Mac,
That helps. My best suggestion would be a Dankoff Solar Slowpump.
The SunCentric solar centrifugal would be ideal if the volume of
water desired was greater. Mount the pump close to and above the
highest pond surface level, and use the optional 30" filter and foot
valve package. Pick a model and module size to match his desired
GPD. You can add an LCB but it's not necessary, given the current
low cost of just oversizing the module. Specs on the Slowpump are at
http://dankoff-pumps.com/dp/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/slowpump1129.pdf,
or via http://dankoff-pumps.com/dp/?page_id=6. This pump is for
summer use only, as it's not freeze-tolerant. Simple, long-lasting,
reliable, rebuildable, domestic, proven.

Hi Wrenches,
Let me be a little more specific about this site.
Potential client has a pond that he would like to move water
to his garden. This pond is about 10 vetical ft below his
garden, and the garden is about 200' horizontal ' away. He
has a little shack about 20' from the pond that we will mount
the solar. He would like to flood irrigate slowly throughout
the day and just move a flexible hose around. As far as
budget, client hasn't been real specific. I have looked at
the Shurflow 9300 but was hoping for something that would
operate at a higher flowrate in exchange for not having the
high head capability (and perhaps less expensive). It does
need to be PV direct capable.
Thanks

Hi Mac;
I would be looking at something like the Shurflo 2088 series
and a
Linear Current Booster, with a check valve on the intake if
you can't
mount the pump below the water level. 75-100 watts of PV
should
perform just fine with that.
