House Water Systems

Reliable water pressure starts with good system design.

A domestic water system is much more than selecting the right pump.

WaterForce designs complete house water systems that consider household water demand, pressure requirements, storage capacity, filtration, treatment and future expansion. Whether your water comes from a bore, rainwater tank, storage reservoir or surface water source, we ensure every component works together to provide reliable water throughout your home.

Our systems incorporate quality pumps and smart pump controllers to deliver consistent water pressure while protecting equipment and improving efficiency.

Bore Pumps & Submersible Pumps

More than simply lowering a pump into a bore. Selecting a submersible bore pump requires careful planning.

Many properties require the same bore pump to fill storage tanks, supply irrigation, support stock water and provide reliable household pressure. WaterForce designs bore pumping systems around total water demand, ensuring the pump, storage, pressure system and water treatment equipment work together correctly.

Using premium Lowara, Grundfos, Pedrollo and other leading submersible pumps, we design systems that provide reliable water supply while allowing for future irrigation, additional buildings or changing household requirements.

A reliable water system isn't created by selecting the biggest pump. It's created by designing every part of the system to work together.

Water Treatment & Smart Pump Controls

Every water system should work as one complete solution. Many rural properties require water treatment, filtration or UV disinfection before water enters the home.

Designing these systems correctly is essential. Depending on pump capacity, water quality and household demand, water may need to be filtered before storage, transferred through additional treatment stages or supplied using separate transfer pumps.

WaterForce designs complete water systems incorporating filtration, UV treatment, pressure vessels, tank level monitoring, Presflo pressure controllers, variable speed drives, soft starters, direct online (DOL) controls and remote monitoring where appropriate.

By considering the entire water system from the beginning, we help homeowners avoid costly modifications later.

Pump Servicing & Emergency Repairs

Fast, experienced pump servicing when you need water most. When your water pump stops, you need more than replacement parts. You need experienced technicians who can restore your water supply quickly.

WaterForce services domestic water pumps, bore pumps, pressure systems and submersible pumps throughout New Zealand. Our crane trucks and Hiab-equipped service vehicles allow us to safely remove and reinstall deep bore pumps, reducing downtime and getting households back on water sooner.

We also provide preventative servicing, fault finding, pressure testing and system upgrades to maximise reliability and extend the life of your pumping system.

Lifestyle Block Irrigation & Stock Water

One pumping system, multiple jobs. Lifestyle properties often require a single pumping system to supply household water, irrigate gardens, fill storage tanks and provide reliable stock water.

WaterForce designs integrated pumping systems that balance flow, pressure and storage requirements across every application. Whether supplying a few paddocks, irrigating lawns and gardens or pumping water to elevated storage tanks, we ensure the system is designed for today's needs while allowing for future expansion.

Solar pumping systems, remote monitoring and automated tank level controls can also be incorporated where mains power is unavailable or additional automation is desired.

Rainwater Harvesting & Storage

Turn rainfall into a reliable water supply. Rainwater harvesting is an increasingly popular solution for rural homes, lifestyle blocks and off-grid properties throughout New Zealand. A well-designed rainwater collection system provides a dependable water source while reducing reliance on bores, community supplies or water cartage.

WaterForce designs complete rainwater harvesting systems that integrate roof collection, water storage tanks, domestic water pumps, filtration and smart controls into one reliable solution. Every system is tailored to the property's roof catchment area, household demand, rainfall patterns and future water requirements.

Whether you're collecting water for household use, garden irrigation, stock water or a combination of applications, we ensure the entire system works together efficiently while maintaining reliable water pressure throughout the property.

Frequently asked questions

Find answers to some of our most common home water pump questions.

How do I know what size water pump my house needs?

Choosing the right house pump is about much more than the number of taps in your home. WaterForce designs domestic water systems by considering your water source, household demand, flow and pressure requirements, irrigation needs, storage tanks and any future expansion.

Whether your water comes from a bore, rainwater tank or surface water source, we ensure the entire system works together to provide reliable water pressure throughout your home.

Can WaterForce replace or upgrade my existing house pump?

Yes. Many domestic water systems can be upgraded without replacing the entire installation. We regularly replace ageing house pumps, improve pressure systems, upgrade pump controls, install variable speed drives and modernise older pumping systems to improve reliability and energy efficiency.

We can also assess your existing system and recommend practical improvements based on your household's current and future water requirements.

What pump brands do you supply and service?

WaterForce supplies and services many of the world's leading domestic water pump brands, including Lowara, Grundfos, Pedrollo and DAB Pumps.

Our technicians can also service many existing pumping systems regardless of who originally installed them, providing repairs, maintenance, fault finding and replacement advice when required.

What is the difference between a surface pump and a submersible bore pump?

Surface pumps are typically installed above ground and draw water from storage tanks, rivers or shallow water sources. Submersible pumps are installed below the water level inside a bore or well, making them ideal for deeper groundwater supplies.

WaterForce designs both surface and submersible pumping systems, selecting the most suitable solution based on your property's water source, household demand and future water requirements.

Can one bore pump supply my house, stock water and irrigation?

Yes, in many cases it can, but only if the system is designed correctly.

