Effluent Pond Pumping in the Waikato
Paramount Effluent pumps effluent ponds and sumps for dairy farms across the Waikato. Whether your pond is nearly full after a wet spell or you want it emptied before winter, we can pump it when you need it and spread it on your paddocks in the same job.
Pond and sump pumping when you need it
A full pond leaves you with no storage when the weather turns and puts you at risk of breaching your consent or council rules. We pump your pond down to a safe level so you have the storage you need, and we spread the effluent through our umbilical system and dribble bar so the nutrients go back onto your pasture or crop.
Stirring first for a cleaner pond
Before pumping, we stir your pond with a jet stirrer or prop stirrer to break up crust and mix the solids. The jet stirrer can also wash down clay-lined walls. We can pump effluent with up to 15% solids, which cleans out your pond and frees up more of its capacity.
Fast pumping, less disruption
We can move up to 300 m³ of effluent an hour. The effluent travels through up to 1.6 km of hose, so there are no tankers on your races and no interruption to stock movements.
