The Dankoff Solar SlowPump 1404 is a reliable, high-efficiency pump designed to draw water from shallow sources and push it over high vertical lifts of up to 440 feet. Operating at 115 VAC, this model is an ideal solution for remote, off-grid water needs, such as irrigation, livestock watering, or village water supply systems. With a robust design and long-lasting parts, it’s a popular choice for both solar and AC-powered installations where consistent, slow, and powerful water movement is needed.

Key Features:

• Exceptional Lift Capacity: Reaches up to 440 feet of total dynamic head, making it ideal for high elevation pumping needs.
• Durable, Efficient Performance: Uses a permanent magnet motor to achieve high efficiency with low amperage, reducing wear on parts.
• Long-lasting Design: Engineered for low maintenance, with wear parts lasting 5-10 years and an overall life expectancy of up to 20 years.
• Easy Integration with Solar Systems: Optimized for off-grid use and compatible with AC, inverter, or solar power setups for flexible deployment.

Designed in the early 1980s as the first commercial solar-powered pump, the SlowPump 1404 has built a legacy of reliability. It operates at a flow rate of 1.62 gallons per minute (GPM) and can handle pressures up to 190.5 psi, making it suitable for demanding applications where high lift and steady performance are crucial. Its compact and rugged design, with a suction capacity of up to 20 feet, ensures versatile installation options. This pump requires clean, sediment-free water to function optimally and pairs well with optional inline sediment filters to maintain its longevity.

The SlowPump 1404’s permanent magnet motor minimizes start-up surge, easing the load on inverters and generators, making it especially efficient for off-grid systems powered by solar energy. Optional accessories, such as dry-run switches, help prevent damage if the water source runs dry, further enhancing the pump’s reliability in remote environments.
