Reviews of Expensive European Solar Pumps |
| Went for the better of the cheap pumps $125 not $79 think they are the same quit after 40 days cant send it back and yeamart just sends me to amazon who say sure send it back unopened in original box which was torn up is transit and by the way you can’t cause it is over the 30 day return policy | System has been working great. My neighbor will get in touch with you soon for a system. | Pumps fine but its cost an arm and a leg. Way overkill for what I needed |
| After just 3 months of use the pump stopped working. When it was pulled out of the well, it was very evident what had happened. The tiny little poor quality screws that held the chassis together did not stand a chance holding the housing together. I am surprised it lasted 3 months. Definitely a manufacturing defect. Good luck trying to call the company to have it replaced, the number rings busy continuously. Hopefully someone will read this and reach out and do the right thing and make this right. | I have replaced 3 windmill pumps with these RPS systems and I dont have to worry about them no more. Been working for almost 2 years. | I can do the work myself, why am I forced to pay a contractor to install it for me. Just sell me the pump |
| I felt like the butt of a joke by some sleazeball in china who wanted to see what some american would buy online. I will not make the same mistake again. It lasted about 20 minutes and then the top cracked open from the heat I presume and the whole thing flooded. Better off pumping by hand then this P.O.S. | We like to be prepared. If SHTF and the Grid goes down I want to be able to get water. Ive got the 1.3 system stored in a Faraday cage if I need it. | They won’t sell direct to me without a pump contractors licenese. That is dumb |
| Dead on arrival. Contacted seller and explained pump didn’t work. They responded asking if my problem was major problem for working of item. Lol I guess that qualifies as a response… | Easy to install and good flow | I had to replace the entire pump when the pumping mechanism went. Super expensive – no rebuilt or nothing – just had to break out the checkbook again cause for some reason it wasnt covered under the warranty. Bogus. |
| Make sure they do not set a reconditioned or used pump! I ordered another and received an obviously used or returned unit. | Cows have water and are happy, so I am happy. | |
| I was impressed by the quality of the system and ease at which everything can be hooked up. I still cant believe I can produce over 4 GPM! Goodbye gas generator. | ||
| this thing is great for the cabin as we dont need too much water and the well is on the shallow size | ||
| I own four RPS pumps. The water table varies on my properties and its been essential to have pumps that can handle different depths. The guys at RPS are great. Helpful upfront but also when I called for help installing my first kit. (its easy by the way I just had a brain fart) Thats when you can really tell a good company. Ill probably be back again later this year. | ||
| Installed with my son , good instructions ,painless install. Solid pump that is heavy and sturdy , working great so far. If you use poly pipe, make sure to use 2 hose clamps. | ||
| well see how it holds up. a great deal. ive been through so many of the plastic pumps. this one is all metal. happy so far. | ||
| friendly and competent team. USA based support on the phones which is rare these days. the pump is pumping great too. need to make it more clear that the wire and pipe does not come with the kits.. i missed that somehow | ||
| Everything went very well. Install took less than 2 hours. Was surprised how well it was pumping with heavy cloud cover. Very happy with the product and customer service. There has been a few friends checking it out to see if it will work for them. Thanks | ||
| Had an issue with my controller but it may have been user error – the guys replaced it no questions asked and I was pumping right after that | ||

