Borehole Pumps for Livestock and Farm Water

Animals need water every day, in every season, and many farms rely on a single well. The pump has to be simple, robust and well protected.

A practical set-up

1. Choose the flow from the daily water use and the hours you want the pump to run, then check it against the well yield.
2. Pump into a storage tank, with enough water for at least a day if the pump stops.
3. Fit a float switch or level control in the tank, and dry-run protection in the well.
4. Size the cable for the distance from the panel to the well, which on farms is often long.

Small wells in hill areas

Where the well is narrow and the water is deep, the 4 inch 100QJ pumps give high heads at small flows, for example 3.2 m³/h at up to 230 m. That is often all a hill farm needs, as long as there is a tank to cover the peak demand.

If the water is hard or slightly corrosive, ask for stainless steel parts.
