Whether you need equipment for a business, a family farm or your residence, our team can take care of it for you!

Tank and booster pump installations

We can help you solve pressure issues permanently with booster pumps and high-quality storage tanks. These systems not only resolve pressure problems but can also extend the life of your well pump by reducing the number of times it has to turn on. Moreover, a storage tank and booster pump can help your operation to conserve water by reducing the amount of water wasted during times of low demand.

Our storage tanks come in a variety of materials, including plastic, metal and concrete. Each option has its benefits. Plastic tanks are lightweight and easy to install, while metal tanks are more durable. Concrete tanks are the longest lasting, but they tend to require the largest up-front investment.

We also install jet pumps and centrifugal booster pumps. Jet pumps tend to be the more affordable option, though centrifugal pumps are quieter and more efficient.

Our expert team will help you choose the best systems for your operation and identify the ideal location for them. We’ll install your tank with a concrete slab or a bed of gravel and anchor it to the ground to prevent flood-related dislocation. We can then install the booster pump and connect it to the tank’s intake and discharge lines. Once the pump is connected, we’ll test it and take you and your team through its controls.

Constant pressure systems

Another popular solution to water pressure concerns is a constant pressure system. The system’s variable frequency drive (VFD) connects to the well pump and a pressure sensor. The pressure sensor monitors the water pressure in the system. When the water pressure drops below a certain level, the pressure sensor sends a signal to the VFD, which then increases the speed of the pump, raising the water pressure.

Your system’s storage tank provides a reserve of water that can be used to supplement the flow from the well. This is especially important during times of high demand.

A constant pressure system reduces water waste and extends the life of your well pump. It also lowers your energy consumption, because its VFD controls the speed of the pump, which helps to reduce wear and tear on the motor.

Choosing the best constant pressure system for your site requires a professional with extensive training and experience, and the HOT Propane-Pecan Creek Water team has just that expertise.

Submersible and solar pumps

As the name implies, submersible pumps are installed below the water level in your well, making them ideal for deep wells. These pumps are also very efficient and quiet, and they can provide a high flow rate of water. The installation process can require extra drilling and other specialized processes, which our team has the experience and training to accomplish.

For even better efficiency and lower maintenance (and all the cost savings that come with that), you should consider a solar pump, which converts the ample sunlight received by our part of Texas into free energy for your well pump!

Water trough installation for ranches

As a livestock owner, providing fresh and clean water for your animals is essential to their health and well-being. Water troughs provide a convenient and accessible source of fresh water, which helps your animals avoid dehydration and contaminants for better growth and milk production.

Installing an automated water trough can be a cost-effective solution for providing water to livestock, compared to individual water bowls or frequent trips to a water source. And HOT Propane-Pecan Creek Water can even install a solar-powered trough, which offers:

• Cost savings on energy bills
• Lower maintenance
• Independence from grid power — perfect for remote locations
• A reliable source of water for livestock or wildlife
