How Bore Testing Improves Irrigation Efficiency and Saves Water

Contact us

At Wallace Irrigation, we know how important it is to get the most out of every drop of water. Regular bore testing is one of the best ways to make sure your irrigation system stays efficient, reliable, and cost-effective, and it’s simpler than you might think.

Why Bore Testing Matters

Your bore is the heart of your irrigation system. If it’s not performing at its best, you could be wasting water, energy, and money. Regular bore testing checks how much water your bore can supply (flow rate) and at what pressure. With this information, you can tailor your watering schedule to match your bore’s capabilities, preventing over-watering, under-watering, and unnecessary strain on your system.

Without regular testing, you could unknowingly over-pump your bore, leading to pump damage, low water supply, and rising power bills. On the flip side, a struggling bore might not deliver enough pressure for even coverage, leaving your lawn or crops dry and stressed.

Testing helps us catch these issues early, keeping your system running smoothly and your garden or farm thriving.

How Bore Testing Helps Save Water

A bore flow test reveals if your well can meet your irrigation needs or if adjustments are needed to optimise performance. If your bore’s output is lower than expected, we can help you adjust your watering zones or times, avoiding overloading the system.

By matching your irrigation demand to your bore’s actual supply, we help you:

  • Avoid over-pumping and wasting energy

  • Prevent dry patches from low water pressure

  • Extend the life of your bore and pump

  • Water your landscape more consistently and sustainably

In short, regular testing makes your irrigation smarter, saving water, energy, and money in the long run.
