Day or night, Rain or shine.The water pumps that keep your farm running!

When it comes to irrigation, choosing the right pump is crucial. Today, we’re looking at two powerful options: the electrical booster pump and the submersible pump. Each has its strengths, and of course, a few quirks that make them unique.

Electrical Booster Pump – The Hustler of the Farm

This pump is like that energetic farmhand who always seems to be running around making things happen. You can use it to boost pressure for your irrigation system, but it can also suck water from a source not more than 5 meters deep. It mostly has a head (straight height) of around 30 meters, making it perfect for moderate elevation needs.

When purchasing a booster pump, consider these key factors:

Phases: Single-phase or three-phase, depending on your power supply.

Pipe Size: Check the inlet and outlet sizes to match your system.

Horsepower & Kilowatts: More power means more performance, but also more energy consumption.

Booster pump/ pedrol

The machine I installed today has a 30m head, 2kW power, single-phase operation, and a 3-inch inlet/outlet feeding 4 rainhoses 50m leght and 150m from the pump . However, it doesn’t work well in very hilly areas. Also, it comes with a small 2.5mm² cable ,upgrade it to a 4mm² cable to avoid resistance or voltage drop.

Submersible Pump – The Silent Warrior

Submersible pump since 2019 to-date still working perfectly

If the booster pump is the hustler, the submersible pump is the silent warrior ,it just gets the job done without drama. It’s perfect for deep water sources, and I can vouch(support) for it personally. I’ve had one since 2019, and it’s still going strong. A few years ago, I used it in a farm over 1km away from the main water source, running with a 2-inch pipe, 59m head, and 2.2kW single-phase operation. No complaints, just reliable performance!

These pumps are my choice since you can still work at night as they don’t depend on solar power, and they are reliable even during cold seasons. So, whether you need a workhorse for pressure boosting or a reliable deep-water solution, these two pumps have got you covered. Just remember to choose wisely based on your farm’s needs, and don’t skip on proper wiring ,it makes all the difference!

most submersibles are more efficient per liter compared to the hustler.
 
Ken the Farmer, this is for electricity.
Some of us are in areas that are not yet supplied with electricity. I humbly request you do also solar pumps and generators. Thank you in advance

Noted. Previously I wrote about petrol and diesel. Due to public demand I will write about solar powered pumps. Thank you.
