SD Series Pumps
Water Delivery up to 4.36 gpm /16.5 lpm,
Pumping Range 0-230 feet / 0-70 meters
Highest Quality Submersible
Pump in its Class
Field Serviceable with Simple Hand Tools
The Kyocera SD Series of submersible solar pumps are highly efficient,
low voltage, DC powered, diaphragm type positive displacement
pumps designed specifically for water delivery in remote locations.
They operate on 12 to 30 volts of direct current that may be supplied
from a variety of independent power sources including solar panels
and/or batteries. Power requirements can be as little as 35 watts.
Constructed of marine grade bronze and 304 stainless steel, these
pumps are the highest quality submersible pumps in their class.
Kyocera’s SD series pumps can be installed below water level in a pond,
river or cistern, or installed by hand into a ground water well. They can
be used to fill an open tank or in a pressurized water delivery system.
Simplicity is the key feature of the SD series pumps. They are easy to
install, require very little maintenance and are completely field serviceable.
The SD series pumps are designed for use in stand alone water delivery
systems. They are pollution-free, corrosion-resistant and quiet. It is the
ideal way to provide water for livestock, remote homes, campsites, small
farms or any other need beyond the commercial power grid.

To do an approximate sizing for
your pump system:
1. Select the best Kyocera SD pump for your needs, based
on depth of well and amount of water required
2. Find intersection of head and flow on performance chart
3. Estimate pump wattage, or use next highest pump
wattage curve on chart
4. Multiply pump watts from curve by 1.33 to
find solar watts
5. Select the best single solar module*, or use two
modules in series to reach solar watts
Note: Actual liters pumped will depend on actual sun
hours at installation site. Increasing the array
amperage will extend morning/evening run times.
Optimum performance based on full sun at site.
*Single module use only possible when using the
Kyocera CD 300 Pump Controller. Total solar array
VOC must not exceed 43 volts at 25°C.
