Choosing the Right Pump
Every property setup is different, and using the wrong type of pump can lead to low pressure, wasted energy, or premature system failure. That’s why selecting the correct pump type is just as important as the installation itself. We consider key factors like water source, daily usage, system design, and terrain when advising on pump suitability. Whether you’re running tank water, drawing from a bore, or circulating water for filtration or landscaping, we’ll guide you through the available options and explain how each one works.
We’re experienced with single and multistage pumps, pressure pumps, submersible setups, surface units, and specialty systems tailored to filtration or greywater use. If you're unsure what’s best for your system or property, we're here to help with clear, expert advice. Call
0408 347 054 to discuss the right pump type for your system.

Available in surface-mounted or submersible packages, our systems suit homes of all sizes. Rainwater can supply water to toilets, washing machines and garden taps, helping to reduce your reliance on mains water.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the same pump be used for both irrigation and household water?
While some pumps can be used for both, it’s important to match the pump’s output to the pressure and flow demands of each application. Household water generally needs stable pressure and quiet operation, while irrigation systems may require high flow over longer distances. In many cases, using one pump for both purposes can reduce performance or increase wear. Dual-pump systems or appropriately sized models with pressure control may offer a better long-term solution.
Do pressure pumps work automatically?
Most modern pressure pumps include an automatic pressure controller that turns the pump on when water is needed and off when the demand stops. These controllers help maintain consistent pressure and protect the pump from running dry. However, older systems or basic models may require manual control or additional switches. It’s important to check the pump specifications and ensure it’s set up with the right accessories for automated operation, especially in homes using tank water.
Can a pump be used for both clean and dirty water?
Not all pumps are designed to handle both clean and dirty water. Clean water pumps are built for filtered or treated sources and can be damaged by debris or sediment. Dirty water pumps—often used in drainage or greywater systems—are designed to pass solids and resist clogging. Using the wrong pump can result in blockages, motor strain, or reduced flow. If you need to handle both, a specialist pump or dual system may be recommended. Always check the pump’s specifications before use.
