Reliable Pumping Solutions for Farms, Acreage, and Homes in the Southern Downs. Sales, Installation & On-Site Repairs.
When you’re on the land, water is everything. A failed pump isn’t just an inconvenience—it’s a crisis.
A broken pump means dry paddocks, thirsty stock, or a threat to your crop. It means a house with no water pressure, a garden wilting in the heat, and a major interruption to your life or business.
We are Warwick’s dedicated irrigation and water management experts. For over 40 years, our team has provided reliable, efficient, and tough pumping solutions to the Southern Downs community. We don’t just sell pumps; we design, install, and repair the systems that keep your water moving when you need it most.
From a solar bore pump in a remote paddock to a high-pressure system for your home, we are your local partners in water management.

The High Cost of the “Wrong Pump”
In our years of field service, the most expensive pump is almost always a cheap one.
A one-size-fits-all pump from a chain hardware store might seem like a bargain, but it’s often the worst investment you can make for a critical system. An incorrectly sized or poor-quality pump will cause constant headaches:
- It Will Burn Out Prematurely: A pump that’s too small for the job will be forced to run 24/7, destroying its motor. A pump that’s too large will “short cycle”—turning on and off rapidly—which is the fastest way to kill a pump.
- It Will Waste Electricity: An inefficient pump is a constant, hidden drain on your power bill. A system that isn’t matched to the pipe size and water source can use two or three times the power it should, costing you thousands.
- It Will Fail Under Pressure: A cheap pump won’t deliver the pressure you need. This results in irrigators that don’t throw properly, weak showers in the house, or a failure to get water to the top of a hill.
- It Will Fail at the Worst Possible Time: These pumps are notorious for breaking down in the middle of a 40-degree heatwave or during a critical irrigation cycle, precisely when you need them most.
A professional system isn’t just a purchase; it’s an investment in reliability and peace of mind.
Pumping Solutions Designed for the Southern Downs
We provide complete, end-to-end solutions, from the water source to the tap. We’ll listen to your needs, analyse your property, and recommend the right pump for the job.
Solar Irrigation Pumps
Harness the Queensland sun to cut your power bills and secure your water supply. Solar pumping is no longer a niche product; it’s a powerful and reliable solution for our region. We are specialists in designing and installing robust solar pump systems.
-
Why Go Solar? It provides total energy independence. You can get water from any bore or dam on your property without worrying about running power lines or diesel generators. It’s perfect for remote stock troughs, dam transfers, and off-grid irrigation.
-
Is it a Good Investment? A solar pump system often pays for itself in just a few years through $0 running costs. With no power bills and minimal maintenance, it’s one of the smartest long-term investments a property owner can make.
Submersible Bore Pumps
The silent workhorse of rural Warwick, a reliable bore pump is essential for many homes and farms. Choosing the right one is critical. We can’t just guess. We need to match the pump to your specific bore.
-
Our Process: We analyse your bore report to check the depth, the water’s static level, and the recommended flow rate.
-
The Right Pump: We’ll select a high-quality submersible pump (like Grundfos, Franklin Electric) that is designed to handle the local water quality (such as iron or sand) and can efficiently push water to the surface and into your tanks.
Surface & Centrifugal Pumps (Dams & Rivers)
Need to move large volumes of water from a dam, river, or creek? You need a surface pump. These systems are the heart of large-scale irrigation and water transfer systems.
-
For High Flow: We supply and install high-flow centrifugal pumps designed to move a lot of water at lower pressure. These are perfect for flood irrigation or fast tank-filling.
-
For High Pressure: We use multistage pumps that are built to create the high pressure needed to run travelling irrigators, centre pivots, or push water up a long, steep hill to a header tank.
Home & Garden Pressure Pumps
Tired of a shower that’s just a dribble? A good pressure pump system can transform your home. We install modern, quiet, and efficient pressure pumps that provide strong, consistent water flow to your house and garden. We work with all water sources:
-
Town Water: We can install a booster pump to fix low municipal pressure.
-
Tank Water: Our systems provide “better than town” pressure from your rainwater tanks.
-
Bore Water: We can design a complete system with a pressure pump and controllers to make your bore water safe and usable for your home and garden.
We Stock, Install & Service the Brands You Trust
A great system starts with a great pump. We are authorised dealers and service agents for Australia’s most reliable and trusted pump brands.
We don’t just sell them; we know how to repair them. Our Warwick workshop and field service vehicles are stocked with a wide range of common spare parts to get your system back up and running, fast.
More Than a Sale: Our Full-Service Process
When you work with us, you’re getting a complete, turn-key solution. We manage the entire project from start to finish.
1. On-Site Consultation & System Design
Every property is different. We come to you. Our expert will walk your property, analyse your water source (dam, bore test report, tank), measure your power supply, and discuss your water needs. We look at “total dynamic head” (how high and far you’re pumping) and “required flow rate” to design a system that is perfectly balanced and efficient.
2. Professional Installation
Our experienced technicians will install your pump correctly the first time. This isn’t a side job for us; it’s our specialty. Our installation includes all the plumbing, electrical connections, and controller setup. We ensure your system is safe, compliant, and ready to work.
3. On-Farm & Workshop Repairs
When your pump breaks down, you need help fast. We offer fast, on-site troubleshooting and repairs across the Warwick region to minimise your downtime. For major issues, our fully-equipped Warwick workshop can handle complete pump rebuilds and testing. We prioritise “water-off” situations for our rural and residential customers.
Your Irrigation Pump Questions Answered (FAQ)
How do I choose the right size pump for my property?
Choosing the right pump is a science. You need to know two main things: the “flow rate” (how many litres per minute you need) and the “total dynamic head” (how high and how far you need to pump the water, including pipe friction). Trying to guess is the main reason pumps fail. The best way is to have an expert (like us) come out and properly calculate your needs.
My irrigation pump has lost pressure. What’s wrong?
This is a very common problem. It could be several things:
- A leak in your pipes (underground or at a fitting).
- A blockage in the pump’s intake or in your filters.
- A worn-out “impeller” inside the pump (the part that moves the water).
- If it’s a bore pump, the water level in the bore may have dropped. It’s best to have a technician diagnose the problem to avoid replacing a perfectly good pump.
Are solar pumps really powerful enough for irrigation?
Absolutely. Modern solar pump technology is amazing. We can design systems that run large irrigators or move massive volumes of water from a dam to a holding tank, all using the sun. The key is designing the whole system (panels, controller, and pump) to work together.
How often does my bore pump need to be serviced?
This depends on your water quality. If your water is very clean, your pump might run for 5-10 years without issue. If your water is sandy, gritty, or has high iron, we recommend a check-up every 2-3 years. An expert can pull the pump, check the seals and motor, and clean any build-up, which can prevent a much more expensive failure.
Do you offer emergency pump repairs in Warwick?
Yes. We prioritise “no water” emergencies for our farm and residential customers. If your stock is out of water or your house is dry, call our team. We will do everything we can to get a technician to you as fast as possible.
What’s the difference between a bore pump and a dam pump?
A bore pump is a “submersible pump.” It’s a long, skinny cylinder designed to be lowered deep into the ground. It pushes water up to the surface. A dam pump is a “surface pump” (like a centrifugal pump). It sits on the bank and pulls water from the source using a suction pipe. They are not interchangeable.
