How to Use Them Together

If you are planning a new borehole, the first three tools follow the natural order. Start with the cost calculator to see what your project might cost, then use the savings calculator to see how quickly that cost pays back.

Next, the pump and tank selector tells you what equipment you will need. Farmers should add the irrigation calculator first, since your crop water demand sets the borehole yield you need.

If you already have a borehole, the problem diagnoser is the place to start when something is wrong, and the solar savings calculator shows what you could save on electricity.

By the time you call us, you already know your numbers. That makes the conversation faster and the quote more accurate.
