Slimline tank showing tap and overflow

Free rainwater on tap

Ever thought about installing a tank for garden watering or even with a changeover system to use a combination of mains or tank water for washing and toilets as well as the garden?

One of our customers recently had a garden pump in for repair. We then installed a slimline tank for her and connected it up, with downpipe, manual tap and automatic tap outlet for a garden hose and the repaired pump now had a new lease of life watering the garden.

A frog in the throat?

Collette turned up at DJ’s Electric Motor and Pump Centre one morning last week. In her hands was a Grundfos pump used for pumping from the household tank to the toilets and laundry.

It was a multistage pump, which meant it provided really good pressure for the house, and being Grundfos, it was very good quality! But it wasn’t pumping water for the toilets or laundry as it had been. That was a problem. She came because we are really good with service and repairs and can fix pump problems.

Because it was for household water supply it went straight to the top of the list for resurrection.

Michael, one of our in-house service techs tested it and pulled it down. And that’s where he found the problem. A frog was stuck in the impeller, and unfortunately for the frog it was deceased. Not so the pump! With a little of DJ’s magic, the remains of the frog were removed. The rest of the pump was thoroughly checked and tested, and Michael replaced a seal which was showing signs of wear. All done before lunch time.

In discussions with Collette, we also supplied some new suction hose and fittings to make the installation a lot better.

Result? Happy Collette; she had a fully functioning quality pump back in operation to flush and wash with abandon. Satisfied DJ’s; we were able to make another customer very happy with our service and care!

Solar Pump Project

When Justin needed help with his irrigation project, he knew that DJ’s Electric Motor and Pump Centre would be able to help – DJ’s had provided great service on previous jobs.

 

The problem was to pump from a dam with a pipe run of almost a kilometer and 130 meters of static head height. That’s a lot of friction loss to overcome! And still the need for some water at the end. The water was to irrigate five sectors of fruit groves and fill several tanks.

 

 

 

The solution was to install a solar pump (because of distance from power and the for long-term economy). Because of the total head required (including distance and physical height) we chose to use a submersible borehole pump in a shroud and mount it under a float. This solution was the most economical, providing high pressure and good flow. The products used were  a Bianco Solar array consisting of 10 x 315 watt panels and a DAB S4C39SOL solar borehole pump with a 200m head and a max flow of 70 lpm.

 

Other equipment needed for the job included the Icon Solar Controller, pressure switches and float valves for the tank filling. We also supplied backup units including a Westinghouse 8.5kva generator and an Onga Blaze firefighter pump for transfer from one dam to the other.

Despite the challenges of installing the pump using existing lines in poor condition and the nature of the terrain, the installation ticked all the boxes that Justins had requested. He now has a reliable source of water with negligible running costs due to the solar power to irrigate the existing, and yet to be planted, fruit trees.
