Thanks Jay ! I have project where I want to install a pump in a tank for remote watering. If the LCB is used, have you ever tried using a small ATV 12V AGM to allow the pump to run in wildfire smoke or at night? Just a switch to parallel the the LCB?
Anyone tried this? There are a bunch of LCB's on amazon also.

Here is a ebay link showing many of the new probably Chinese (not saying they are bad) but they are way less expensive than the US versions. https://www.ebay.com/i/293234996712?chn=ps [3] I expect if you shop AliExpress you'll find these exact items.

Probably an RV water pump? And an LCB should work. Who makes a good LCB for this Jay?

Are these positive displacement, and if so then an LCB is what you need. Jay On Aug 2, 2020, at 6:26 AM, John wrote: Where can you find some small maximisers/optimisers for a solar-only pump. This would be for a surface pump like the Flojet 11, 12 or 17 litre/min pumps. They tend to keep the pump operating when a cloud goes over or in low-light conditions. I think they are available for the 9325 but its probably over-kill for the Flojets.
