[br]I have a big drum collecting water from rain and I have a small orchard where I have vegetables and spices.
We have two 165W solar panels connected to 6 batteries and we use it to power our outside lights, our garage, to power the lawnmower and also as a back up in case of hurricanes.
I had our orchard being watered by our normal sprinkler system when I realized we could use our small solar system to to that and also save water.
I bought some 5mm tubing at Home Depot and a pack of plastic T splitters to interconnect the tubing. I bought a 12V DC windshield washer pump at an auto parts discount and a 12V DC Timer from Brazix model BRX1224PTS1
I now have the rain water being used to water the orchard and I can set this timer to up to 6 events daily.
I have the timer turning the pump ON from 6:00AM to 6:25AM,  from 11:00AM to 11:15AM,  from 3:00PM to 3:15PM and  from 6:00PM to 6:25PM.
Here in Miami is too hot this time of the year and the plants really like the 4 times/day shower.

grenoble	Posted - 10/18/2011 : 20:21:15 Hi RainTracker The 12 V DC pump draws 2.5 Amps. I don't know the brand because it does not have it printed on the pump housing. Just go to a discount auto part store and ask for a windshield pump.

Also, do you have the part number and where exactly did you buy it? Thanks in advance

pati1975	Posted - 02/22/2010 : 19:32:06 Hello, Thank you for the info you sent us. I just came across a coupon for the website you mentioned that sells the 12V DC Timer Brazix model BRX1224PTS1 and I bought two of them The coupon is for $10.00 for purchases over $100.00 (not counting shipping and taxes). The coupon is brzcp001 and you enter it after filling the credit card information.
grenoble	Posted - 02/22/2010 : 19:31:18 Hello Keith Yes, it will. Just make sure the pump doesn't use more than 15A.
Keith Norton	Posted - 02/22/2010 : 19:30:36 Hi Grenoble, Will the BRX1224PTS1 work with a heavy duty 12v deep cycle marine battery and a small 12v centrifugal pump?
