Buying your own property is one of the best investments you can make! Having your own borehole is a close second to that!
REASONS PROPERTY IS A GREAT INVESTMENT
- property prices increase in value over time
- you don’t throw your money away on a rental
- low-interest rates on bonds currently
- eager sellers
- willing lenders
No doubt having your own property is an investment. Protecting that investment is just as important.
As a result, regular maintenance and upkeep are critical when it comes to property. It’s the only way to keep everything in tip-top condition! Therefore, maintaining your garden should be a priority. It shapes the overall impression of your property.
Consequently, regular watering is an absolute non-negotiable. Watering with your irrigation system will keep everything looking lush and appealing.
However, this may not always be as simple as it seems. High municipal water accounts and frequent interruptions to water supply can make watering difficult.
However, the good news is that all is not lost. There are alternate sources of water available. Having your own water security is key! It’s time to consider borehole drilling.
So can you use borehole water to run your irrigation?
The answer is yes! Borehole water can absolutely be used to run your irrigation provided that you:
- Install a Jo-Jo water storage tank. This will house the water pumped from your borehole.
- Install a float switch at the top of the tank. This automates the system of filling the tank.
- Install a booster pump. This connects the tank to your irrigation system.
- Install a pressure switch on top of the booster pump. This automates the flow of water when a tap is opened for irrigation.
A water storage tank needs to be installed to hold the water from the borehole. The pressure from the borehole pump is not sufficient and consistent enough to drive the irrigation. Additionally, a booster pump also provides a more consistent flow of water.
Alternatively, you can usually connect a well-point to your irrigation. Provided it services a smaller area it should be fine. This is because well-point pressure is usually stable and consistent. If this is not the case you will need the storage system as mentioned above.
Drilling your own borehole requires an initial financial outlay. However, the long-term water security it gives is priceless! It works out substantially less than using expensive Council water for years on end. It’s absolutely worth the investment!
