Irrigation Pump Control & Protection

Reliable Irrigation Control for Australian Farms

Practical timers, engine protection panels and low-water protection systems for irrigation pumps, diesel engines, bore pumps, solar pumps and remote water-transfer installations.

✓ Pump timing ✓ Engine shutdown protection ✓ Dry-run prevention

Built for real irrigation conditions

Farm and bore pumps Simple and dependable run-time control.
Diesel irrigation engines Monitor faults and automatically stop the engine.
Solar and remote pumping Detect low-water conditions before pump damage occurs.
Irrigation Solutions

Control pump operating time, protect equipment and reduce downtime

Irrigation systems often operate unattended and in demanding outdoor conditions. A failed timer, low water level, broken belt or engine fault can stop water delivery or cause expensive equipment damage. Bolec products provide practical control and monitoring options for both new installations and existing pump-panel upgrades.

Irrigation Product FAQs

Common questions about irrigation pump timing and protection.

Should I choose the BMT-55 or DCT24ENC?

Choose the BMT-55 when simple mechanical operation and an older ISGUS-style replacement are the main priorities. Choose the DCT24ENC when digital hours-and-minutes adjustment, an OLED display and power-interruption memory are required.

Can the BEM502IRN automatically shut down an engine?

Yes. The panel monitors engine and pump fault inputs and can operate its output relay to stop the engine when a configured fault condition occurs.

Does the WL701 work in dirty water?

The WL701 is intended for practical low-water detection applications, including installations where sediment, minerals or water contamination can make some other sensing methods unreliable.

Can these products directly control a 240V irrigation pump?

Relay ratings and wiring arrangements vary between products. Many applications require a suitably rated external relay or contactor. Mains-voltage wiring must be designed and completed by a licensed electrician.
