Farm & Irrigation Pumps

 

Reliable water delivery is critical for farming operations, irrigation systems, and rural properties. Whether supplying stock water, operating pivot or sprinkler systems, transferring water between storage facilities, or delivering water across large areas, selecting the right pump system is essential for efficiency and long-term performance.

At WTS, we provide farm and irrigation pumping solutions designed to meet the demands of New Zealand agricultural and rural environments. From pump supply through to professional installation and ongoing maintenance, we can support the complete lifecycle of your system.

 

Farm & Irrigation Pump Applications

Pump systems are used across a wide range of agricultural and rural applications, including:

• Irrigation systems

• Centre pivots and laterals

• Travelling irrigators

• Stock water systems

• Tank and reservoir transfer

• Bore and groundwater systems

• Effluent and water movement systems

• Orchard and horticultural irrigation

• Rural water supply systems

Every site has unique requirements, and correct system design can significantly improve efficiency, water delivery, and operating costs.

 

Types of Farm & Irrigation Pumps

Centrifugal Pumps

Centrifugal pumps are commonly used for moving large volumes of water efficiently across irrigation systems and farm applications.

Typical uses include:

• Irrigation supply

• Water transfer

• Storage tank systems

• General farm water movement

 

Multistage Pumps

Multistage pumps deliver higher pressures while maintaining efficient flow rates.

Ideal for:

• High-pressure irrigation systems

• Long-distance pumping

• Large-scale water distribution systems

 

Submersible Pumps

Submersible pumps operate below the water surface and are commonly used for:

• Bore systems

• Wells

• Deep water sources

• Reservoir supply

 

Booster & Pressure Systems

Pressure systems maintain stable water pressure across irrigation networks and farm infrastructure.

Suitable for:

• Irrigation zones

• Rural water supply

• Stock water reticulation systems

 

Choosing the Right Pump System

Selecting the right system depends on several key factors:

Water source

• Surface water

• Tanks and reservoirs

• Bore water

• Rivers and storage systems

Flow requirements

• Irrigation demand

• Number of outlets

• Water volume requirements

Pressure requirements

• Distance and elevation changes

• Irrigation equipment specifications

• Required operating pressure

Site conditions

• Pipe sizing

• Power supply

• Pump location

• Future expansion requirements

Correct pump sizing and design can reduce power consumption, improve performance, and increase system reliability.
