The right pump is a critical part of today’s agricultural irrigation systems. Without them, these systems could not function efficiently and lead to lost money, water, and crops. there are pumps for many different types of applications. some of the applications require pumps made a specific way, with specific materials.

many irrigation systems are pressurized and therefore need a pump. Because the heart of most irrigation systems is the pump, it is important to select the correct type for the irrigation system and it must be as efficient as possible.

considerations for choosing a pump

choosing an agriculture irrigation pumpis based on the type of pump and also on the relationship between pump efficiency and the total dynamic head (TDH) at a specific flow rate.

types of pumps used in agriculture irrigation include:

1. centrifugal (above ground)

2. deep-well turbine

3. submersible

4. propeller

When selecting an irrigation pump, consider the pump’s operating conditions, including:

1. the type of water source

2. the required pumping flow rate (determined by the irrigation system requirements)

3. total suction head (lift from the water surface to pump intake)

4. total dynamic head (total pressure supplied by the pump)

surface water or well water will give you the source of water, and its availability will be determined by the local geology and hydrologic conditions.

The type of irrigation system, distance from the water source and size of the piping system will determine the flow rate and total dynamic head. find great deals on agriculture submersible pumpat www.catflo.com. request a quote or contact us for more information.
