When Sarah and Shayne Coombe needed to install power at their effluent pond, they took the opportunity to assess their full irrigation setup and design a system that would be safe, efficient, and future proof.
After considering their options, they chose a complete solution centered around the Williams 6 Drum Pontoon, paired with trusted Yardmaster components and a Greenback irrigator to deliver reliable, hassle free irrigation directly from the pond.
To create a robust and easy-to-manage effluent system, the Coombes installed; Williams 6 Drum Pontoon – providing a stable and secure floating platform, Yardmaster Effluent Pump & Stirrer – ensuring consistent flow and pond agitation, Floating Delivery System – allowing for reliable and flexible pumping, Auto Greasers – eliminating daily maintenance and improving on-farm safety, Extended Mainline – increasing irrigation reach and paddock coverage, Williams Greenback Travelling Irrigator – delivering even and precise effluent application
With the system now in place, the Coombes are seeing major improvements in operational efficiency, safety, and irrigation performance. The auto greasers alone have reduced hands on maintenance while removing the need for regular access to potentially hazardous areas around the pond. The addition of the Williams Greenback travelling irrigator means effluent is now applied consistently and evenly across the paddocks supporting better pasture growth and compliance with environmental regulations.
Shayne and Sarah Coombe took a strategic approach to their effluent system upgrade choosing quality components that deliver long term reliability, safety, and performance.
With the Williams 6 Drum Pontoon, Yardmaster pump and stirrer, and the Greenback irrigator, they’ve created a solution that’s working efficiently now and ready for the future.
