For farmers across the UK, managing water is a critical task, whether it's for irrigating crops, providing fresh water to livestock like cattle and horses, or ensuring proper drainage after heavy rainfall. The ability to move water quickly and efficiently can make a huge difference in the day-to-day running of a farm. But for many farmers, the cost of setting up an extensive irrigation system or the reliance on an unreliable power grid can make these essential tasks more complicated than they need to be.
We proudly offer portable water pump kits as an affordable, practical, and easy-to-use solution for farmers looking to solve their water management needs without the hassle of heavy infrastructure. Whether you’re managing a small farm in Cornwall or a large agricultural operation in Yorkshire, these mobile water pump systems offer flexibility, cost savings, and simplicity.
Moving water where you need it
One of the most important benefits of portable water pump kits is their flexibility. Unlike traditional fixed irrigation systems or stationary pumps, these kits can be easily moved to wherever water is needed, making them perfect for farmers who manage multiple fields or livestock areas. Whether you're looking to irrigate crops in one area or water your horses in another, our mobile pump kits give you the ability to adapt and move swiftly to meet changing situations.
Consider a typical UK farm with several pastures where horses and cattle roam. A portable pump can be easily moved to different fields, providing fresh water to livestock where they need it most. If the pasture on the far side of the farm experiences dry spells, the pump can be moved there to ensure your animals never go without. Similarly, in the event of heavy rainfall, a portable pump can be repositioned to drain water from low-lying fields quickly, helping prevent flooding and ensuring that your crops aren’t damaged.
In regions like the South West of England, where rainfall can be heavy and frequent, being able to easily move a water pump to clear standing water after a storm is invaluable. With a portable water pump, farmers can avoid waterlogging and reduce the risk of soil erosion or crop damage, all without needing to invest in expensive and fixed drainage infrastructure.

An investment that pays off
The affordability of mobile water pump kits makes them an attractive option for farmers who may be working with a limited budget. The initial investment for these kits is much lower than installing large-scale irrigation systems or relying on diesel-powered pumps, which can become expensive to run over time.
For example, a small-scale farmer in Norfolk who raises horses and grows vegetables may find that purchasing a portable water pump kit offers a much more cost-effective solution than installing an extensive irrigation system or paying for electricity to run traditional pumps. The cost of maintaining these mobile pumps is also minimal, as they don’t require the constant purchase of fuel or the upkeep that traditional systems demand.
Moreover, battery-powered water pumps and solar-powered kits are not only easy to use but also reduce ongoing costs. In rural areas where electricity costs are higher or unreliable, farmers can save money by relying on these low-maintenance, energy-efficient pumps. Whether using solar power to run the pump during the day or relying on a battery-powered system, farmers don’t need to worry about high fuel or electricity bills. Be aware that that battery water pump does not include the battery but is sold seperately.

Perfect for busy farmers
Farmers are often juggling multiple tasks, and their time is precious. The last thing a busy farmer needs is a complicated water system that requires constant maintenance or expert technical knowledge. Thankfully, portable water pump kits are designed with simplicity in mind.
Our water pump systems are intuitive, easy to set up, and can be used without specialised training. For farmers who don’t have the time or resources to learn complicated machinery, our mobile pump kits provide a straightforward solution. These systems are designed to be “plug and play,” meaning they can be quickly assembled, put into action, and then packed away when not in use. For many farmers we do recommend the solar water pumps as a sustainable and affordable solution, especially when water is needed in remote areas.

We often recommend solar water pumps to farmers as a practical and cost-effective solution, particularly for providing water in remote areas where access to traditional power sources may be limited. |
For example, a dairy farmer in Somerset may need to move water quickly from a well to water his herd of cows. With a portable water pump kit, the farmer can set up the system in minutes, ensuring the animals receive fresh water without wasting time on complicated setups. In addition, when the task is complete, the farmer can easily store the pump kit in a shed or barn, ready for the next use.
Multiple uses around the farm
Portable water pumps aren’t just for irrigation—they offer a range of useful applications that can make daily farm life easier. From draining flooded areas to providing emergency water supplies, these kits are versatile and multifunctional.
When the weather turns wet, fields can quickly become waterlogged. A portable pump can be deployed to remove excess water, preventing damage to crops and soil. For farmers with livestock, keeping water supplies fresh is essential, and a mobile water pump can make this task much easier. Whether it’s moving water from a nearby stream or refilling troughs in multiple locations, these kits provide the flexibility needed to meet the water demands of both animals and crops.
In areas of the UK that experience sporadic rainfall, farmers can use portable pumps for irrigation during drier spells. For example, a farmer growing vegetables in Norfolk may rely on a portable pump to draw water from a nearby reservoir, ensuring their crops stay hydrated during a particularly dry summer. When rainfall is less frequent, these mobile pumps provide an affordable and practical way to keep crops irrigated without needing an expensive, permanent irrigation setup.
Ideal for farms of all sizes
Whether you have a small hobby farm in the Cotswolds or manage a larger operation in the Midlands, mobile water pump kits are suitable for farms of all sizes. Smaller farms benefit from the affordability and portability, while larger farms appreciate the flexibility and scalability these systems offer. If a farm’s needs grow or change, the same pump kit can be upgraded or adapted to handle larger volumes of water, offering a truly scalable solution.
Take, for instance, a livestock farmer with a large herd of cattle. During the summer months, the farmer can move the portable water pump kit to ensure all his animals have fresh drinking water, even in remote parts of the farm. In winter, the system can be used to drain fields where water tends to accumulate, protecting the soil and preventing damage to crops. This versatility makes mobile water pump kits indispensable, regardless of the farm’s size.
