Do your smaller pump/charge controllers have built in charge profiles for use with LiFePO4 batteries or can you modify the charge profiles into the controller after the fact?
No we do not. Currently for cost versus performance on solar pumps, we still like the high quality deep cycle lead acid batteries. I think in 2-3 years or so, Lithium batteries will come down in price enough to justify the switch!
Yes, we sell VLRA Gel type 55ah deep cycle batteries. These are designed to withstand more frequent deeper cycles than flooded or AGM type batteries. shop.rpssolarpumps.com/products/deep-cycle-vlra-gel-battery-banks
You can use a solar pump to pump into a storage tank during the day and a solar powered booster pump to pressurize the water. We are releasing a solar booster pump soon, so check back for more details!

@@RPSSolarPumps Thank you for the information!
At 2:08, you mention a link to your website for various batteries. Can you please provide that link?

How does this work with a water softener and water storage tank?

How would this work with a lithium ion battery
Pretty similar, but you have to be careful with lithium ion batteries and putting them in parallel and series. Best to talk with your supplier.
Battle Born batteries would work fine, you may need a separate charge controller though, unless the ones sold by RPS can be adjusted.
