Davey, PK Equipment, and Josh Neille Unite to Protect Wildlife
In the heart of Victoria’s Gippsland region, wildlife rehabilitator Josh Neille has found a trusted partner in local Master Dealer PK Equipment in Sale and Davey Water Products, transforming water management across his farm through three cutting-edge solutions.
Located in a high-risk bushfire zone, Neille relies on the Davey Firefighter single-stage pump for critical fire protection and water transfer. Powered by a Honda GX160 engine, the pump provides unparalleled flexibility in areas without electrical access. Its marine-grade aluminium casing and self-priming capability allow Neille to:
- Fill cattle troughs
- Transfer water between dams
- Suppress potential spot fires
- Cool down wildlife during extreme heat
With a maximum total head of 72 meters and flow capacities up to 500 L/min, the pump ensures both animal safety and property protection.
Addressing noise and pressure challenges, Neille upgraded to the Davey DynaDrive Constant Pressure Pump. Key benefits include:
- Ultra-quiet operation near animal enclosures
- Consistent water pressure for multiple simultaneous tasks
- Energy-efficient stainless steel components
- Built-in diagnostics for easy maintenance
The pump’s Variable Speed Drive technology allows seamless water usage without pressure drops, crucial for maintaining a calm environment for rehabilitating wildlife.
Ensuring clean water became paramount with the Davey AquaShield 3 Stage UV and Filtration System. This advanced solution:
- Removes sediment and suspended solids
- Eliminates harmful bacteria through UV disinfection
- Provides real-time system status updates
- Offers protection for up to 7 simultaneous water outlets
The system’s polished 316L stainless steel construction and 14-month UV lamp lifespan provide long-term, reliable water quality.
A Partnership of Purpose
For Josh Neille, these Davey Water Products solutions are more than equipment—they’re lifelines for his wildlife rehabilitation efforts. By addressing critical challenges in water management, fire protection, and water quality, both Davey Master Dealer PK Equipment and Davey Water Products have become an indispensable ally in his mission to protect and care for native Australian wildlife.
