Irrigation and Water Supply Solutions for Farms and Homesteads

Farmers and gardeners in Australia need to manage water resources and irrigation systems due to the regions dry climate. In parts of Western Australia and elsewhere, the precise application of water is vital to a crops success. Pumptastic offers a complete range of irrigation and water supply pumps, including bore and dam pumps as well as irrigation booster pumps.

Bore and Well Pumps

Several farms depend on the use of groundwater. Submersible bore pumps from brands such as Davey and Grundfos extract water from deep wells and bores. For instance, Davey’s specialized borehole pumps come with stainless steel casings which are corrosion resistant and therefore, perfect for salty or sandy Australian aquifers. We also stock Onga and Grundfos bore pumps which are known for their ability to withstand long runs. A common setup involves a bore pump feeding a tank or directly pressurizing irrigation lines.

Surface and Tank Pumps

If you obtain water from a dam, a creek, or a tank, a surface pump is required. Jet or multistage pumps from Onga or Davey can lift water to the pump. In the case of larger volume requirements, multistage pumps ensure a constant flow. In irrigation, flowrate moderation to the number of working sprinklers or drippers is also critical. We assist in pump sizing as per the layout, as in the case of garden sprinklers which needs around 20–30 L/min, while pivot or drip systems require substantially higher volume.

Boosting Pressure

In some regions, the problem of maintaining pressure over long distances or uneven terrain can be quite a challenge. In these cases, booster pumps are useful. A typical farm may have a booster pump and pressure tank at the start of the irrigation line to ensure uniform delivery to all valves. Sometimes these are installed on farms to maintain steady pressure, and are used at houses with CMB Grundfos boosters. These pressure tanks (30-100 L) help avoid pulsating flow, and Pumptastic stocks these along with pump controllers.

Rainwater Harvesting and Tank Pumps

Numerous Australian homesteads harvest rainwater. In order to access it for household purposes or irrigation, a reliable pump will be needed. We supply both submersible and surface pumps that draw from tanks. Davey’s RainBank systems combine filters and UV sterilizers for the ciscernible use of clean tank water. Nonetheless, having a pump with a filter at the very least is a good starting point. We supply pump kits with in-tank filters and external check valves to plumb rainwater safely into reticulation or house supply.

Pumping Accessories for Irrigation

Pumptastic provides valves, hoses, and clamps designed to handle high capacity flows, along with drip fittings, impact sprinklers, and other supplementary items through partnering brands to offer comprehensive solutions to your problems. Such automation controllers need power relays along with solenoid valves, and our team can suggest suitable models to match the automation controllers.

Irrigation Controls and Technology

To save water, contemporary farms commonly utilize drip or micro irrigation systems. These systems need a pump that provides steady flow at modest pressure. To ensure constant delivery, we usually use pressure-compensating drip emitters with our pumps. Pumptastic also stocks fertigation pump kits that use venturis or chemical injectors to inject fertilizer into the water supply. Such systems must use chemically-resistant seals; we have pumps specifically rated for these tasks.
