Portable watering systems are ideal for providing fresh water to livestock during warmer months.  Watering livestock from this portable trough helps ensure a higher quality water source and a healthier herd, leading to increased weight gain, and in turn, higher profits for producers. The SW500 watering system is easily transported and can be installed quickly and easily.  With a heavy duty frame and battery box, you can be assured that the system will withstand the harshest conditions.  This system is built to last but is also very versatile, with a low profile design that is easily converted to transport mode with ATV towing capability. The SW500 can support up to 6388 Gals/Day or 256 cow/calf pairs with the water consumption based on 25 Gal/Cow-Calf/Day.

Stationary summer watering systems are ideal for upgrading your current livestock watering solution.  Whether you have a dugout, well, or other surface water source, Solar West is able to build a system that will meet your needs.  Watering livestock with this type of system helps ensure higher water source quality and a healthier herd, leading to increased weight gain, and in turn, higher profits for producers. This summer watering system is easy to install and comes with all the parts required to operate.  Using only the highest quality components, Solar West Pumping Kits are a reliable addition to your livestock watering solution.

Solar West floating pumps have a maximum lifting capacity of 40’ and can be powered with as little as 1 – 64 watt panel and a single 12 Volt battery.  These pumps are ideal for pumping from dugouts, lakes, rivers and streams.  Solar West pumps do not have a check valve, to facilitate efficient water drain back, allowing you to use the pump earlier in the spring and later in the fall.  Solar West’s newly designed pumps also include an injection molded glass reinforced polypropylene casing, O-ring seals, stainless steel screws, fewer parts and leak points. Floating pumps can be used with any combination of solar panels supporting up to 46.8 Gal/Min or 590 cow/calf pairs, depending on the height of the lift with the water consumption based on 25 Gal/Cow0-Calf/Day.

No check valve allows water in the line to flow back through pump, allowing longer use in spring and fall.

Solar West uses high quality Lorentz pumps that are stainless steel with a brushless design. Each submersible pump includes a minimum of 75’ cord, and a low water sensor for well applications. Also available is a float for open access water applications. Some Lorentz pumps have the check valve removed allowing for water to drain back so it can be used earlier in the spring and later in the fall. Our submersible pumps can be used with various combinations of panels and troughs to support up to 1000 co/calf pairs in the summer time with water consumption based on 25 Gal/Cow-Calf/Day.
