Pumps
A reliable pump can bring you
great peace of mind.
At BD Water, we undersand how critical it is to have a good water pump. Without a reliable pump, water won’t reach your plants effectively, leading to wasted resources, higher costs and potentially destruction of crops, even the death of livestock - and that is simply unacceptable. That’s why we make sure the pumps we install and maintain are not only high-quality builds properly installed, but also custom selected to match your system’s specific needs.
Whether you have a small farm or a vast commercial property, bore and irrigation pumps play an essential role in distributing water from its source to where it’s needed most.
In Western Australia, where efficient water management is vital, the right pump can be the key to ensuring your irrigation system performs at its best.

We offer tailored pump solutions for every type of irrigation project. Whether you’re installing a brand-new irrigation system or upgrading an existing one, we’re here to make sure you have the right pump for the job. We specialise in installing pumps that work in harmony with your water source and the irrigation layout of your property.
Our process starts with a desktop assessment of the property, followed when required by a thorough on-site consultation where we look at your current irrigation setup, your property’s layout, and your water source. We’ll recommend the perfect pump that meets your irrigation needs. From solar-powered pumps to traditional electric options, we’ve got you covered.
Durable pump solutions
We offer long-lasting pumping solutions that are custom selected to a specific property, to last through the years. Solar pumps are perfect for properties in more remote locations or for large properties with widespread irrigation systems.
Our pumps are eco-friendly and incredibly reliable, a must-have in sunny Western Australia.
Upgrades and maintenance
Over time, even the best pumps can wear out or become less efficient. We’ll assess whether your pump can be serviced or if it’s time for an upgrade. In either case, we’ll get your irrigation system is back to running at peak performance in no time.
Regular maintenance is also key to ensuring your pump stays in top shape and you avoid costly repairs down the road.

Why Pumps Matter for Irrigation
An irrigation pump is like the engine of your system - it pushes water from its source, whether it’s a bore, tank, or other reservoir, into the mainline and distributes it through peripheral pipes and sprinklers. Without a pump, gravity alone often isn't enough to move the water, especially over large or uneven areas.
Choosing the right pump can make a significant difference. A well-functioning pump ensures that your irrigation system is efficient, helps conserve water, and reduces energy costs, which is crucial in Western Australia’s often dry conditions.
Custom pump selection
At BD Water, we take the guesswork out of selecting the right pump by assessing your property and irrigation needs to recommend the most suitable solution.
New or integrated
Whether you’re starting from scratch or upgrading an old system, we’re here to make sure your irrigation pump is up to the task.
Stay in the loop
We communicate effectively with our clients every step of the way - from the initial enquiry, to any assessments, sizing and selection of the new pump, to the install and post-service support.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
My pump has lost prime, now what?
If your pump hasn’t been run recently, a slow leak can cause it to lose prime. Every pump has a priming point. However, if the leak seems more serious, call us and we can handle the repair.
When should I water?
You should set your system to water on your scheduled days. The optimum watering time is in the early morning. This allows the water to reach the roots without being evaporated or blown away. It’s also effective in preventing fungus or disease that is often caused by water sitting overnight on plants.
Do I need to apply for any licences?
We recommend you contact us directly so we can provide advice specific to your situation.
In general, most commercial or large properties in proclaimed areas (from the Hills line to the Coast) need a licence to drill and utilise the bore. If you are doing any of the following you’ll most likely need a groundwater licence to take water:
- Irrigating more than 1/2 an acre (2,000 square meters)
- Using the bore for commercial activity (feedlots, agriculture, construction, etc)
- Looking to utilise an aquifer deeper than the Superficial aquifer (bores generally deeper than 30 metres)
Another type of licence is a 26D licence to drill a borehole, which you need in case you are:
- Using the bore for commercial activity
- Looking to drill into a confined or semi-confined aquifer (bores generally deeper than 60 metres)
To ensure you are compliant with the legislation applicable to you, contact us so we can assess your property and give you specific advice for your situation.
How does a bore and irrigation system work?
A water pump draws water out from the water table or permeable materials in the soil and into the pipe of the bore, which then pushes water to the surface. It can be connected to a tank or directly tied in to the irrigation system.
The water table is a static level layer, usually at shallower depths, than can dry up, causing damage to the bore. This is why we drill past the water table and into the permeable materials at the bottom of the aquifers, to get a more consistent and better quality supply. The screens placed at the bottom of the bore construction filter the river sands to get the water into the bore.
How do you connect the new bore to my existing system?
We disconnect the existing system from the mains or previous water supply, and simply change its water source to the new bore, connected by the piping system. The controller can be rewired to the new box. This is a simple turn-key solution that we carry out in most integration systems.
How much is a consultation and quote?
Most of our consultations and quotes are free of charge. We conduct consultation with you, generally on site, to get to know you and understand your water needs, then provide a free quote.
In some cases, specialised research, testing or designing is required before we can provide a formal quote for the works. This includes bore drilling consultations and irrigation where a large system design is required. In these cases, we will discuss the costs of these services before doing anything, and if you’d like to go ahead, we can help you get a comprehensive solution, tailored to your needs.
