Garden Watering / Water Supply from a well, borehole or tank

With the advent of water meters, many people are looking at the possibilities of using water from a well on their property, as a way of saving money. If you live in an area with a hosepipe ban you may now want to start using that well on your property that you've previously ignored. For others who may live a long way from the nearest water main, extracting water from a borehole or filling a tank from a stream or well is the only way to supply water for their house or farm. For all of these applications, a pump is required.

For small gardens, using 1/2" garden hose, you should consider the TOPMULTI submersible water pump or DIVER 75 borehole water pump. For watering large areas ( requiring bigger flow rates) or for pumping long distances or higher heads, consider the SUMO submersible borehole water pump range.

In order to correctly size a pump for you, you will need to gather some information for us – it is important that your measurements are accurate (please don’t guess!)
Please tell us the following:

Are you replacing an existing worn out pump? If yes please provide make, model, voltage, flow-rate & head (these are all usually found on the nameplate on the top or side of the motor.)
If you have a borehole or a well, what is its diameter and depth?
Is there any existing pipe-work? What size is the internal diameter of the pipe?
How far is it from the well/tank/borehole to the house?
Is the ground flat or does it rise between the water source and the house? If the ground rises, what is the difference in height between the water source and the house?
What do you want the pump to do? Eg fill a tank, irrigate a garden, pressurise a whole house etc
Do you have an electrical supply near to where the pump will be ?
Do you know anything about the water quality?

It is much easier for us to best help you if we can talk things through on the phone, so please call us on 0845 130 3300

With all of this information, we should then be able to suggest a suitable pump.
