A Closer Look at WaterForce Christchurch

From Selwyn to the Port Hills, our Christchurch team spends every day helping local growers, landowners, landscapers and community organisations get the best out of their water systems. Canterbury is a region with huge variation in climate, soil, property type and water availability, so the work we do is shaped by local knowledge and practical experience. Our focus is simple, provide solutions that fit both your water budget and your economic budget and keep them performing for the long haul.

What Our Christchurch Branch Does

Our branch is built around a mix of specialist teams who cover everything from small residential jobs to major infrastructure projects.

One part of our team is dedicated to large scale pivot and farm irrigation across the Canterbury plains. We design, install and service systems that deliver efficient water use and dependable performance season after season. This includes Valley pivot and linear irrigation systems, along with solid set and hard hose options for different land types and consent requirements.

Another group focuses on residential and commercial irrigation. This ranges from home gardens and lifestyle blocks through to sports fields, schools and commercial developments. We work with trusted products such as Hunter pop up sprinklers, controllers and valves, helping customers create healthy landscapes with minimal water waste.

We also have a specialised drinking water team that works on potable water systems for both individual homes and rural or town supply networks. Their work includes treatment, storage and monitoring solutions, often using tools like Krohne flow meters to support accuracy and compliance.

For local councils and Tier 1 contractors, our team supports the delivery of municipal water and wastewater infrastructure. These projects require compliance, resilience and a long term lens. This often involves pump stations, treatment assets, remote monitoring systems and engineered solutions tailored to community needs.

Backing all of this is our fully equipped service fleet. Our technicians handle repairs, upgrades and field callouts across Canterbury. Jobs range from irrigation breakdowns to electrical diagnostics, pump maintenance and replacement of submersible pumps in both farm and household systems.

A Hub for Trade and DIY Customers

Our Christchurch branch also includes a full trade and retail shop. Landscapers rely on us for irrigation design support, product supply and practical advice drawn from real world experience. We stock leading brands including Hunter, Pedrollo and Lowara, along with fittings, pipe and filtration options.

DIY customers are always welcome. Whether you are putting in a simple lawn sprinkler setup or solving a water transfer challenge, our shop staff can point you in the right direction and help you choose the right parts for your project.

The Places We Know Best

Because our staff live across the region, we have strong local insight into the places we work most. We regularly support customers in:

  • Christchurch
  • Prebbleton
  • West Melton
  • Rolleston
  • Lincoln

We also work extensively in rural areas including Darfield, Southbridge and Hororata. Each area has unique challenges, from pressure management to soil absorption rates, and local knowledge makes a real difference.

Why Local Matters

Water infrastructure is not something you can treat as one size fits all. Canterbury’s conditions make that clear. The work our Christchurch team does reflects the region’s unique mix of land use, climate and growth. The systems we design and support have to stand up to those realities.

Over the years we have built long standing relationships with growers, homeowners, councils and contractors because we approach every job with an eye on longevity, practicality and fit for purpose design. It is the combination of specialist teams, real world experience and regional insight that keeps WaterForce Christchurch at the forefront of irrigation and water solutions in Canterbury.
