Build: Solar Powered Pump to Water Flowers from Rain Barrels
To increase water pressure from the rain barrels, this solar-powered pump was put in place, to pump water from the totes to soaker hoses watering four zones of flowers. The system consists of a 12V, 20 watt solar panel, 12V SLA battery, charge controller, timer, switch and voltage meter, all housed in a small water-proof ammunition box.
NOTE: In the video, I incorrectly said 12 volt, 20 amp solar panel - should be 20 watt.

      The totes were used and about $100 for all three. The lumber was another $100 or so. The fittings took a long time to figure out but were under $100. But I also used a table saw and a miter saw. If you don't count tools, let's say about $300 since I'm sure I missed some miscellaneous materials like stain, adhesives, etc.

    • @guywithblueglasses2235
      @guywithblueglasses2235 3 роки тому

      The wheels do rotate but in hindsight I should have chosen bigger ones. As I store things in the lower compartments, the whole thing got quite heavy and harder to move. I don't move it too often so it hadn't been too bad for me. Having the wheels closer to the center is a good idea and will make maneuvering it easier. Good luck!

      I did draw some plans but they were handdrawn and a mess. The idea was using whatever materials I had to make something that worked for me. The trick is to make the saw surface flush with the table top. The other trick is that the height of the table should come up to around your palm with your arms dropped straight down your side. This will make it easier for you to work on the surface, based on your height.