| We installed this with my inlaws. Easy install. We added a 12v booster pump to run water up to our kitchen, washer and bathroom. Nice to have the extra panels too. | ||
| Jeremy and Mike are top notch guys and realy helpful over email and phone better quality than anything else we could find and cheaper too. | ||
| Jeremy was very helpful. Pumping great so far. Happy with the rate. Better than Id thought. | ||
| great pressure and better than estimate gpm be sure to mount the float switch casing to something solid in the tank as the inner part needs to move up and down. Once i figured that out, smooth sailing thanks guys | ||
| I highly recommended a friend call RPS and do it right the first time. Everything is running beautifully I couldnt be happier. Ill continue to praise you guys to others as often as I can. | ||
| I could not find a better price online for a system of similar performance. Not sure how they do it, but they do! | ||
| I purchased over a year ago and everything has been working as expected. No issues, no regrets. | ||
| My husband had this installed in an afternoon and we had water in the garden hose by nightfall. Love this thing! Still need to get the panels off the yard and on to the roof but its working great as is. Recommended | ||
| pumps good | ||
| Was asked to leave some feedback. Like the system. Took a while to get all the parts but its working well now. Pumping water into a stock tank for 25 head. Been about for 3 months now. Am happy. | ||
| Everything seems to be running smoothly | ||
| Best solar pump we have installed yet | ||
| Took a while to get it but it fits well and pumps pretty good | ||
| Bought as gift. Works well with an inline hot water heater. better than the Shurflo one he had there previously. Good flow. Cycles less. | ||
| About to buy another one. Helped friend install over the weekend. Nice easy install. Wish I had more wire on the sensors but it looks like they are making it 100ft now. Pumps great. UPS broke a solar panel but the RPS guys covered it and got another sent to my friend right away. Seem like good guys. Talked to Jeremy and Wayne. Both helpful. I’m in for another well this spring. Thanks guys | ||
| getting good water with my 120 foot deep old well to cattle trough | ||
| Pumps a little slower off 12 volt batteries but very fast with the solar panels directly. I need to add a simple switch to be able to move back and forth between the two from the house. Engineer said I could do at 36 volts too so maybe I will try that too. So far so good | ||
| They got the well going this afternoon! Thank you for all your help in making this all happen. Here’s to many years of satisfied cows! | ||
| We are up and running. Producing 5gal/min. | ||
| I have solar pump working. I’m very pleased with it. | ||
| The pump arrived with all the parts about a week and a half ago! It’s running great. | ||
| Thanks, everything appears in good shape | ||
| All boxes have arrived and I am looking forward to getting the system up and running. | ||
| Thanks | ||
| It’s shoooooting into the tank! It’s *#$@-ing beautiful! | ||
| They have been backed up a little this spring so I have thirsty cows but they are nice guys and I liked my first system so I got a whole box to replace all my windmills. At last. | ||
| Yes we got all of it! Going to put it up Friday! I will try to get a photo of this one and the other one we put up a few weeks ago! It is working perfectly! Thank you!!! | ||
| Yes I received the packages and they all arrived safely and without damage. Please tell Danna that I really am pleased with the prompt service and delivery from you company. You don’t know how much we appreciate it. Thank You | ||
| Thanks a million! You guys rock and have a solid product. | ||
| Yes we received the pump and solar panels and are super excited to get started on installing the pump and putting it to work. | ||
| We are up and pumping. The well is about 67 feet deep and has about 40 feet of water in the hole. It will fill 2 8-foot stock tanks in about 4 hours, so we are pleased. | ||
| Thank you! Installed and pumping even on a cloudy day! | ||
| impressed with volume i get. wildfire smoke does seem to cut down output. | ||

| Thanks for everything. The pump is working excellent | ||
| I had to set the panels off a ways because of trees. It’s been so dry here that this system has been a godsend. I estimate that it easily pumps 4x more than the windmill ever did. | ||
| Wow! You really make things happen. Thank you. | ||
| I install a lot of systems for customers and have worked with many different clients and pump companies The RPS team was very helpful in a resolution to get a customers pump up and running with great customer support and resources shipped overnight They did as promised and kept a customer happy in which keeps me in business. On another note this all took place on a Sunday afternoon through text messages.
Thanks Mike | ||
| It’s been a year since I have installed this pump and I can truly say that this has been the best investment we have made. No longer do we have to haul water ! I installed a 500 gal tank and trenched 500 feet on a slight grade to fill two troughs on gravity flow . We have so much water we have planted several trees in the pasture for my new grandson and great nephew . | ||
| We were up and pumping shortly after delivery. It is working very well pumping 4+ gpm from 70 | ||
| I want you to know I absolutely love my solar well pump. It has been in operation for 3 years and serves to irrigate a small orchard of 130 trees in addition to outdoor watering around the house and lawn. On event of power outage I have a valve that allows it to provide to the house. I brag up this system to any person who is willing to listen. I’m not sure that I have gotten you any word of mouth sales yet but I’m working on it. | ||
| Hey! , just want to say thank you for a great product ! This pump always keeps the tank full. Its such a blessing to not haul water Thanks again ! | ||

| Thanks for all yall’s help. First class customer service! | ||
| The submersible pump works like a champ. I may look at an additional system next year | ||
| This system is working great for us and has saved me from having to haul water. Again Thanks | ||
| Before RPS, I had no idea you could easily run a 3hp pump off solar. Others told me I would need to spend upwards of $10k+ for a large inverter. With this system I saved many thousands of dollars and was able to set it up myself. Thanks RPS! |
