People who live in rural areas might think of irrigation as something that is needed for growing crops. Families who live in the city are probably more familiar with systems that help tend their lawns and keep them looking lovely. In either case, electric water pumps for irrigation might be exactly the equipment found in use. Let’s take a closer look at these systems.
A basic system starts with the pump. To determine what size is needed there are a few facts that have to be considered. The total surface area to be covered, the volume of delivery, and the type of soil that exists. A standard perc test can reveal how porous the soil is and the rate at which it will soak up the water.
Hoses and pipes are used to move the liquid from one location, or container, to another. If you are going to draw it from a well, you will also need casing to line the inside of the shaft that is dug down to reach the water. Casing lids can be fitted surface side to prevent contaminants from entering the well shaft. When left unattended, these lids can be secured with a padlock to keep small rodents from falling down in the well.
Depending on the type of system, sprayer nozzles can be installed at regular intervals along the pipes to provide liquid to the crops or lawn. Underground systems make use of buried water lines which have pop up valves that engage when the pressure is applied to them. These stay nicely below mower blade level when there is no pressure pushing them up, and when the pressure is relieved the simply retreat back toward the ground.
A power source has to be available to provide the electricity. Some installations use fuel powered generators. Other situations might be able to make use of solar power to harness enough electricity to power the system And, of course, you can use power from the utility company. The size of the pump will determine how much power is needed. Solar systems might be dependent on additional panels and back up batteries.
When it comes to electric water pumps for irrigation, there are many sizes from which to choose. The area to be supplied will be the main factor in deciding which pump will be able to produce the desired results. Keep in mind that if there are going to be ninety degree turns, it will have an effect on the final output pressure.
