Similar to a totally enclosed cabinet with no ventilation, but it has a cooling fan.
- Weatherproof Type 1 (WPI) - As you might expect, the weatherproof type enclosure is suitable for outdoor use.
- Weatherproof Type 2 (WPII) - This enclosure is used for pumps requiring a high degree of protection. Ventilation air is routed in such a way that airborne particles do not enter the electrical parts of the engine.
- Exp Proof - These enclosures are outlined for unsafe applications. The enclosure can withstand explosions from inside the engine enclosure, preventing the ignition of harmful gases or air particles.
