Livestock & Farm Water Solutions
Livestock & Farm Water Solutions
Animals drink on a schedule, not when the pressure happens to be good. FORWATER pumps keep water moving to troughs, drinkers, wash-down points and mixing stations — from a single barn to a full farmstead with several buildings.
Typical Farm Duties
| Duty | Typical requirement | Recommended FORWATER range |
|---|---|---|
| Trough & drinker supply | 20–35 m head, 30–80 L/min | Jet pumps, booster pumps |
| Multiple barns / long pipe runs | 35–65 m head | PM80-E (up to 63 m) |
| Wash-down & cleaning | High flow at moderate head | SCM150-E / SCM200-E (130–150 L/min) |
| Mixer / process supply | Steady flow, continuous duty | Multistage centrifugal range (see technology) |
What Farm Systems Need
- Reliability over peak efficiency — a pump that survives dust, heat and long duty cycles
- Suction capability — self-priming units lift from tanks, troughs and shallow wells up to 9 m
- Serviceability — easy access to seals, impellers and capacitors so repairs do not stop the farm
- Voltage flexibility — 110/115/127/220/230/240 V, single or three phase
Recommended Models
- JET100L-E / JET100S-E — 50 m head, 62 L/min for trough lines and wash-down
- PM70-E / PM80-E — brass impeller, 50–63 m head for long runs across the yard
- SCM150-E / SCM200-E — high-flow household and farm booster pumps, 130–150 L/min
- JPM60-400E — compact self-priming booster for outbuildings
Frequently Asked Questions
How many drinkers can one pump serve?
Work out simultaneous demand: dairy cattle drink roughly 60–120 L/day each, and a group often drinks together. Size the pump for the peak group demand in L/min, not the daily total.
Can the pump handle dirty or sandy water?
Our standard pumps are built for clean water and non-aggressive liquids. For sandy or dirty sources, fit a suitable pre-filter or strainer and tell us about the water so we can advise on the right model.
Is three-phase available?
Yes — three-phase versions are available on most models. Tell us your supply and we will confirm the configuration.
