You’re looking at the Commodore Submersible 1.8-80 Solar pump kit. This is one of the best if not the very best value for money entry pump on the market. Unlike many pumps online this pump is a genuinely high quality featuring high grade 316 stainless steel this makes an enormous difference in getting longevity out of your pump whether it lasts 2 years or 10. With our extensive knowledge of pumps and engineering we’ve developed our own range of pumps with the highest quality components from the bearings to the motor to the screw drive.
This pump can deliver a maximum of 1,800 litres per hour or a maximum total head of 80 metres. To get an accurate indication of how much water you’ll get match your head height up against the table below.\
Please refer to our pump calculator to get your total head & compare to the curve graph for head & flow ranges. On submersible pumps we recommend not exceeding 65% of maximum head height for this pump that is 50m.
| Total Head Pressure (Metres) | Litres Per Hour | Litres Per Day With 2 Panels | Litres Per Day With 1 Panel |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 | 1350 | 8100 | 4860 |
| 20 | 1200 | 7200 | 4320 |
| 30 | 1050 | 6300 | 3780 |
| 40 | 900 | 5400 | 3240 |
| 50 | 460 | 2760 | 1656 |
Premium JA 460w Solar panels
JA are one of the biggest Solar panel manufacturers on the planet there is a reason for that, their quality is top shelf, which is why we match them with our Commodore Solar pumps and Off grid systems. These high watt rated panels feature an excellent 12-year warranty for materials and processing, and a 25-year warranty for linear power output. The panels are measured at the following voltages:
- Power: 460w
- Open Circuit: 50V
- Maximum Power: 42.13V
- Short Circuit Current: 11.45
The difference between Commodore Screw Pumps and Cheaper Submersible Solar Screw Pumps:
- Commodore uses Japanese bearings in all of it’s pumps as we have identified cheaper low grade bearings to be a significant issue in pumps
- Commodore’s submersible solar screw pumps are manufactured with SS316 Steel is a high grade steel and is rated higher than many other pumps using 304 stainless steel, see our attached image for a comparison
- We use a full length motor rotor, RPM 2400 (not 5000 rpm as in low cost product, reduces life expectancy)
- Commodore includes lifetime support on the gear that you purchase from us

- Railing/connectors take all the hard work out of building your own
stand, they connect to the solar panels and bolt straight onto your own
stand - Pressure switch if you’re filling a tank that is some distance from
where you’re pumping from. The switch that comes with the system is wired
whereas there is an option to purchase a mechanic pressure switch that isn’t
wired to the tank. - Pump Float – if you’re using this in a dam or a river then a pump float is a convenient pump mounting option.
