SUSTAINABLE IRRIGATION AND LANDSCAPE LIGHTING SOLUTIONS
Turborain was originally designed to attach to rain barrels to move collected rain water to Micro-drip irrigation systems. The idea was to conserve water by delivering rain water precisely to the plants, not the weeds or the ground and do it all with solar power and removing it from the grid. This created the perfect, sustainable system capable of moving anywhere there is water to be moved.
Case dimensions: Length 18”, Width 11”, Height 12”. Case weight 21 lbs., solar panel 8 lbs. Shipping: 2 boxes weighing 31 lbs total. Case features easy access top control panel with lockable main electrical compartment.
The unit comes standard with a 3.3 Gal/min diaphragm pump, 18 Amp hour sealed lead acid battery, 20 Watt solar panel with 10’ wire and connector, a filter kit with connection fittings for connecting pump to storage tank or open water source and a 3 amp charge control standard that protects the battery from over charging.
There are three versions available. Turborain may be ordered as:
Manual unit with a manual on off switch and a trickle charger for charging.
Semi-automatic with a 30 minute manual timer and solar recharging.
Automatic with a fully automatic timer with 17 programmable cycles per day and solar recharging.
Only Turborain semi-automatic and automatic units may be ordered with optional accessories to improve or extend performance. The Turborain manual unit may be upgraded to a solar panel only. Availability options depend on the version ordered.

Automatic Version
26 amp hour battery: Increases run time of pump, with greater capacity to capture solar power when sun is out.
Float switch: Allows pump to run only when water is present in holding tank, saves battery power by not running pump when dry.
4.5 Gal/min pump: Extra heavy duty diaphragm pump for longer runs or extended coverage.
Rain sensor: Prevents pump from running during periods of rain and protects pump from operating in near freezing temperatures.
Trickle charger: 1.8 Amp. Charges battery when the sun is not available to charge solar panel. Good for off season storage.
Dual accessory port: Allows for more that one optional accessory, float switch and rain / freeze sensor.
20 Watt solar panel: Additional panels may be added to capture more solar power for longer pump run times. Includes 10 ft of wire and connector.

This created the perfect, sustainable system capable of moving anywhere there is water to be moved.
With the evolution of the product and customer innovation, Turborain has expanded it's applicability to just about any condition where you have stored water that needs to be moved and distributed.
We have customers watering living walls, municipalities reducing work flow by placing storage tanks in impossible to get to locations to support automatic watering. We have customers automatically watering chickens and gardeners pulling from nearby lakes, streams and ponds.
Turboglow utilizes the same core technology as the Turborain unit. The solar panel charges the internal battery but instead of pumping collected water, it powers LED landscape lighting.
Unlike the underpowered all-in-one solar light stakes sold everywhere, Turboglow is a robust system that can be modified to match lighting needs with long lasting professional results.
Any commercially available landscape light with a wedge bulb can easily be converted over to the Turboglow 12 volt system and a wedge based LED bulb.
