What size pump do I need for my bore?

By South West Tech

The right bore pump size depends on how much water you need, the depth of the bore, the pumping distance and the pressure required. There isn't a one-size-fits-all solution, and choosing the wrong pump can lead to poor performance, higher running costs and unnecessary wear on the system.

To correctly size a bore pump, factors such as the bore's water level, tested yield, daily water demand and the height the water needs to be pumped all need to be considered. A household supplying taps and showers will have different requirements to a system used for livestock watering, irrigation or filling storage tanks.

A properly sized pump will deliver reliable water pressure, efficient operation and a longer service life without placing unnecessary strain on the bore or using more power than needed. Whether you're installing a mains-powered or solar-powered bore pump, South West Tech can assess your property's requirements and recommend a system that's designed to provide reliable performance for years to come.
