What we do
What we cover.
Irrigation and pump repairs
Blowouts and breakdowns happen in the middle of the season. Our field technicians come out, find the fault and repair it, whoever installed the system.
- Blowouts and leaks in mains and laterals
- Pump station and filtration faults
- Automation and controller faults
- Netafim, Rivulis, Amiad, Filtersafe, WiseConn, Motorola and Mait
Dosing and chemical cleaning
Drippers and lines block up over time, and a blocked system waters unevenly. We work out what dosing and cleaning your system needs, and carry out the chemical cleaning.
- What to dose, and how often
- Chemical cleaning of the system
- Scale, algae and slime in drippers and lines
- Advice your staff can follow
Regular maintenance programs
A maintenance program built around your system and your season. It keeps the system performing and lets your staff spend their time on the crop, not on repairs.
- Planned around your season
- Pumps, filtration, mains and field system
- Wear found before it becomes a breakdown
- Repair and maintenance records
System checks and auditing
We check how the system is actually running, block by block. Pressure maps show the weak spots, and fertigation timing maps show how long nutrients take to reach each part of the block.
- Pressure maps showing weak spots
- Fertigation timing maps
- System reviews ahead of harvest
- A list of what to fix first
Staff training and call out support
We train your staff on your own system, so small problems are handled on the day. When something is beyond them, they can call us.
- Training on site, on your system
- Running and checking the system
- Dosing and cleaning routines
- Call out support

Questions
Repairs and maintenance, answered.
Why is my irrigation system not working?
Most breakdowns come down to a few causes: a blowout or leak, blocked filters or drippers, a pump or power fault, or automation that isn't opening valves. Low pressure across the whole system often points to a leak, a blocked filter or a pump problem. Uneven pressure, or wet and dry patches within a block, often point to blocked drippers or a damaged lateral. If you can't find it, call us and a field technician can come out to find the fault and repair it.
Do you do pump repairs?
Yes. Pump station repairs are part of our technical services, along with filtration, automation and the field system. We have our own service facility and equipment for repairs that can't be done on site, and we arrange specialist workshop repairs where they're needed. When you call, tell us the pump make and model, where it is and what it is doing.
Which brands do you work on?
We work on Netafim, Rivulis, Amiad, Filtersafe, WiseConn, Motorola and Mait, among others. It doesn't matter who installed the system. Tell us what is on site when you call, and the technician brings the right parts and tools.
Do you do irrigation repairs around Mildura?
Yes. Our four field technicians are based in Sunraysia and work across Mildura, Robinvale, Swan Hill, Ouyen, Wentworth, Balranald and Euston. For work further afield, travel is quoted up front.
Can you set up a maintenance program for our system?
Yes. We build a regular maintenance program around your system, your water and your season, covering pumps, filtration, mains and the field system. You get a record of what was checked and fixed.
How much does irrigation maintenance cost?
It's priced on application, because every system is different. What drives the price: the size of the property, the number of pump stations and filters, whether automation is included, how often visits are needed, chemical cleaning, and travel. Send the details and we'll come back with a scope and a price.
