AERATION , IRRIGATION & DRAINAGE
Innovative pump solutions
rrigation systems are adapting
I towards more sustainable practices to suit our increasing global population , climate change and increased water scarcity .
For 63 years T-T Pumps Ltd has been innovating reliable solutions for industrial , agricultural and domestic needs – including Hidro Boost clean water pressurisation sets . Ideal for modern irrigation , they have been supplied to equestrian centres , football clubs , golf clubs and other applications .
Used for crop growth , livestock welfare and sports pitch maintenance , the set you use depends on the site ’ s parameters . The Hidro Boost comes in a variety of sizes – with single , twin , triple , quadruple , and bespoke sets available for domestic to industrial applications .
When choosing a water booster for irrigation you must consider the water demand and total head .
The total head is a combination of elements such as pressure loss from fluid friction in the system ; vertical and ‘ static ’ lift across the pumped line ; and pressure requirements at discharge points such as water features .
These factors combine with the water demanded of the application to reveal the site-specific duty point which must be achieved for optimal performance . Consideration around the best sprinklers , valves and other elements is advised to reduce system inefficiencies to benefit the environment and your energy expenditure .
Variable speed control drives can improve efficiency , such as the Vasco range available with T-T ’ s Hidro Boost . They adjust a booster ’ s flow rate in response to fluctuating demands , reliably keeping the system ’ s pressure levels within a pre-set range . This uses less energy than a fixed speed set , which aims to retain a desired flow rate through switching pumps on and off .
Manufactured with stainless steel , Hidro Boosts are resistant to high pressure flow and chemical corrosion . These features lend themselves to a low level of maintenance and long operational life , reducing the need for regular repairs and replacements , therefore cutting maintenance costs and the impact that upkeep could have on the environment .
When choosing a water boosting set for irrigation applications , take care to consider the lifetime of the system and if it will require regular maintenance or replacements ; the components inside of the booster and if it has been correctly sized to suit the site ’ s specific criteria ; and how the system will regulate flow pressure for both energy efficient and reliable irrigation .
