Water Pumps
Shop water pumps online with Installed Today for mains water pressure boosting, rainwater supply, rain harvesting, garden watering, tank water and household pump applications. Compare trusted pump options from brands such as DAB, Davey, TotalFlo, Bianco and other recognised pump suppliers.
Water pumps are used for different jobs around the home. Some customers need stronger mains water pressure for showers and taps. Others need a rainwater pump for tank supply, a rain harvesting setup with mains backup, a garden watering pump, or a practical pump for an off-grid home, shed, granny flat or acreage property.
Installed Today makes it easier to compare water pumps online by application, brand, flow, pressure, power, pump type and household use. Choose supply only if you already have your own licensed installer arranged, or select supplied and installed options where available in eligible Brisbane and Gold Coast service areas.
Supply Only Water Pumps Across Australian Metro Areas
Supply-only water pumps are ideal if you already have your own plumber, pump technician or licensed installer arranged. This option suits homeowners, trade customers, builders, property managers and renovators who need the product supplied without installation included.
The product price is for the pump only. Installation, fittings, valves, pipework changes, electrical work, pressure vessel changes, controllers, bases, weather protection, trenching, access upgrades and compliance work are not included unless selected separately or shown as part of the chosen option.
Before ordering supply only, check the pump suits the water source, pipework, pressure requirement, flow demand, power supply, installation location and intended use. A pump for one garden tap is different from a pump for whole home pressure, rain harvesting or mains water boosting.
Supplied and Installed Water Pumps in Brisbane and Gold Coast
Supplied and installed options may be available on selected water pumps in eligible Brisbane and Gold Coast service areas. This option is useful when you want the pump and installation arranged together instead of buying the pump separately.
Installation availability depends on the selected pump, property location, water source, existing setup, access, pipework, valves, electrical requirements, pressure requirements and any extra work needed. Some sites may require additional fittings, plumbing changes, electrical work, weather protection, base work or compliance upgrades.
If you are unsure whether a pump is suitable for your property, compare the application first, then check the product details and installation options before ordering.
Shop Water Pumps by Application
Choosing the right water pump starts with the job you need it to do. The best pump for rainwater harvesting may not be the best pump for mains pressure boosting, garden watering or off-grid whole home supply.
Common water pump applications include:
Mains water pressure boosting
Rainwater tank supply
Rain harvesting systems
Garden watering
Irrigation
Tank water pressure
Off-grid whole home supply
Shed and granny flat water supply
Acreage and rural water use
Light commercial water pressure
The right pump depends on water source, distance, number of outlets, pipework, pressure requirements, flow demand and how often the pump will run.
Mains Water Pressure Boosting Pumps
Mains water pressure boosting pumps are designed to help improve weak or inconsistent water pressure where the property and local requirements allow it. These pumps are commonly considered when showers feel weak, taps are slow, or pressure drops when more than one outlet is used.
Variable speed pressure systems such as DAB pump options are often compared for mains boosting because they can help deliver smoother pressure and adjust to household demand. These systems can suit homes where consistent pressure is important, especially across showers, bathrooms, kitchens and laundries.
Before choosing a mains water boosting pump, the setup should be checked carefully. Incoming pressure, pipe sizing, water authority rules, backflow requirements, pump location, noise, power supply and household demand can all affect pump suitability.
Rainwater Pumps
Rainwater pumps are used to move water from a rainwater tank to taps, toilets, laundries, gardens, irrigation systems, sheds or household fixtures depending on the plumbing setup.
A rainwater pump needs to match the way the tank water is being used. A basic garden watering pump may only need to run a tap or hose. A household rainwater pump may need to supply toilets, laundry fixtures or several outlets. A higher-demand setup may need stronger flow, better pressure control or a more advanced pump system.
When comparing rainwater pumps, check the tank location, suction distance, pipework size, number of outlets, expected flow, required pressure and whether the pump will be used occasionally or every day.
Rain Harvesting Pump Systems
Rain harvesting pump systems are designed for homes that use rainwater from a tank while also needing mains water backup. These systems are commonly used for toilets, laundries, garden taps and selected household applications depending on the property setup.
Davey RainBank systems are a popular example of rain harvesting technology. They can help manage automatic changeover between rainwater and mains water when tank water is low or unavailable.
Rain harvesting systems may suit new builds, renovations, homes with existing rainwater tanks, properties using rainwater for toilet and laundry supply, and customers replacing an older rainwater changeover setup.
Before ordering a rain harvesting system, check tank size, plumbing layout, mains backup requirements, pump model, controller setup, number of outlets and installation location.
