The greenhouse and garden irrigation setup
Dankoff positive-displacement pumps draw from rainwater harvesting cisterns or ponds, maintaining steady regulated pressure across drip emitters and misting headers.
FlowLight Booster Pump
Compact, highly efficient booster pump delivering up to 65 PSI for micro-drip networks.
SlowPump Surface Pump
Continuous low-draw surface pump for transferring rainwater from catchment tanks to overhead storage.
Find Your Pump
Size your pump based on emitter count, drip zone flow rates, and tank elevations.
Solar greenhouse pumping vs. gravity barrels
| Evaluation Factor | Dankoff Pressurized Solar | Gravity Feed Barrels |
|---|---|---|
| Emitter uniformity | Uniform pressure across entire line (no clogged emitters) | Uneven flow; drops off significantly at end of row |
| Filtration capability | Pushes through 120-mesh disk and screen filters | Cannot push through fine irrigation filters |
| Automation | Auto pressure-switch on demand | Manual valves and inconsistent head pressure |
| Durability | 15-20 years with regular maintenance | Plastic gravity fittings prone to cracking |
Data verified from sustainable greenhouse engineering specifications.
“The FlowLight Booster gives our commercial nursery exact, repeatable drip pressure without needing an expensive electrical hookup.”

Common Questions & Technical Answers
Direct engineering answers to the sizing, installation, and field reliability questions we receive daily from ranchers and solar installers.
Have an unlisted question or complex site?
Our engineers in Santa Fe, NM and Frederick, OK calculate total dynamic head and friction loss for your exact setup.
+1 505-471-346901Can the pump handle fine drip irrigation filtration?
Yes. Unlike gravity feed systems that choke on filters, Dankoff booster pumps produce 40–60 PSI of head to push through fine disk and screen filters reliably.
02Can I connect this to automated 12V irrigation timers?
Yes. Dankoff DC pumps integrate directly with standard 12V/24V solar irrigation controllers and solenoid zone valves.
