Submersible 12v Water Pump

Only 57 watts | Can pump water over 20 ft. above the water level | Can run off a solar panel without batteries if used with a DC-to-DC Converter

Submersible Water Pump Adapter

The type of adapter you need to go from a 1/2" threaded submersible water pump to your garden hose. (3/4 Male Hose ID x 1/2 Female Pipe). You can get a cheaper PVC version of this at your local hardware store.

Small Submersible 12v Water Pump

We use this low power 12v water pump to lift water above the ceiling for our showers. It doesn't move much water at a time but it only uses about 14 watts and can lift it over 8 feet.

Black Berkey Water Filters

These are the tried and true water filter for off-grid living. We have four of these in our homemade Berkey water filter system.

3/4″ Uniseal

Uniseals work great when you need to run PVC pipe through a 55 gallon drum or larger water tank.

White Ceramic Water Filters (w/silver)

We use these as a sediment filter in our homemade Berkey water filter. They are fairly easy to clean and make it so we have to clean the Black Berkey filters much less.

USB Light

This handy light works well if you have to work on a laptop after dark... it lights up Stewart's office directly from one of his extra USB ports.

1000 Watt Pure Sine Wave Inverter

We've had good success with this inverter running our off-grid fridge/freezer so far. It makes it through the hot Texas days.

175 Watt Modified Sine Wave Inverter

Go Power! makes an excellent modified sine wave inverter. This one is small but works great for the car or small solar system where all you need to do is charge power tools. They also make a full range of larger inverters.

Temperature Controlled Outlet

A temperature controlled outlet for converting a chest freezer into a highly efficient refrigerator.

Low Power 12v Fan

This fan uses around 5 watts on high. A little less on low. It can be wired directly into a 12v system or you can run it off your inverter. You can get it at Walmart instead of Amazon.com and save maybe $10.

100 Ah AGM Lead Acid Deep Cycle Battery

We've used Universal Battery for our solar system for several years. These are fairly inexpensive for AGM lead acid batteries.

200 Ah AGM Lead Acid Deep Cycle Battery

We've used two of these connected in parallel to power our solar system for several years.

Various 12v Power System Pieces

Chicken Hawk Protection

We use this netting to cover an area where we raise meat chickens. Works great for keeping hawks out.
