Anyone thinking of buying a new water pump has several things they need to consider.
Key factors to be considered before purchase include flow rate, debris, elevation, and power source.
Flow rate refers to the number of litres of water pumped per hour.
Bigger Boyz Toyz new diesel cast iron pump range has been designed to get maximum flow while maintaining excellent pressure to allow the transfer of water when needed from a dam or waterhole.
"With a maximum lift up to 102 metres and flow rates up to 150 000 litres/per hour, you can access those long-distance dams or creeks quickly and efficiently," a company spokesman said.
"Any kind of content within the water or other type of liquid being transferred can inhibit a pump's effectiveness if unsuited to the job.
"Transferring simple water, all you need is a transfer pump.
"But if you are pumping solids or debris, you will require a trash pump.
"BBT diesel gusher pumps include a massive 10hp direct injected diesel engine, equipped with electric start and recoil start.
"It has a 100mm outlet for high volumes up to 96000 litres/per hour.
"When you need to deliver water to an elevated position, you will need to determine the maximum head capacity of your application."
