Start the choice guide

Garden water pumps: ideal for large gardens and irrigation systems

If you have a large garden with lots of grass or flower beds, a garden water pump is the best choice. These pumps are specially designed to deliver high pumping capacity, meaning they are capable of distributing large volumes of water quickly and evenly over a large area.

Garden water pumps are perfect for systems working with sprays or sprinklers

When to choose a garden water pump:

  • If your garden has a large area, such as a lawn or a large vegetable garden.

  • If you want to use multiple sprays or an irrigation system for even water distribution.

  • Ideal for watering large areas quickly. This ensures water soaks through properly without standing.

Maximum suction depth: up to 8 metres.

Water pressure pumps: for conditions with high water requirements and insufficient pressure

Water pressure pumps are used for situations where the water pressure in your garden needs to be increased. This may be necessary for gardens with a larger number of watering systems that require a lot of water, such as for gardens with a combination of sprinklers and drip systems or an automatic watering system.

These pumps ensure that water is transported to different parts of the garden at the right pressure, so the system works efficiently and consistently.

When to choose a water pressure pump:

  • If you have a garden with high water consumption, for example due to multiple sprinkler heads or irrigation systems that need to work at the same time.

  • If the water pressure from the tap or other water source is not enough to keep your systems functioning properly.

  • For watering larger areas with constant water pressure, such as lawns, flower beds or trees.

Maximum suction depth: up to 8 metres.

Borehole pumps: sustainable use of water from groundwater

Choose a borehole pump if you want to draw water from a water source deeper than 8 metres. Garden water pumps and water pressure pumps can only draw up to 8 metres.

Want to save on your water bill? You can use natural sources, such as rainwater, groundwater or ditch water. For accessing deeper groundwater (below 8 metres), a borehole pump is the ideal solution. These pumps are designed to pump water from deep sources, such as a well or pond, and then transport it to your garden.

This makes borehole pumps a sustainable choice for gardens that need regular watering without depending on drinking water.

A borehole pump is the right choice if:

  • You have access to groundwater, rainwater or ditch water and want to use these sources for garden irrigation.

  • You want to save on water bills by using water from natural sources.

  • You have a garden that needs regular watering, but you don't want to use expensive tap water.

Borehole pumps are suitable for boreholes and wells where water is deeper than 8 metres.

Tip: drilling a hole for your borehole pump

If you have no access to a natural water source: Then you can drill a hole to access groundwater. Obtain water in a sustainable way.

The good news is: With the right pump and accessories, you can save resources and water your garden efficiently. We can help you with this!
