Best for
  • 🌾 Farm irrigation
  • 🐄 Livestock watering
  • 🚰 Filling elevated tanks
  • 🏡 Rural household water supply
  • 🌍 Remote water projects
  • 🌱 Garden irrigation
  • 💧 Borehole and well pumping

The Aico Japan ACDC24V/I-40-3-0.4-1 Solar Submersible Pump is a compact 24V DC borehole and well pump designed for solar-powered water pumping, livestock watering, irrigation, tank filling and off-grid water supply.

With a 400W motor, maximum head of 60 metres and maximum flow of 3.0m³/h, it is suitable for homes, farms and remote installations where dependable water pumping is needed without relying on grid electricity.

💧 Key Features

  • ☀️ Solar submersible pump
  • 🔋 24V DC operation
  • ⚡ 400W motor
  • 📏 Maximum head: 60 metres
  • 💧 Maximum flow: 3.0m³/h
  • 🚰 Equivalent to approximately 3000L/h
  • 🔩 25mm outlet
  • 🔧 Current draw of approximately 17A
  • 🌾 Suitable for irrigation and livestock watering
  • 🚰 Ideal for boreholes, wells and tank filling
  • 🌍 Suitable for off-grid water systems
  • 🧱 Stainless-steel pump body
  • ⚠️ Designed for submerged operation

☀️ Solar-Powered Water Pumping

This pump is ideal for locations where grid electricity is unavailable or expensive.

Typical solar-powered applications include:

  • 🌾 Farm irrigation
  • 🐄 Livestock watering
  • 🚰 Filling elevated tanks
  • 🏡 Rural household water supply
  • 🌍 Remote water projects
  • 🌱 Garden irrigation
  • 💧 Borehole and well pumping

A properly sized 24V solar power system or compatible controller is required for reliable operation.

📏 60-Metre Maximum Head

The pump is rated for a maximum head of 60 metres, making it suitable for relatively deep water lifting and elevated tank filling.

Actual water delivery will reduce as total pumping head increases.

Total head should account for:

  • Vertical lift
  • Pipe length
  • Pipe friction
  • Fittings and bends
  • Height of the storage tank

💦 3.0m³/h Flow Rate

At suitable operating conditions, the pump can deliver up to 3 cubic metres per hour, equivalent to around 3000 litres per hour.

This makes it suitable for moderate agricultural, household and livestock-water applications.

✅ Benefits

  • Runs directly from a 24V DC system
  • Suitable for solar installations
  • Low 400W power requirement
  • Strong 60m head capability
  • Up to 3000L/h water delivery
