Choosing and specifying this item

Work back from the emitter

The duty comes from the irrigation design, not the area of the field. Drip laterals need a modest but steady pressure at every emitter; impact and rotor sprinklers need considerably more, and micro-sprays sit between. Add emitter operating pressure to filter loss taken at the dirty condition, mainline and lateral friction, and the elevation to the highest block. That total, at the flow of the largest block run at one time, is the duty to quote.

Variable sun means variable uniformity

On a directly coupled array, flow and pressure follow irradiance through the day, which shifts emitter output and damages distribution uniformity across the block. The usual answer on drip is to pump into a tank and irrigate by gravity or through a controlled second stage, rather than irrigating straight off the panels. Settle that before selecting the pump, because it changes both duty and control.

Confirm before quotation

Flow Rate and Head, Pump Power, Operating Voltage and the Solar Input window. Declare the source and water quality — salinity, iron, suspended solids and any fertigation chemicals decide filtration and wetted materials, and are the usual reason a solar irrigation set disappoints in its second season.

Frequently asked questions

How do I work out the flow I actually need?

Start from the crop water requirement for the peak month, multiplied by the irrigated area, to get the daily volume. Divide that by the hours the system can realistically run — on solar, the usable window, not sunrise to sunset. Then check the result against the largest block you intend to irrigate at once, since the pump must satisfy that block's simultaneous emitter demand, not the daily average.

Can I run drip irrigation directly off the panels?

It works, but uniformity suffers. Emitter discharge depends on pressure, and pressure follows irradiance, so the first and last hours of the day deliver less than midday and the field waters unevenly. Pressure-compensating emitters help within their operating band. The more dependable arrangement is to pump to a tank during the solar window and irrigate under controlled pressure from there.

What filtration does the system need?

It depends on the source and the emitter. Surface and canal water carries organic matter and suspended solids and typically needs a media or disc arrangement; well water may need sand separation and treatment for iron or manganese. Size filters on the flow at the dirty condition, allow for the head loss in the pump duty, and plan how flushing will be triggered.

Does fertigation affect pump selection?

Yes. Injected fertiliser and acid change the chemistry passing through the system, so the wetted materials in the pump, seals and downstream fittings must suit what will actually be dosed. State the products intended. Injection point, backflow prevention and a flushing regime at the end of each fertigation cycle also need to be agreed as part of the design.
