Frequently Asked Questions

Can this submersible bore pump handle Australian well and borehole conditions?

Absolutely. This 1.5HP deep well pump is specifically designed for Australian conditions and water sources. It's built from high-quality stainless steel, making it resistant to corrosion—essential for Australian borehole water which can vary in mineral content. It works perfectly with wells, boreholes, and underground reservoirs, and can lift water up to 60 metres, covering most residential and agricultural borehole depths across Australia. The 240V/50Hz specification matches standard Australian electrical systems.

How much water will this pump deliver and how high can it lift water?

This submersible pump delivers a maximum flow rate of 35 litres per minute, which is ideal for livestock watering, garden irrigation, and household use. It can lift water up to a maximum head of 60 metres, making it suitable for deep bores common in rural Australia. For reference, this means you could pump from a 60m deep borehole or use it across significant distances where water pressure is needed.

How easy is it to install, and what comes in the box?

Installation is straightforward. The pump comes complete with a 30-metre cable and an external control box, so you won't need additional electrical work. Simply lower the pump into your bore, connect the cable to the control box, plug into a standard 240V Australian power outlet, and you're ready to go. The control box includes thermal protection and automatic shut-off features for safety and longevity. The pump body is 116cm long and 7cm diameter, so check your bore diameter before ordering.

Will I have any issues with water quality or debris from my bore?

No. The pump includes a built-in filter mesh that removes impurities and debris before the water is delivered, ensuring clean water for your livestock, irrigation, or household use. The stainless steel construction also prevents corrosion and contamination of the water source, maintaining water quality over time. It's designed specifically for the variability of Australian borehole water.

What's the delivery timeframe to my Australian address, and can I return it if it doesn't suit my needs?

Yarra Supply offers Australia-wide free shipping on this pump, so there's no additional cost regardless of your location. We also provide a 30-day returns policy, giving you plenty of time to test the pump and make sure it's right for your bore depth and water needs. If you're unsure about compatibility with your specific setup, feel free to contact us before ordering.

How does this pump compare to cheaper alternatives on the market?

At AUD $316, this pump offers excellent value for a stainless steel deep well submersible unit. Many cheaper pumps use lower-grade materials that corrode quickly in Australian bore water, requiring frequent replacement. This pump's 1100W motor, 35L/min output, and 60-metre lift capacity are solid specifications for residential and small agricultural use. The included 30m cable and control box eliminate hidden costs, and the stainless steel construction means it'll outlast cheaper alternatives by years, saving you money long-term.

What size bore do I need, and is this pump suitable for livestock watering?

The pump is 7cm in diameter, so your bore needs to be at least this wide—most Australian residential and agricultural bores are 100mm (10cm) or larger, so this isn't usually an issue. Yes, it's specifically suitable for livestock watering. The 35L/minute flow rate is perfect for cattle, sheep, or mixed livestock operations, and it can handle the continuous duty cycle required for farm watering systems. It's also ideal for garden irrigation and household water supply when borehole access is available.
