Water Pump

The OGLAS Water Pump controller starts and stops a pump on the conditions you set — a tank dropping, a trough low, solar surplus available — and, crucially, confirms the pump actually ran by measuring its current. It’s the Smart Switch tuned for the one job that matters most on a dry site.

What it does

• Drives the pump on a rule — start when a tank or trough drops below a threshold; stop when it’s full. Combine with solar surplus so the pump runs when there’s sun to spare.
• Confirms it ran — current sensing tells you the motor actually drew power, not that a relay merely clicked. “Pump on, no current” is a real failure you’ll hear about.
• Dry-run protection — no flow or a current signature that says the pump is cavitating? Shut it down before it burns out.
• Logs every cycle — run time, current, and starts-per-day to your hub, so a pump heading for failure shows up as a trend.

Pairs well with

• Tank level and Water Trough — the level that drives the pump.
• Water Flow & Pressure — confirms water is actually moving, not just that the motor spun.
• Power Management — run on solar surplus instead of grid or generator.
• Bell — a failed pump rings the homestead.
