Bore Pumps

Bore Pumps are used to lift water out of a bore or deep well and transport it to its destination. These pumps are often used for garden irrigation, farm water supply, livestock watering, pressure systems for the home and even large landscape watering.

For those who are dependent on their groundwater, selecting the correct bore pump can ensure good water flow, pressure, and efficiency in irrigation.

The choice of bore pump will depend on the depth of your bore, flow rate, head pressure, pipe size, water usage and power source. If the pump is too small, it will provide insufficient water, but if it is too large, it may not be appropriate.

The most reliable place to start would be the bore log that will determine the depth of the bore, water table, and yield.

Yes, submersible bore pumps are often the preferred option for deeper bores because they operate below the water level and push water up to the surface. This makes them suitable for applications where a surface pump cannot reliably draw water from depth.

Submersible bore pumps are commonly used for clean groundwater applications, irrigation systems and domestic water supply, especially where reliable pressure and long-term performance are important.

Yes, the use of submersible bore pumps is highly recommended in cases where a deeper bore is involved since they run underwater and raise water to the surface. Therefore, they are applicable where a surface pump is not efficient at pulling water from a certain height.

They are mainly applied in clean ground water cases, irrigation systems, and domestic water systems.

Yes, bore pumps could be used in irrigation systems provided that the pump has been sized appropriately according to the requirements of the system. The water can be supplied to sprinklers, drips, gardens, lawns and irrigations in rural areas.

It would be advisable to match the bore pump with the design of the irrigation system. It is essential to evaluate how many zones, sprinkler demand and pressure are needed at the outlets.

We have a wide selection of robust bore pumps from reputable pump manufacturers such as Grundfos, Lowara, Franklin Electric and Pentair. These manufacturers are frequently relied upon in applications where toughness and efficiency are required.
