What are Water Transfer Pumps used for?
Bushfire Store’s Water Transfer Pumps are designed for moving large volumes of water efficiently, making them useful when high flow is more important than high pressure. The range includes petrol and diesel water pumps suitable for farms, civil works, construction, landscaping, and other applications where water needs to be transferred quickly.
When would I use a petrol or diesel water pump?
Both types are designed for high-flow water transfer, but the engine choice can depend on your site and how the pump will be used.
Petrol water pumps are a practical option for portable water transfer and include Honda-powered models in 2″, 3″, and 4″ configurations.
Diesel water pumps use Yanmar engines and are available in 2″ and 3″ configurations, including models with maximum flow rates of up to 1,300 litres per minute.
What can these water transfer pumps be used for?
The pumps are suited to a range of water transfer applications, including:
- Filling water carts quickly on farms, worksites and other locations.
- Flood irrigation where large volumes of water need to be moved.
- Stock watering and supplying water to livestock.
- Tree watering and other agricultural or landscaping applications.
- Site dewatering on construction and excavation sites.
- General water transfer where efficient, high-volume pumping is required.
What should I consider when choosing a water pump?
Consider the flow rate, pump inlet and outlet size, engine type, and the amount of water you need to move. The Bushfire Store range includes 2″, 3″, and 4″ pumps, with different engine sizes and flow capacities to suit different jobs.
For example, the petrol range includes a 2″ Honda GX120 model through to a 4″ Honda GX240 model, while the diesel range includes Yanmar-powered pumps with maximum flow rates from 700 to 1,300 litres per minute.
