Why Installers Are Switching to Solar Pumping?

We’re seeing growing interest in solar pumping systems, particularly for remote sites where mains power is difficult, expensive or impractical to install.

Solar pumping is increasingly being used for:

• Livestock watering
• Borehole pumping
• Remote tanks and troughs
• Irrigation supply
• Off-grid water systems

Systems such as the Grundfos SQFlex range are commonly used on agricultural and remote water supply applications where reliable daily water supply is essential.

Correct system sizing, storage capacity and borehole yield all remain important, particularly where water demand varies throughout the season.

For many rural installations, solar pumping can provide a practical solution where traditional power infrastructure is limited.

If you need help specifying solar borehole pumps, controls or storage systems, our team is always happy to help.

What Causes Pressure Fluctuations in Borehole Systems?

Pressure fluctuations on borehole and private water supply systems can have a number of different causes, particularly during periods of higher seasonal demand.
Some of the most common issues we see include:

• Incorrect pressure vessel pre-charge
• Waterlogged or undersized vessels
• Pressure switch or controller issues
• Pump cycling problems
• Changes in demand or flow rates

On systems using pumps such as the Grundfos SQ, SQE and SP ranges, correctly sized pressure vessels and properly configured controls can make a significant difference to overall pressure stability.

In many cases, pressure problems gradually worsen over time rather than appearing suddenly, especially once systems come under heavier summer usage.

Correct servicing, fault finding and system sizing can help improve long-term reliability and reduce unnecessary wear on pumps and controls.

If you need help specifying pressure vessels, pumps or controls for borehole systems, our team is always happy to help.

Trade Support Matters More Than Ever!

Correct product selection and technical support can make a significant difference to long-term system reliability, particularly on borehole, booster and private water supply installations.

We regularly work with installers, engineers and contractors looking for support with:

• Pump specification
• Pressure vessel sizing
• Borehole applications
• Booster system selection
• Variable speed systems
• Solar pumping setups

Whether it’s a replacement pump, a new installation or troubleshooting an existing system, having the correct information from the start can help reduce unnecessary call-backs and downtime later on.

We supply a wide range of systems including Grundfos SQ, SQE, SP, CMBE and DAB booster ranges for domestic, agricultural and commercial water supply applications.

Summer Demand Is When Weak Systems Show Up.

As water demand increases through the summer months, this is often when underlying system issues begin to show up.

We regularly see seasonal pressure problems caused by:

• Undersized pressure vessels
• Incorrect pump specification
• Blocked filtration
• Ageing controls
• Increased irrigation or livestock demand

Systems that appear to perform normally through winter and spring can quickly start struggling once daily usage increases.

This is particularly common on borehole and private water supply systems using pumps such as the Grundfos SQ, SQE and SP ranges, where flow rates, storage capacity and pressure stability all play an important role.

Preventative maintenance and correct system sizing can help reduce unnecessary downtime and avoid avoidable call-backs during busy periods.

If you need help specifying pumps, pressure vessels or controls, our team is always happy to help.

When Should You Use Variable Speed Pumps?

Variable speed pumps can be a good option where water demand changes throughout the day and consistent pressure is important.

We commonly see variable speed systems used on:

• Private water supply systems
• Booster applications
• Agricultural installations
• Larger domestic properties
• Irrigation systems with varying demand

Systems such as the Grundfos CMBE and DAB E.sybox ranges are designed to adjust pump speed based on demand, helping maintain more stable pressure and reduce unnecessary pump cycling.

They can also help improve system efficiency and reduce pressure fluctuations where usage varies significantly throughout the day.

That said, variable speed systems are not always the right solution for every installation. Correct sizing, duty requirements and overall system design still remain important.

If you need help specifying variable speed booster systems, pumps or controls, our team is always happy to help.

Real Install: Livestock Watering System Upgrade

A livestock watering system upgrade using a borehole supply and pressure boosting setup for a rural installation.

The existing system was struggling to maintain consistent pressure during periods of higher demand, particularly across multiple troughs and storage points.

For this installation, the focus was on:

• Improving pressure stability
• Reducing pump cycling
• Increasing storage reliability
• Simplifying ongoing maintenance

Systems using borehole pumps such as the Grundfos SQ and SQE ranges are commonly used on agricultural and livestock watering applications where reliable daily supply is essential.

Correct sizing and storage design can make a significant difference to long-term system performance, especially through spring and summer when water demand increases.

If you need help specifying pumps, pressure vessels or controls for agricultural water systems, our team is always happy to help.

Pump Short Cycling? Check These First!

Pump short cycling is one of the most common causes of premature wear on booster and private water supply systems.

We regularly see issues on systems where pressure vessels, controls or pump sizing are no longer correctly matched to demand — particularly during periods of heavier seasonal usage.

A few things worth checking first:

• Pressure vessel pre-charge
• Pressure switch settings
• Signs of waterlogged vessels
• Pump run frequency
• Incorrectly sized vessels or pumps

On systems using booster sets such as the Grundfos CMBE or DAB E.sybox ranges, correct setup can make a significant difference to long-term reliability and pressure stability.

Preventative checks now can help avoid unnecessary breakdowns and call-backs later in the summer.

If you need help specifying replacement pressure vessels, booster pumps or controls, our team is always happy to help.

The Summer Irrigation Rush Has Started - As irrigation demand starts increasing through June, this is often when underlying system issues begin to show up.

We commonly see systems using borehole pumps such as the Grundfos SP and SQ ranges coming under heavier demand during warmer weather, particularly on agricultural and private water supply installations.

Low pressure, fluctuating flow rates, pump cycling and undersized storage can all become more noticeable once systems are under regular daily use.

A few areas worth checking before peak summer demand:

• Pump performance and duty
• Pressure vessel condition
• Filtration and strainers
• Pipe sizing and flow restrictions
• Tank storage capacity

Correct system sizing and preventative maintenance can help avoid unnecessary downtime during busy periods.

If you need help specifying borehole pumps, pressure vessels or controls for irrigation and water supply systems, our team is always happy to help.

Why Correct Pump Specification Prevents Call-Backs...

Correct pump specification can make a significant difference to long-term system reliability - particularly on borehole, booster, and private water supply systems.
Oversized pumps can lead to excessive cycling, pressure fluctuations, and unnecessary wear on system components.

Undersized pumps may struggle to meet demand during periods of higher usage, especially through spring and summer. A few things worth considering during specification:

• Required flow and pressure
• Pipework sizing and losses
• Borehole yield and recovery rates
• Storage capacity
• Duty cycle and expected usage patterns

Getting the specification right from the start can help reduce call-backs, improve efficiency, and extend system lifespan.

If you need help selecting pumps, pressure vessels or controls for a project, we are always happy to help.

Inside a Typical Borehole Booster Setup...

A correctly designed borehole booster system is about more than just the pump itself.

System reliability often comes down to how well the individual components work together.

A typical setup may include:

• Borehole pump
• Pressure vessel
• Pressure switch or controller
• Dry-run protection
• non-return valves
• Filtration and treatment equipment
• Storage tanks where required

Correct sizing and setup can help improve pressure stability, reduce pump cycling and minimise unnecessary wear on the system. Every installation is different, particularly on private water supplies where demand, borehole yield and storage requirements can vary significantly.
