The float switch for the pump is attached to the trough, as this rises and falls it activates\/deactivates the pump. You don't need any special header tanks, e.t.c this product works perfectly well with just a standard water trough. The pump is provided with 30m of hose to connect the water source and the trough itself. This kit is powered by a 12v battery (not included) which sits in a weatherproof control box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThese kits easily integrate with all standard water troughs, so there is no need to worry about issues with the livestock, that you can run across with pasture pumps. These pumps are so flexible in application and compared with the cost of mains water, they are very economical, quickly starting to earn their keep.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Battery Kit includes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003eControl box and battery compartment: Weatherproof polypropylene, battery life monitor, holds up to 12v 85amp\/hr batteries\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003e30m hose: 30m 1\/2\" diameter reinforced hose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003eSubmersible pump: With 30m cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Solar kit also includes a 60 watt solar panel, leads and adjustable mounting frame.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOther information:\u003c\/strong\u003e There is an increasing requirement for landowners and managers to keep livestock away from watercourses. The European Water Framework Directive (WFD) has been establishing a framework for the protection of inland waters, transitional waters (estuaries), coastal waters and groundwater. This is covered by the UK by the Water Environment Regulations of 2003 for England and Wales; the Water Environment and Water Services (Scotland) Act 2003 and The Water Environment Regulations 2003 for Northern Ireland.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDiffuse water pollution for agriculture amounts for 61% of nitrogen entering rivers, up to 40% of phosphorus and 75% of sediment. Fencing off watercourses protects from river bank erosion and relieves poaching, so contributes greatly to cleaner water and promotes growth of healthy native flora and fauna. We can all agree that this is great for our environment, but for landowners who rely on watercourses to water their livestock, it can be very problematic. These battery\/solar water pumps have been designed with this issue in mind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThese pumps require a minimum depth of around 50cm to function properly.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hotline","offers":[{"title":"Battery Powered Kit","offer_id":56926777770309,"sku":"47BPK30-300.","price":583.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Solar Powered Kit","offer_id":56926777803077,"sku":"47SPK60-300.","price":807.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0997\/4595\/6165\/files\/46948_23421.jpg?v=1778768862","url":"https:\/\/tanks-direct.co.uk\/products\/hotline-off-grid-water-pump-kit-solarbattery-power","provider":"Tanks Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