Garden Watering and Irrigation Pumps
Garden and irrigation pumps are used to supply hoses, garden taps, sprinklers, irrigation zones and outdoor watering systems. These pumps are commonly connected to rainwater tanks, outdoor water supplies or dedicated garden water setups.
A pump for garden watering should be matched to the number of taps, hoses, sprinklers or irrigation zones you want to run. A small garden may only need a compact pump, while larger gardens, acreage blocks and sprinkler systems may need stronger pressure and flow.
Bianco and Davey TotalFlo pump options are commonly compared for garden watering, rainwater supply and practical residential pump applications.
Off-Grid Whole Home Water Pumps
Off-grid and tank water homes need pumps that can supply reliable pressure to household fixtures. These setups may include homes, cabins, granny flats, sheds, workshops, acreage properties and rural buildings using tank water as the main supply.
For off-grid whole home use, pump selection is important because the pump may support showers, taps, toilets, laundries and outdoor fixtures. The pump needs to suit the number of outlets, pipework, water source, pressure expectations and daily usage.
A small garden pump is usually not suitable for whole home supply. For off-grid or whole-home tank water, compare pump capacity, pressure control, flow rate, durability, noise, weather protection and service access before ordering.
DAB Water Pumps
DAB water pumps are commonly compared for premium mains pressure boosting and modern household pressure systems. DAB E.Sybox and DAB E.Sybox Mini options are popular for customers wanting compact design, smart pump control and variable speed pressure performance.
A DAB pump may suit homes with low water pressure, larger households wanting smoother pressure, townhouses, rainwater supply systems and selected light commercial applications.
DAB is often a strong choice where pressure consistency, compact design and smart control matter more than choosing the lowest upfront pump cost.
Davey Pumps and TotalFlo Pumps
Davey pumps are widely used across rainwater, household pressure, garden watering and rain harvesting applications. Davey RainBank systems are a popular choice for rainwater harvesting with mains backup, while Davey and TotalFlo pressure pumps can suit tank water, garden and general residential water supply.
TotalFlo is a Davey pump range commonly used for practical residential and trade-style applications. TotalFlo pumps are often compared for garden watering, rainwater tank supply, small household pressure and everyday pump replacement jobs.
Davey and TotalFlo pump options may suit customers wanting dependable pump performance for tanks, gardens, homes, sheds and light commercial use.
Bianco Water Pumps
Bianco water pumps are commonly chosen for garden watering, rainwater tanks, irrigation, small household pressure and value-focused residential water supply. Bianco INOX pump options are often compared for practical garden, irrigation and tank water applications.
A smaller Bianco pump may suit garden watering or light residential use. A stronger model may suit irrigation, larger gardens, small off-grid homes, sheds or higher-demand tank water applications.
Bianco pumps can be a good option where the customer wants practical pump performance without necessarily moving into premium variable speed pressure systems.
Choosing the Right Water Pump
Choosing the right pump is about matching the product to the water problem. A pump that is too small may struggle with pressure or flow. A pump that is too large may cost more than needed and may not suit the system.
Before buying a water pump online, consider:
Water source
Mains water, rainwater tank or other supply
Number of outlets
Pressure required
Flow rate required
Pipework size
Distance from pump to outlets
Suction distance from tank
Garden or household use
Irrigation zone requirements
Power supply
Pump noise location
Weather exposure
Access for servicing
Existing pump model if replacing
Whether mains backup is required
If you are replacing an existing pump, check whether the old pump performed well before it failed. If it struggled with pressure, flow or demand, replacing it with the same size may not solve the issue.
Water Pump Installation Considerations
Water pump performance depends heavily on the installation setup. Even a good pump can perform poorly if the pipework, fittings, suction line, electrical supply or controller setup is not suitable.
Important installation considerations include:
Pump location
Pipe sizing
Valves and fittings
Electrical supply
Weather protection
Base or mounting surface
Noise location
Suction line condition
Tank outlet location
Pressure controller setup
Access for future servicing
Backflow requirements where applicable
Compliance requirements
For supply-only orders, your own licensed installer should confirm the pump is suitable before installation. For supplied and installed options, availability depends on the selected pump, site details and service area eligibility.
Water Pump Buying Guide
What type of water pump do I need?
The right pump depends on the application. Choose a mains pressure boosting pump for weak household pressure, a rainwater pump for tank supply, a rain harvesting system for tank water with mains backup, a garden pump for outdoor watering, or a household pressure pump for tank water supply to fixtures.
Can a pump increase mains water pressure?
A mains pressure boosting pump may help improve weak water pressure where the property and local requirements allow it. Suitability depends on incoming pressure, pipework, water authority rules, backflow requirements, power supply and installation conditions.
What pump is best for rainwater tanks?
