Water pumps put in a lot of hard work on your farm. They need to be able to handle the harsh conditions of mud and sand, being moved and knocked around, and sometimes even running dry.
Water pumps should be long-lasting too, and not break down when you need them most or need replacing after only a few harvests.
They should be an asset on your farm that can be relied upon to irrigate season after season.
Aug 2021 Update – At Futurepump, we believe this so much we have just doubled our warranty to 10 years!
This is our promise to you that our solar pumps are built to last and a challenge to the rest of the water pump industry to follow us in making and supporting durable agricultural products!
Your water pump shouldn’t be letting you down
Do you own a petrol pump? How many times have you had to service it in the last year?
Two, three, four times…?
We’ve seen the frustration that is caused by petrol pumps breaking down frequently and needing a service in town or by a local mechanic, costing not only more of your money to fix but also precious irrigation time.
Or have you had a complicated part break on a water pump, that simply can’t be fixed? Or if it can be fixed, the costs are so high it becomes cheaper to just replace it?
This is not only wasteful, but these costs are going to add up. So even the cheapest pump is going to cost a lot over a short period of time.
We’ve heard these stories from farmers time and time again and we are not happy about it. We believe farmers should expect more and get more from their water pumps. It is not sustainable, economically or environmentally, to be throwing away and buying new water pumps because they weren’t fit for purpose or not built to last.
Keep irrigating year after year
You may have read in our recent blog that our long-lasting solar pumps have been through rigorous field testing, getting feedback directly from farmers to inform improvements and designs. This ensures we offer robust, portable and efficient solar water pumps that meet the everyday needs on your farm.
An important part of this work for us is making sure that years after you have purchased your solar pump, it is still irrigating your crops, with easy maintenance and no fuel costs.
And we truly mean this! Each of our solar pumps come with a full 10-year warranty promise, supported by your local distributor who we train to give you expert support when you need it.
But it is not just about our market leading warranty support. We’ve worked hard to design a robust, long-lasting pump that will keep working for you as well as be easily maintained by you in the field too.
As easy to maintain as a bicycle
While Futurepumps have no problems pumping muddy or sandy water, and will happily run dry without overheating, all water pumps will need maintenance to keep them running at their best. Instead of pretending that this isn’t the case, we’ve worked to make this quick and easy to do.
Futurepump solar pumps have been intentionally designed to be farmer fixable. With simple tools and a few spares (provided free with each pump), our solar pumps are straightforward to maintain, and simple servicing can keep your pump running smoothly.
We want you to feel confident in servicing your pump and not have to deal with the frustrations of having to go back and forth to the store.
So, even if we are not there in person, we are always here to help. You can check out our comprehensive support videos on our YouTube channel, which go step by step through some simple maintenance for the pump to keep it working in top condition.
If you do need extra help, as a Futurepump customer, once you’ve registered your warranty you can raise a support case for help from one of our technicians.
It will always remain our priority that you are not left without an irrigation pump – when you invest in a Futurepump solar pump, you’re investing in reliability, durability and peace of mind.
