Garden water / Water pressure pump
Insufficient pressure in my sprinklers
If you want to irrigate your garden, sufficient water and pressure need to be supplied to the sprinkler or multiple sprinklers. With an insufficient supply, water from the sprinklers will be unable to reach far enough and irrigate the entire garden as planned.
Connecting a water pump to an outside tap
Watering a garden with water from an outside tap is usually possible if it involves a small size garden. However, if a longer hose needs to be connected or if multiple sprinklers are to be used at the same time, the amount of water and pressure is often too low. You may wonder whether in that case it would be possible to connect a water pump - for example, a garden pump or booster pump - to an outside tap in order to increase the pressure.
Storing your garden pump during the autumn and winter seasons
After a long, hot, and very dry summer, it is time to store your garden or booster pump. After all, you usually do not need to irrigate your garden during the autumn and winter seasons. We provide information below about how your pump should be stored.
What connecting pieces do I need for my garden pump?
Many of our pumps are supplied with a kit to be used for the suction connection. In principle, you need just one of our suction hoses to pump water and, in most cases, can start immediately. We also offer solutions if longer distances need to be bridged or the pipe is to be placed underground.
What is a garden pump?
A garden pump is one that is used to obtain water from a well, a canal, a lake, or a ditch, and provides high pressure to irrigate a garden or plots of land. The device is fitted with impellers that push the water from the pump under a certain pressure. By means of hoses, this water can be pumped to an impeller, an irrigator, or a sprinkler, which in turn irrigate the soil.
Installation and first time startup of an irrigation / booster pump
After you receive your order, you will want to begin installing the water pump as quickly as possible. Our aim is to help make installing it as easy as possible.
Connecting pipes to self-priming pumps
Not only is an appropriate pump setup essential but also the way it is connected to the pipes. The pipe system has to be checked carefully for a pump to be able to operate optimally. This is where things usually go wrong, but this can be avoided by paying close attention to a system's actual pipe diameters. Although this usually requires a greater time investment, you will benefit from it in the long term.
Suction problems with garden or booster pumps
We frequently hear that self-priming pumps (e.g. garden and booster pumps) have difficulty drawing in water. In most instances, it involves water that needs to be pumped from wells or boreholes that are several metres deep. Although people often think it is a mechanical problem, in 99% of the cases the cause of the problem may be much simpler.
Spray/irrigate the garden? Read here what pump you need.
Summer's slowly approaching, with plenty of sunshine and little rain. People love the summer, but our gardens have a very different opinion. During this period, the grass and plants in your garden require a lot of water and a simple watering can is often not enough to keep up. The decision to buy a sprinkler is therefore very simple, but how exactly do you supply this sprinkler with water?
Increasing water pressure in the house. Which pumps are suitable?
Are you installing an additional washbasin, a shower, or a washing machine, or does your tap/shower not supply enough water? In older houses, the water pressure is usually quite low and often needs to be boosted. But which water pumps are suitable for this?
