CDL(F) Pumps for Sprinkler and Drip Irrigation

Pressurised irrigation needs more than water: the sprinklers or drippers need a set pressure to work. A vertical multistage pump gives that pressure in a small unit that installs in line with the main.

Sizing

• Flow: the number of emitters or sprinklers running at once, times their flow
• Pressure: what the emitters need, plus filter and pipe losses, plus any rise in ground level
• Water source: the CDL(F) is not self-priming, so feed it from a tank or a flooded suction

An example

A drip zone needs 12 m³/h at 50 m in total. The CDL(F) 12-50 gives 50 m at 12 m³/h with a 3 kW motor.

Water quality

The CDL(F) is built for clean water without solids or fibres. River and pond water must be filtered before the pump, not only before the drippers.
