The Outback Scout DC 3" Shallow Bore Solar Pump Kit is a compact and efficient solar-powered pumping system designed specifically for shallow bores, low-yield wells, and remote off-grid water supply. Engineered for Australian conditions, the Scout pump operates directly from solar power without batteries or inverters, delivering dependable water supply with minimal maintenance.
At the heart of the system is a high-efficiency 300W brushless DC submersible pump paired with an intelligent MPPT solar pump controller that maximises water output throughout the day as sunlight conditions change. The pump features a helical rotor design, providing strong pressure performance ideal for lifting water from shallow sources and transferring it to tanks, troughs, or irrigation systems.
Each kit includes a high-output 450W solar panel, stainless steel check valve, submersible pump cable, and low-level bore probe, providing installers with a practical and reliable off-grid water solution. Built with 304 stainless steel construction and water-filled motor cooling, the Outback Scout is designed for long service life in demanding rural environments.
