Protecting Your Pump Houses and Well Sheds
If you’re running a livestock operation, you likely have at least one pump house or well shed on your property. These buildings are critical to your watering systems, housing essential components such as pumps, pipes, heaters, and pressure tanks that move water to where it's needed. They deliver water to remote troughs in pastures, watering bowls in corrals, and other buildings on your property.
Your pump houses and well sheds are a central hub of your livestock operation, ensuring your livestock have access to water. However, unexpected problems can happen at any time. Common issues that can disrupt your water supply include:
- Pump breakdowns
- Water leaks
- Power outages
- Burst pipes
- Heater failures
- Freezing
If these problems aren't diagnosed and resolved quickly, they can lead to livestock water outages and cause significant damage to your system. Undetected issues often result in costly repairs and hours of labour to get everything back up and running.
How can you prevent this?
With the HerdHand Water Monitor, you can keep a close eye on your pump house and well shed at all times. The HerdHand lets you monitor water pressure and temperature remotely, notifying you when pressure and temperature fall outside their normal range. This early detection helps prevent water outages and stops freezing or equipment failures before they escalate into larger, more expensive problems.
