While often used interchangeably, bore pumps and well pumps serve the primary function of moving subterranean water to the surface. The key is selecting the right pump for your specific installation and water demand. Our range covers everything from compact units for domestic use to heavy-duty systems for large-scale agricultural needs.
The most common and efficient solution for deep wells is the submersible pump. As the name suggests, these pumps are fully submerged within the well or bore casing, directly in the water source. This design is highly effective because it pushes water to the surface rather than pulling it, requiring less energy and enabling greater depth.
Our submersible well pumps and submersible bore pumps are built from durable, corrosion-resistant materials to withstand the harsh underground environment. They are known for their quiet operation, reliability, and low maintenance requirements, making them an excellent investment for long-term water security.
We provide pumping solutions for a diverse range of applications, backed by our extensive industry knowledge and commitment to customer-focused outcomes.
For homeowners relying on bore water, a dependable pump is not a luxury—it’s essential. Our selection of bore water pumps for home use is designed to provide consistent water pressure for all household needs, from drinking and cooking to bathing and garden irrigation. We help you choose a system that integrates seamlessly with your property’s plumbing and any existing water treatment systems, ensuring a steady supply of clean water.
The demands of modern agriculture require robust and powerful water solutions. Our agricultural bore pumps are engineered to handle the high-volume requirements of farm operations, including crop irrigation, livestock watering, and general property maintenance. We understand that water is a critical asset in agriculture, and our pumps are selected for their durability, efficiency, and capacity to perform in demanding conditions.
Harnessing solar power provides a sustainable, cost-effective way to pump water, especially in remote locations where access to the power grid is limited or unreliable. Our solar bore pumps are an increasingly popular choice for both agricultural and domestic users looking to reduce operational costs and environmental impact. These systems use photovoltaic (PV) panels to power the pump, providing an autonomous, reliable water supply solution that operates efficiently even in off-grid settings.
For wells with a shallow water table (typically less than 8 metres), shallow-well jet pumps offer a reliable, cost-effective solution. Unlike submersible pumps, jet pumps are installed at the surface and draw water up through suction. They are easier to maintain and an excellent choice for smaller domestic applications, garden watering, and pressure boosting systems. Our team can assess your well’s depth and recommend the most suitable jet pump to meet your needs.
A truly effective water system is more than just a pump. We offer a comprehensive range of accessories to complete your installation and ensure optimal performance. Our inventory includes:
Our commitment is to provide a complete, engineered solution. By combining top-tier pumps with the right accessories, we ensure your system is not only functional but also efficient, safe, and built to last.
The best pump for your needs is determined by a thorough assessment of your specific requirements. For shallow water sources up to 7 metres deep, a centrifugal or jet pump may be appropriate.
Submersible pumps are ideal for deeper bores, as they are designed to operate efficiently underwater and can handle higher pressure and flow rates.
Additionally, consider the application—irrigation systems might demand pumps with high flow rates, while domestic use typically requires consistent, moderate pressure. Consulting with a qualified pump supplier ensures you select a solution tailored to your water source and intended use.
The lifespan of a bore or well pump can vary depending on factors such as the type of pump, the quality of materials used, the operating conditions, and how well the pump is maintained. Submersible pumps, which are common for bore and well applications, typically last 8 to 15 years, while jet pumps typically last around 10 years.
Regular maintenance, such as checking for wear, ensuring the system is free of debris, and addressing issues promptly, is essential to maximise the pump’s longevity. Additionally, operating the pump within its designed performance limits can prevent unnecessary strain and prolong its service life.
To determine the correct pump size, start by calculating your total water demand, including the flow rate required and the volume of water to be moved over a specific period.
Next, consider the distance the water must travel, including both horizontal and vertical distances, as this will affect the total dynamic head (TDH) required to overcome friction losses and elevation gain.
Finally, assess the discharge pressure requirements and ensure the pump’s performance curve matches them. Consulting with a Dowdens professional or using pump sizing tools can further refine your selection, ensuring optimal performance and efficiency for your system.
Yes, specific maintenance requirements are crucial for ensuring the longevity and efficiency of your pump. Regular tasks should include inspecting and cleaning filters to prevent blockages, monitoring and adjusting pressure settings as needed, and conducting routine checks for signs of wear or damage on components such as seals, bearings, and impellers. Lubricating moving parts and verifying alignment are also important to avoid unnecessary strain on the system.
Additionally, it’s recommended to maintain a consistent maintenance schedule and consult with a Dowdens professional for comprehensive servicing, particularly for complex or high-use systems. Proactive maintenance reduces downtime and enhances the pump’s overall reliability.
Bore and well pumps are designed to handle variations in water quality to a certain extent; however, their performance and longevity can be significantly impacted by factors such as sediment levels, mineral content, and corrosive elements in the water. High-quality bore and well pumps generally include features like corrosion-resistant materials and sediment-handling capabilities to accommodate these variations.
To ensure optimal functionality and durability, select a pump suitable for your site’s water conditions and regularly inspect and maintain it. For more complex scenarios or to address significant water quality challenges, consulting with a Dowdens professional can provide tailored solutions and expert guidance.
