There are several types of pumps that can be used in a bore – a piston pump, a helical rotor pump, a jet pump, and turbine pump. Choosing the right bore pump will depend on water quality, the diameter and depth of the bore, bore capacity (litres per hour or standing water level), pump purpose (direct irrigation or filling a tank), and the level of investment. Choosing the right bore pump can help to reduce damage to the pumping equipment and ensure many years of service.
