So your inverter is drawing 12 amps a day even if it isn't being used.
Get rid of the inverter get the timer that runs off 12 volt DC and get a pump that draws the same amount of currant your ac pump is drawing.
This is about 1/10 horsepower.

If you get the solar fence charger that puts out 1.1 amp per hour under optimum solar conditions you will have more than enough to run your system.
This was calculated at a 1.5 amp currant draw that your system would take running for 30 minuets every day.
The solar charger would charge it back up in a little over an hour I kid you not.
I also did the battery calculations for this and the battery requirement is only a 4 amp hour gel cell battery.
If you were to jump up to a 12 amp hour gel cell battery you would would be doing great.
