Replace a windmill with a Lorentz solar bore pump kit!

Solar bore pump
Windmill in need of repair, to be replaced by low maintenance Lorentz solar pump.

Many contractors now refuse to work on windmills that are unsafe. 

One contractor claims that 90 per cent of the windmills he sees would not meet safety standards, so he often has to fix the frame and platform before starting work on the windmill head itself. 

Many farmers do not like paying contractors to fix these issues. Instead, they try to do the work themselves without the correct safety equipment, which places them and their workers at greater risk of injury.

​Windmill maintenance has always been dangerous. ​With tightening occupational health and safety regulations​, farmers need to be aware of the safety risks and their obligations.
"Solar-powered water bore pumps are perfect for landowners wanting to utilise groundwater resources without the ongoing power costs. In many cases, it is not possible to get a power supply to a water bore or water source​. Therefore Solar is the only practical way. Many farmers are removing their old windmills and replacing them with modern solar bore pump technologies."

Selecting the right bore pump for the job is very important, as is selecting the correct solar combination to drive that bore pump depending on your location and access to sunlight. ​

Solarborepumps is proud to be a Partner with Lorentz
and has selected Lorentz as it Preferred Solar Pump Supplier.
Lorentz - the most efficient solar water bore pumping system available.
Lorentz was founded in Germany in 1993 as a manufacturer of fuel pumping systems and in 1994 began the development of its solar pumps. In 1997, field testing and limited sales of its solar pumps commenced in Southern Europe, Australia, the United States, and South Africa. Lorentz now specialises exclusively in the design, development, and manufacture of solar-powered water pumps and is the benchmark for measuring other solar-powered pumps. Mechanical, electronic, and software design is focused in-house in Hamburg, Germany, with a team working together in solar pumping for more than 20 years.

​Lorentz manufactures its range of products in their facilities in Beijing under strict control by its team, each product undergoing intensive testing before packaging and dispatch. ​Lorentz is active in over 130 countries through a network of trained, professional Partners, undertaking the products' sales and daily customer support.

Here in Australia, Lorentz products are warehoused and managed by a team in Adelaide. This Australia wide product support network looks after spare parts, engineering, and warranty​.

​Can I purchase
​a cheaper product?
When you purchase a product from us, you are paying for a product that has undergone extensive research and development, testing and field trialling in Australia, ensuring it performs in our harsh environment. Local support and an engineering team, off the shelf spare parts, and a warranty are also part of the package.  

These products are designed and tested to meet Australian Standards and design rules and are supplied with English installation and operating instructions. Warranty that exceeds Australian Consumer Laws and the products are safe to install and use.

When you purchase a cheap knock-off product, you get a copy of a engineered and designed product, often made from different materials, that has not undergone a research and development program to meet Australian conditions. ​
It won't have local product support, spare parts or warranty. It may not meet Australian Standards or design rules. It may not have installation or operating instructions in English. When the pump and installed equipment fail, causing damage to the water bore, or other infrastructure, the money saved is insignificant.

"I take many calls when unsuitable equipment, fittings, electrical cable or pump rising main has failed causing the pump and equipment to become stuck in the bore. In many cases, the pump and equipment are a total loss, and a replacement water bore needs to be drilled. Cheap knock-off pumps, electrical cables and equipment can be costly in the long run."

Outstanding advice provided to rectify solar pump issues. Great attention to detail including an obvious depth of knowledge. Have yet to encounter another driller/solar pump tech of this high standard who also provides excellent customer service. Wish we had this company operating in Northern NSW. Raymond Drum

WINDMILLS REPLACED BY
​Lorentz SOLAR WATER BORE PUMPS

Picture
Windmills have been part of the Australian landscape since the first windmills were imported from America around 1870. Early water bores were sunk to depths of up to 200 feet in the Great Artesian Basin, opening up vast new areas for grazing. A Brisbane company began manufacturing windmills in Australia soon after that, allowing the use of water bores and windmills to extend throughout Australia. Many windmills are still used today but are becoming more expensive and difficult to maintain due to changing regulations and requirements.

Solar Power has replaced many traditional windmills throughout Australia over the last decade. Solar-powered water bore pumps have become more efficient, more reliable and more cost-effective in this time. New solar installations can be incorporated into existing water bores and infrastructure.
​
Lorentz, Franklin Electric and Grundfos, world leaders in solar water bore technology, have used Australian conditions to design and test their products for the world markets. The solar industry has experienced rapid growth over the last 20 years; this technology has also been applied to the pumping industry, with excellent results for the end-user.

Solar-powered water bore pumps are now one of the only viable options for new water bores where the main power supply is unavailable. This allows the water bore to be sited in a suitable location without supplying mains power. This type of installation can be completely independent of the main power supply. In periods of low sunlight or increased demand for water, a portable generator or backup power can be connected to a pump system to maintain a 24-hour supply.
​
Australia is very suited to the use of Solar technologies and now ranks in the top ten countries regarding installed solar power capacity. Increased production volumes have dramatically reduced the cost of panels to our Australian market. The technology required to take the solar power and convert it into pumped water has also come a long way in the last decade.

pumps - Pre-assembled

​Our pump kits are pre-assembled in our workshop. The motor is fitted to the pump end, the electrical cable spliced to the motor cable, ready to attach to the Crusader Flexibore on-site and slide the pump assembly down the borehole. Concrete the post in, and you're prepared for the fitting of the panels. Plug the cables in and start pumping. Written instructions and phone support included—all you need to make the project a success.

Transportation of Lorentz solar water bore pumps

​Solar-powered water bore pump sets can be transported easily to their installation destination and installed using modern products and techniques. Crusader Flexibore is our preferred pump column for all pump kits and local installations. The Flexibore can be transported in a small package and is designed for use in bores up to 200 metres deep. It can be supplied with an installation roller to aid pump installations at depths greater than 40 metres, where installation by hand is more complicated.

Correct Sizing and Matching

​Currently off the shelf Lorentz solar water pumping sets can deliver up to 450 Litres per minute (7,000 gallons per hour) and head pressures of up to 250 metres. Making solar-powered water delivery very flexible and suited to a wide range of applications, including pumping from boreholes, creeks, dams, wells and rivers.
Correctly sizing the pump system and matching it with the solar array is essential. Incorrectly sized systems will not work at all, or if they do, it won’t be for long. Important points to consider include maximum water yield from the water source, depth to water and pumping water level, head required to deliver water to the desired use, water quality, maximum diameter of the pump, volume of water needed, the storage capacity of the pumped water, available sunlight and cost.
