IRRIGATION
Problem
Simple physics explains why water travels with less force the farther it gets from its pumping source. This can be a problem, for example, when you’re trying to
irrigate a property and need to deliver the proper water pressure so that each irrigation head performs the way it was designed to perform.
Herein lays the problem with irrigation systems today. Traditional systems switch pumps on and can only operate at full speed. Irrigation systems consist of
several zones, which are all placed at different distances from the water source, as zones get further away, the required water pressure must be higher to deliver zones further away. In other
words, each zone requires a different pressure point. The problem is how to size a pump for varying needs.
Traditional pumps that operate with one fixed speed are unable to meet the individual requirements of every zone in the irrigation system. The result: pumps that are
either too strong or not strong enough and operate at different water-pressure points. Additionally, because the pump constantly runs at full speed, it gets choked off when required to supply your
closest (easiest) zones, costing unnecessary wear and tear and additional energy costs.
Solution
Pump Pro recommends its constant pressure control. By selecting the optimum pump with proper controls in order to cover your highest and lowest water pressure requirements, every zone will operate at full capacity with perfect and efficient constant pressure.
Benefits
Constant water pressure, reliability, reduced wear and tear on pump, eliminated water hammer, considerable energy savings
