Active solar hot water systems require a circulation pump, and depending on the system format may also include a flow meter, temperature gauges, air separator, fill and drain valves and other components. Pump stations incorporate all these components into a pre-engineered packaged system, improving reliability and greatly simplifying the installation process.
Apricus offers pump stations for direct, indirect and drain back systems.

The Apricus Direct Flow Pump Station (DFPS) is designed to be used in residential solar thermal systems where the installation site does not normally see freezing temperatures and potable water circulates through the collector(s). All components needed for the solar pumping center are included to streamline the installation process. Key Features 3/4" copper with quick connect fittings Pre-plumbed and pre-wired Integrated flow setter Large temperature and pressure gauge Flanged, stainless steel circulator Pressure relief valve Power outage drip valve Advanced solar controller Insulated EPP cover Pressure tested in factory Please note this pump station is available in North America only. | |
The Apricus Closed Loop Pump Station (CLPS) is designed to be used in residential solar thermal systems. All components were designed to streamline the installation process. Key Features 3/4" copper with quick connect fittings Pre-plumbed and pre-wired Integrated flow setter Automatic air vent Expansion tank and connection kit Large temperature and pressure gauge Flanged circulator Differential controller Insulated EPP cover Please note this pump station is only available in North America. |

The commercial pump station can be used in situations where the closed loop system has higher head and flow requirements. This pump station can be used with up to 10 x AP-30 collectors (2 banks of 5 AP-30). Actual number of collectors may vary depending on flow rates, system components, etc. Please contact your local Apricus representative for information on sizing. Key Features Fully assembled closed loop pump station Pre-plumbed and pre-wired Standard 1" copper pipe sized connections Air separator and automatic air vent Combined temperature and pressure gauge Flanged circulator Please note this pump station is only available in North America. |
