Well & Bore Pumps
Well and bore pump systems provide a dependable water source for homes, farms, lifestyle properties and commercial applications where groundwater access is available. Selecting the correct bore pumping system is important for ensuring consistent water supply, maintaining efficiency, and protecting the long-term performance of your equipment.
At WTS, we supply well and bore pump solutions designed for reliable operation in a wide range of applications, from domestic water systems through to agricultural and large-scale irrigation requirements.
What Are Well & Bore Pumps?
Well and bore pumps are designed to extract groundwater from below the surface and deliver it to where it is needed. These systems are commonly used where mains water is unavailable or where an independent water source is required.
Typical applications include:
-
Household water supply
-
Rural and lifestyle properties
-
Farm water systems
-
Irrigation supply
-
Stock water systems
-
Commercial water supply
-
Tank filling and storage systems
Because bore depth, water yield and demand requirements can vary significantly, choosing the right pump configuration is essential.
Types of Well & Bore Pumps
Submersible Bore Pumps
Submersible pumps are the most common solution for bore systems. They operate underwater within the bore itself and are designed to push water efficiently to the surface.
Common uses include:
-
Deep bores
-
Household supply systems
-
Farm water systems
-
Irrigation applications
-
High-demand water supply
Benefits include:
✓ Quiet operation
✓ Reliable performance
✓ Higher pumping efficiency
✓ Reduced risk of priming issues
Surface Pumps
Surface-mounted pumps may be suitable for shallow wells or applications where the water source is closer to ground level.
Typical uses include:
-
Shallow wells
-
Tank systems
-
Water transfer applications
Pressure & Booster Systems
Pressure systems work alongside bore pumps to maintain consistent water delivery and pressure throughout homes, farms and irrigation networks.
Ideal for:
-
Household supply
-
Irrigation systems
-
Multi-outlet installations
-
Rural reticulation systems
Choosing the Right Bore Pump System
Several factors influence the selection of the correct system:
Bore depth
-
Shallow versus deep installations
-
Pump lift requirements
Water demand
-
Household use
-
Irrigation demand
-
Farm requirements
-
Future expansion
Flow and pressure requirements
-
Number of outlets
-
Required delivery pressure
-
System layout
Water quality
-
Sand content
-
Mineral levels
-
Water characteristics
Correct sizing is important. An undersized pump may struggle to meet demand, while an oversized system can increase operating costs and place unnecessary stress on equipment.