Many rural properties require one pump to fill storage tanks, supply household water, irrigate gardens and provide stock water. WaterForce considers flow rates, pressure requirements, storage capacity and peak demand across the entire property to ensure every part of the system works together reliably.

Can WaterForce design a complete water system for a new home or lifestyle block?

Yes. We specialise in complete domestic water systems for new homes, lifestyle blocks and rural properties.

Our team can design the pumping system, storage tanks, filtration, water treatment, pressure systems, irrigation supply, stock water supply and controls, ensuring every component is correctly matched before construction begins.

Why is water system design so important?

A water system is only as good as its design.

For example, a bore pump may be correctly sized to fill a storage tank, but it may not provide the correct flow or pressure for water treatment, household demand or irrigation. In some cases, additional transfer pumps or separate storage tanks may be required to ensure filtration and household supply operate correctly.

By considering the complete water system at the design stage, WaterForce helps avoid expensive modifications and performance issues later.

Do you install water treatment and filtration systems?

Yes. WaterForce designs complete domestic water systems that can incorporate filtration, UV treatment, pressure vessels and smart controls where required.

Every system is designed around the property's water quality, household demand and pumping system to ensure reliable water supply and effective treatment.

What pump controls do you install?

WaterForce designs pumping systems using the most appropriate control solution for each application.

Depending on the system, this may include Presflo pressure controllers, variable speed drives (VSDs), direct online (DOL) starters, soft starters, smart tank level controls and remote monitoring to improve reliability, efficiency and ease of operation.

Can WaterForce service submersible bore pumps?

Yes. Our experienced service technicians maintain and repair submersible bore pumps throughout New Zealand.

Where required, our crane trucks and Hiab-equipped service vehicles can safely remove and reinstall submersible pumps, allowing faults to be diagnosed quickly and helping restore water supply with minimal downtime.

Do you supply water tanks as well as pumps?

Yes. WaterForce supplies complete domestic water systems, including water storage tanks, pressure systems and pumping equipment.

We work with leading New Zealand manufacturers including RX Plastics, Bailey Tanks, Devon Tanks and Promax to ensure the right tank size, configuration and delivery solution for each property.

Can solar pumping be used on a lifestyle block?

Yes. Solar pumping is an excellent solution for lifestyle blocks, remote homes and properties where mains power is unavailable or expensive to install.

WaterForce designs Lorentz solar pumping systems for household supply, stock water, tank filling and garden irrigation, integrating storage tanks and smart controls to provide reliable off-grid water supply.

Can WaterForce service water systems that weren't installed originally installed by WaterForce?

Yes. We regularly service and upgrade domestic pumping systems installed by other contractors.

Whether you need a replacement pump, pressure issues resolved, a bore pump serviced or a complete system assessment, our technicians can help restore reliable water supply and identify opportunities to improve system performance.

Why should I have my water system professionally designed rather than simply replacing the pump?

Many water supply problems aren't caused by the pump itself. They result from the way the overall system has been designed.

A professionally designed domestic water system considers the water source, storage capacity, household demand, pressure requirements, filtration, irrigation supply, stock water requirements and future expansion as one integrated solution. WaterForce designs complete water systems that balance these requirements, helping homeowners achieve reliable pressure, efficient operation and fewer unexpected problems over the life of the system.

Is rainwater harvesting suitable for my home or lifestyle block?

Yes. Rainwater harvesting is an excellent option for many rural homes, lifestyle blocks and off-grid properties throughout New Zealand. A professionally designed system combines roof collection, water storage tanks, domestic water pumps, filtration and pressure control to provide reliable household water throughout the year.

WaterForce designs complete rainwater harvesting systems using quality pumps from brands including Lowara, Grundfos, Pedrollo and DAB, together with water storage solutions from RX Plastics, Bailey Tanks, Devon Tanks and Promax. Every system is tailored to the property's roof area, rainfall, household demand and future water requirements.

I needed a reliable and efficient system. I chose WaterForce - because they provide the best solution and back up service. When you need an irrigation and water management expert I recommend WaterForce. They’re one of the best selections I’ve ever made!

Steve Hansen

As a farmer I was always at the mercy of the weather, so I approached the number one irrigation team at Waterforce. They designed and installed a centre pivot irrigation system. For the first time ever my sheep and cattle have always had access to fresh grass and I've got the freedom to plant any crop knowing there will always be a positive outcome.

Tim Cookson

We did not like the dirty water coming out of our taps, and became concerned about the water our children were drinking. We went online and found an under-bench water filter from WaterForce. We now know the water our family drinks is perfectly healthy and without the taste of chlorine.

Just to let you know we’ve had our water tested following the installation of our Nitrate filtering system, and are very happy with the result of 0.34g/m3. Our test result last year was 7.3g/m3, up from 6.6 in 2020, so the system appears to be working well. Thanks for helping us with this problem your patience answering all our questions!

Graeme Warren & Marie McCoy

Rang up Sam and got some quotes to install a solar water system over about 140 hectares of hill country in about July or August of last year, and to be honest I haven’t touched it since. It’s just worked faultlessly. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sam and the Waterforce team.
