Why Use a JD Diesel Water Pump for Irrigation in Kenya?

JD Diesel Water pumps are engineered for heavy duty water transfer in agricultural applications. It provides sustainable irrigation water transfer in remote areas with limited access to electricity.

Buying a reliable diesel water pump is a gamechanger for large farm irrigation. It provides reliable discharge and heads that electric or solar pumps will not match.

Benefits of JD Water Pumps

  • High suction and discharge capacity for river irrigation
  • Durable cast-iron JD diesel water pump head
  • Strong torque performance in remote farms
  • Lower long-term operating cost compared to petrol pumps
  • JD Diesel Pumps can handle long run hours without the engine heating up.

How JD Diesel Water Pumps work

When the pump is started, the impeller rotates pushing water in the suction chamber toward the volute. A vacuum is created at the inlet causing suction to occur. Continuous impeller rotation pushes water to the delivery pipes.

JD Diesel Water Pump Applications in Kenya

JD diesel water pumps are designed to handle demanding water applications. Common uses include.

  1. Large Scale farm Irrigation: they are reliable for pumping irrigation water in large farms.
  2. Water transfer in elevated farms: due to their high suction lift and push, they can push water over hilly terrains.
  3. General Water transfer: used to transfer water from tanks to buildings’
  4. Construction: can be used to supply water in large construction projects.
  5. Dewatering compounds or pits: to remove water in flooded basements.

  • Pump inlet/ Outlet Coupling: for connection of the suction and delivery pipe to the pump.

How to Select the Right JD Diesel Water Pump

Just like other diesel pumps, JD pumps come in different sizes which have varying flow rate, head and fuel consumption rates.

To get the right JD Diesel Pump for your water needs, you must understand:

  • The size of your farm: the farm size tells you how much water you need thus easier to determine the pump that can match that volume.
  • Water Source: by considering the depth of your water source you easily know if the JD diesel engine pump is the right one.
  • Total Dynamic head: the distance from the source to your farm also matters. Check the pumps recommended to identify the one that can move water without high pressure and head losses.
  • Application: your intended use for the pump narrows down the pump search. High pressure pump will be ideal if you are running pressure demanding irrigation system (rain guns, sprinklers and flange sprinklers).

The higher the lift and the water volume needed, the more engine power you’ll require. For example, to get a flow rate of 80 cubic liters per hour at a head of 100M, the engine power needs to be 22Hp or above.

Installation Tips for Maximum Efficiency

Proper installation improves pump lifespan and fuel efficiency.

  • Place pump on level ground
  • Use short suction hoses
