Franklin Electric 70DTMSP-1.1 4" Solar Bore Pump Kit Excluding Panels - Post Mount

The Franklin Electric 70DTMSP-1.1 Solar Bore Pump Kit provides a solar-powered water supply solution for rural properties, livestock watering and bore-to-tank transfer. Combining a 4" submersible pump and motor with a DrivE-Tech MINI Solar MP controller, this package includes the core pumping and control components required for connection to a compatible solar array. Its 1.1kW motor is paired with a 10-stage pump end in the 70 L/min nominal flow range, with final selection based on the bore’s pumping water level, delivery elevation, pipework losses and required daily water volume.

The DrivE-Tech MINI Solar MP controller converts power from a separately supplied solar array into a controlled electrical supply for the submersible motor. Maximum Power Point Tracking helps optimise the use of available solar energy, while variable-speed control adjusts pump operation as sunlight changes throughout the day. Integrated voltage boost, built-in diagnostics and motor protection functions support solar pumping operation, with the included flow switch and 32mm stainless steel manifold providing the components for flow monitoring within a correctly installed and configured system.

Supplied with a 304 stainless steel pump and motor, splice kit and pole mounting bracket, the 70DTMSP-1.1 offers a practical package for new solar bore installations or compatible replacement systems. The -PM suffix identifies the pole mounting bracket for the controller assembly, distinguishing this package from the ground-mount version. Solar panels and the solar array frame are not included, allowing these components to be selected separately to match the controller’s electrical requirements, installation conditions and desired pumping performance.

SPECIFICATIONS

INCLUSIONS

• DrivE-Tech MINI Solar MP controller.
• Pole mounting bracket for the controller assembly.
• 304 stainless steel submersible pump and motor.
• Splice kit.
• Flow switch.
• 32mm stainless steel manifold.

APPLICATIONS

SELECTION AND INSTALLATION INFORMATION

• Solar array required: Solar panels and the solar array frame are excluded. Select a compatible array to meet the controller’s electrical requirements and required pumping duty.
• Post-mount configuration: The supplied bracket supports the controller assembly on a suitable pole. It is separate from the solar panel mounting frame.
• Flow designation: The 70 L/min figure identifies the pump’s nominal flow range; it is not its maximum flow.
• Performance: Actual delivery depends on available solar power, pumping water level, delivery elevation and pipework friction losses.
• System sizing: Confirm the required daily water volume and total dynamic head before selecting the pump and solar array.
• Installation accessories: Select the required submersible cable, rising main, fittings and level controls separately.
• Backup power: Confirm any mains or generator backup requirements when ordering. AC changeover equipment is not included in the confirmed kit contents.
