- Borehole pumps. Selecting and fitting submersible pumps, controls and pipework. See Irrigation Pump Installation.
- Solar pumping. PV arrays filling a tank or dam by day. See Solar Irrigation Pumps.
- Failed pumps. Pulling, testing and replacing borehole units. See Irrigation Pump Repairs.
- Small irrigated blocks. Pasture, fodder or vegetable plots under sprinklers or drip, with filtration matched to the water.
Things Albertinia Contractors Assess
- Borehole yield. A pump test shows how much the hole gives without running dry, and that caps the irrigated area.
- Water quality. Groundwater can be salty or high in iron, which affects crops and clogs drippers, so a test comes first.
- Daytime pumping. Solar pumps only run in sunlight, so storage size decides how many hours you can irrigate.
- Stock water. Where livestock troughs share the borehole, both demands go into the sizing.
Getting Quotes in Albertinia
Send the borehole depth, any yield test results and the distance to the tank or dam. If the hole has never been tested, ask contractors to include a test in their price.

Agricultural Irrigation Albertinia FAQs
Can solar run my borehole pump without batteries?
Yes, most solar irrigation pumps run straight from the panels and fill a tank or dam by day. Batteries are added only when you must pump at night or in cloud.
Why test the water before installing drip?
Salt, iron and hardness can block emitters and harm some crops. The result tells the contractor what filtration or treatment to quote.
My borehole pump keeps tripping. What should I send?
The pump and motor size, the depth it hangs at, how long it runs before tripping and the type of control panel.
Agricultural Irrigation Services
Send one borehole or solar pump request through Agricultural Irrigation South Africa and compare pump sizes, panel arrays and storage each contractor suggests.
Agricultural Irrigation South Africa is a quote-comparison service. We do not design, supply, install or repair irrigation systems, and we do not employ contractors. Work is quoted and carried out by independent irrigation businesses, and your contract is with the business you choose. Ask each one for a written quotation that names the equipment, design flows and pressures, preparation, timing and any warranty terms before you pay a deposit.
