    Description

    A Quiet, Powerful Pump That Runs on Sunlight

    Looking for a simple way to move water without relying on mains electricity? The XDC5000 12V DC Solar Submersible Pump is a compact, brushless pump designed for ponds, fountains, water features, hydroponics and off-grid water circulation.

    Powered by 12V DC, the XDC5000 delivers a maximum flow of 800 litres per hour with a maximum static lift of 5 metres. Connect it to a suitable solar setup for an energy-efficient way to keep water moving using sunlight.

    Its brushless magnetic-drive motor provides quiet, efficient operation with fewer wearing components, making it a practical option for continuous water circulation.

    Technical Specifications

    • Model: XDC5000

    • Maximum Flow Rate: 800L/h

    • Maximum Static Lift: 5m

    • Voltage: 12V DC

    • Motor Power: 27W

    • Current Draw: 2.2A

    • Motor Type: Brushless magnetic drive

    • Impeller Type: Closed mag-drive

    • Inlet / Outlet: 15mm threaded male

    • Minimum Solar Panel Required: 30W

    • Maximum Liquid Temperature: 35°C

    • Suitable for submersible and compatible in-line installation

    Ideal Applications

    The XDC5000 is a versatile little pump that can be used for:

    • Garden ponds – Suitable for koi, goldfish and wildlife pond circulation

    • Water features & fountains – Keep water circulating through garden and patio features

    • Hydroponics – Suitable for compatible nutrient and water circulation systems

    • Water transfer – Move clean, non-corrosive liquids within the pump's operating limits

    • Off-grid applications – Useful where mains electricity isn't readily available

    • Solar water circulation – Pair with a suitable solar power setup for daytime operation

    Why Choose the XDC5000?

    • 12V DC operation – Ideal for compatible solar and low-voltage systems

    • 800L/h maximum flow – Compact size with useful water-moving capacity

    • 5m maximum static lift – Suitable for applications that require additional lifting height

    • Brushless mag-drive motor – Quiet, efficient operation

    • 27W motor – Low-power design for smaller solar applications

    • Continuous operation capability – Designed for ongoing circulation when correctly installed

    • Thermal overload protection – Helps protect the pump during operation

    • Submersible or in-line use – Provides flexibility for different installations

    • Compact design – Easy to incorporate into ponds, fountains and water features

    Solar Panel Requirements

    The XDC5000 requires a minimum 30W solar panel.

    Actual pump performance when running directly from solar power will depend on the available sunlight, solar panel output and overall system configuration. For more consistent operation when sunlight changes, the pump can form part of a correctly sized solar system with compatible battery and control equipment.

    Important Installation Note

    Always use a suitable fuse holder when connecting the pump directly to a solar panel. This provides important electrical protection for the pump and solar setup.

    Make sure the pump is installed according to the correct voltage, polarity and operating requirements before switching it on.

    Compact Solar Water Movement

    Whether you're setting up a small pond, adding movement to a garden fountain or building an off-grid water circulation system, the XDC5000 12V DC Solar Submersible Pump gives you a compact and energy-efficient solution.

    With 800L/h maximum flow, a 5m maximum lift and a quiet brushless motor, it's a versatile choice for smaller solar-powered water applications.

    How to choose the right pump

    Pump guide step 1 of 4: Don't choose a pump on litres per hour alone. The higher your pump has to push water, the less water comes out. How high does the water need to travel? Measure straight up from the water surface to the highest point where water comes out. Rule of thumb: choose a pump whose maximum head is at least 1.5x your measured height.

    Pump guide step 2 of 4: How strong should the water flow? Picture the look you want first. That tells you how many litres per hour (L/h) you need. Gentle trickle: lower L/h. Steady flow: medium L/h. Strong waterfall: higher L/h. Wider outlet, more flow needed: a 60 cm waterfall lip needs far more litres per hour than a 10 cm spout.

    Pump guide step 3 of 4: How far does the water travel? Every metre of pipe and every bend slows the water down. Narrow pipes slow it even more. Pump far from the outlet, or lots of bends? Choose a little more pump capacity than you think you need. Make sure your tubing fits: check the pump's outlet size on the product page.

    Pump guide step 4 of 4: Match the pump to your feature. Small tabletop or pot: low flow. Small fountain: flow + head height. Medium water feature: head height + L/h. Wall spout: head height + pipe restriction. Multi-tier fountain: higher head + spare capacity. Waterfall: L/h + waterfall width. Large feature: high L/h + high head.
