Tony Fox from Think Water Dural, a trusted local Davey dealer, collaborated with property owners in Maroota to address persistent water pressure issues. With no access to water mains or sewer mains in the area, the property relied on high-quality bore water and rainwater catchment systems. The installation of the Davey DynaDrive DD60-10 pump provided a practical solution to enhance water flow and pressure throughout the property.
The Challenge
The property owners in Maroota faced challenges with inconsistent water pressure, particularly when multiple taps were in use simultaneously. This issue significantly affected the comfort and convenience of daily life in their:
- 5-bedroom house
- Occupied by 4 to 7 people (including 3 adult children)
- 2 bathrooms equipped with rain showers
- Kitchen and laundry facilities
- 4 external taps and 2 external fire hose reels
- Instantaneous gas hot water system
Primary water usage covered household needs, with future plans to expand to lawn irrigation. The family’s lifestyle, characterised by long showers and multiple simultaneous water demands, made resolving this issue crucial to ensure adequate pressure.
Implementation
Tony Fox recommended replacing the existing competitor pump with the Davey DynaDrive. The installation involved:
- Connecting a 32mm blue stripe flooded suction line (approx. 3m)
- Utilising 25mm blue stripe pipework to the house (approx. 50m
- Topping up a single 25Kl poly tank using high-quality bore water
- Leveraging approx. 420m2 of roof area for rainwater catchment
The DynaDrive DD60-10 pump was selected for its superior flow and pressure capabilities, aiming to deliver urban like water comforts even in a rural setting.
Results
Post-installation, the end user has reported significant improvements in water pressure and flow rates compared to the previous competitor. Key findings included:
| Measurement Location | Max Pressure (Static) | Flow@ 300 kPa | Flow @ 250 kPa | Flow @ 200 kPa | Flow Fully Open |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Competitor Model at Pump | 290 kPa | N/A | 29 L/min | 33 L/min | 39 L/min |
| Competitor Model at House | 290 kPa | N/A | 9 L/min | 24 L/min | 29 L/min @ 60 kPa |
| Davey at Pump | 400 kPa | 37 L/min | 39 L/min | 43 L/min | 50 L/min @ 180 kPa |
| Davey at House | 400 kPa | 23 L/min | 31 L/min | 37 L/min | 42 L/min @ 190 kPa |
The upgrade resulted in a noticeable enhancement in both water pressure and flow throughout the property. The improved performance brought small but significant comforts to the household, aligning rural living standards more closely with those found in urban and suburban environments.
By replacing the existing pump with the Davey DynaDrive, Tony Fox at Think Water Dural successfully addressed the water pressure challenges faced by the Maroota property owners. The solution not only improved available water supply but also prepared the property for future irrigation needs, proving that the right equipment can make a substantial difference in water management for off mains properties.
