Forget Canberra’s water restrictions and dead lawns through summer. With 14,000 litres per hour from your bore, you will have all the water you need to keep everything lush and green through the hottest summer.

To give you some idea of what 14,000 litres per hour means, the sprinkler opposite puts out 1,500 litres per hour, with 35 psi pressure. That’s not a lot of pressure. You could comfortably run nine of these concurrently, direct from your bore, which would put 2.5mm (10 points) of water on over 4 acres of lawn / garden in just 3.5 hours.

With a 14,000 litre per hour bore, you have the potential for a commercial irrigation set-up. This might involve golf course style pop-ups, a travelling irrigator or other commercial irrigation options.

But even if you don’t go down the commercial path and install a domestic solution, you will be amazed how much simply turning a decent sized sprinkler on around your house on a hot summer day brings the temperature down in your house and garden. Your home becomes a natural sanctuary, without resorting to air conditioning.

With all that water you can also keep your trees growing strongly and keep grass growing for your horses.
