I built one with a boat bilge pump a tractor battery and a solar panel
Worked fine for short cycles
No marine battery required

Nope, and nope. I bought the XL ones. If you look at the item description below, where I highlighted the text at the bottom, you can clearly see that they are advertised as emitting 125ml per day. Not sure how you got 8X the rated output from yours.

Wouldn’t this work or do you not have a water source that close by. Either way this has me thinking of how I can grow pot in the woods and automate watering with solar! If I just had a reliable water source I could high jack.

By the time you add a battery for the overkill pump it isn’t that inexpensive
But I haven’t really priced out a system in a few years so maybe…

You can get a 100ah marine battery for around $60 at auto zone. For what he is trying to achieve its not really that costly.
