Water Pumps for Homes, Rural Properties & Irrigation

The right water pump needs to deliver the required flow and pressure for your particular system. Whether you are supplying a home from a water tank, transferring water on a rural property, running irrigation or dealing with drainage and wastewater, pump selection should be based on the actual application and system requirements.

At WTS, we supply a range of water pumps for domestic, rural, agricultural and commercial applications throughout New Zealand.

Water pumps for different applications

Our range includes:

• Domestic pressure pumps for homes, lifestyle properties and water tank supplies
• Multistage pumps for applications requiring higher pressure and efficient water delivery
• Jet pumps for self-priming applications and drawing water from suitable shallow sources
• Submersible pumps for water tanks, wells, water transfer and pressure systems
• Irrigation pumps for garden, landscape, agricultural and larger irrigation systems
• Drainage and sump pumps for moving clean or dirty water
• Effluent and wastewater pumps for applications involving grey water, sewage and suspended solids
• Pump controllers and pressure control equipment for automatic and reliable pump operation

Our range includes pumps from established manufacturers including DAB, Davies, Davey, Bianco and Trevoli.

How do you choose the right water pump?

Pump selection is about more than maximum flow rate or motor size. The pump needs to provide the required flow at the required pressure, taking into account factors such as:

• Water source
• Required flow rate
• Required operating pressure
• Vertical lift and total head
• Pipe length and diameter
• Friction losses
• Filters, valves and fittings
• Irrigation equipment or other end-use requirements

For more complex systems, particularly irrigation, rural water supply and larger commercial applications, correct pump selection should be based on the calculated system duty rather than simply choosing the largest pump available.
