Need help with set up of automated electric pump to run off batteries and a solar panel.Here's what I'm thinkin- 12v dc pump ( bilge pump maybe), 12v dc marine grade batt. to run pump, 12v dc solar panel to charge batt., and some sort of timer to operate the pump( something like a deer feeder timer but with a lil longer run time. I'm pumping water a short distance over flat ground. I think a lil setup like this running for one hour or so a night would meet my needs. I am watering apprx. 600sq./ft. Would I be better off with a gas pump? I've never irrigated before and need some input on the most effecient and cost effective way to do so. I'm a guerilla on a budget!
