Agricultural Water SolutionsIrrigation · Livestock · Wells · Pivot Systems
Vertical turbine pumps from Goulds Water Technology for agriculture and irrigation — high-volume well pumping, pivot irrigation, livestock water, and orchard supply across Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and the Southwest. Lineshaft and submersible configurations available.
Common Agricultural Water Needs
Match your operation to the right Goulds product family below.
Pivot Irrigation
Center-pivot irrigation systems requiring high-volume pumping from drilled wells. DWT lineshaft turbine is the standard choice for pivot supply.
Flood & Furrow Irrigation
Field flood irrigation requiring very high flow at moderate head. Larger DWT bowl sizes (12"–20") deliver 2,000–8,000+ GPM capacity.
Drip & Micro Irrigation
Pressurized drip systems for orchards, vineyards, and row crops. Variable-speed Aquavar controllers maintain precise pressure across zone changes.
Livestock Water Supply
Cattle troughs, pivot fill, and barn service for ranch operations. Submersible jet pumps and small DWT turbines for moderate-volume livestock supply.
Orchard & Vineyard Supply
Sustained-pressure water for orchard sprinklers, vineyard drip, and fruit-rinse stations. VIS submersible turbines for deeper wells with quieter operation.
Existing Turbine Replacement
Replace aging or failing turbine with new equipment, or rebowl and rebuild your existing Goulds turbine. Lubbock, TX Customer Service Center supports both.
Featured Agricultural Product Families
Goulds vertical turbines are manufactured at the Lubbock, Texas plant — heritage Texas turbine manufacturing for the Southwest agricultural market.
DWT Lineshaft Turbine
Deep Well · Agricultural Workhorse
The Goulds workhorse for agricultural irrigation. Motor at the surface for easy electrical access, hydraulics submerged for efficient pumping. Glass-lined cast iron bowls with bronze bearings throughout.
Bowl Size5" – 20"
FlowTo 8,000+ GPM
HeadTo 1,000+ ft
LubricationWater or Oil

VIS Submersible Turbine
Borehole Submersible · Quieter Operation
Submersible vertical turbine for deep-set well pumping. Quieter at the surface than lineshaft (motor is submerged), easier installation in slightly-crooked wells. Pairs with NEMA submersible motors.
Bowl Size5" – 13"
FlowTo 1,600+ GPM
HeadTo 1,230+ ft
Pump Shaft100,000 PSI Stainless

Aquavar Pump Controllers
VFD Pressure Control · Variable Speed
Aquavar pump controllers from CentriPro, including the Intelligent Pump Controller and Aquastart soft-start. Designed by hydraulic engineers for precise control of speed, pressure, flow, and level. Pairs with DWT and VIS turbines for variable-speed irrigation.

Agricultural Sizing Decisions
Common decisions where engineering input ensures the right turbine configuration the first time.
Lineshaft (DWT) vs Submersible (VIS)
DWT: easier electrical service, more material flexibility. VIS: quieter, easier in crooked wells, better for deep settings. Most pivot irrigation uses DWT.
Bowl Size Selection
Bowl diameter sized to required flow at duty point. Bowls run most efficient at design point — oversized bowls operate inefficiently at part load.
Number of Stages
Required head divided by per-stage head capacity determines stage count. Multi-stage turbines develop substantial head while maintaining efficient impeller geometry.
Variable Speed (Aquavar) vs Constant Speed
VFD makes sense when irrigation zones vary, demand changes through season, or pressure precision matters. Across-the-line for steady high-volume duty.
Water Lube vs Oil Lube
Water lube: simpler, lower cost, intermittent service. Oil lube: continuous service, abrasive water, deep settings. Most agricultural irrigation uses water lube.
Material Selection
Glass-lined cast iron handles most well water. Hard iron or high chrome for sandy / abrasive content. 316 SS for chloride exposure. Match to water analysis.
Why Watermain Supply for Agricultural Goulds
Goulds vertical turbines are manufactured at the Lubbock, Texas Customer Service Center — the heritage Texas turbine plant servicing agricultural and industrial water across the Southwest. Pattern shop, foundry, manufacturing, and warehousing all integrated. Local manufacturing means faster delivery and direct factory support for Texas agricultural projects.
Engineering-led pump selection. Agricultural turbine selection involves more variables than centrifugal pumps — bowl sizing, stage count, lubrication method, motor selection, and material specification. We confirm well log data, water analysis, and required duty point before quoting.
Rebowl, rebuild, and repair on existing units. Aging Goulds turbines (or competing brands) can often be rebuilt rather than replaced. Rebowls upgrade efficiency, rebuilds restore worn pumps to factory spec. We coordinate through the Lubbock service center.
Houston-based, Gulf Coast and Southwest focused. Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and New Mexico agricultural service. Faster shipping than out-of-region distributors, and direct technical support for field service issues.

Agricultural Goulds — Frequently Asked Questions
DWT lineshaft or VIS submersible — which for pivot irrigation?
DWT lineshaft is the standard for pivot irrigation — easier electrical service access, more material flexibility, and well-understood maintenance. VIS submersible is preferred when noise is a concern (residential proximity), the well is slightly crooked, or installation depth is significant. Both deliver excellent service for agricultural duty.
Can I replace just the bowls and reuse my existing column?
Yes — rebowls are a common Goulds service. If your column assembly, motor, and discharge head are in good condition, replacing just the bowl assembly upgrades pump efficiency without the full cost of new equipment. We coordinate rebowl service through the Goulds Lubbock Customer Service Center.
What's the lead time on a vertical turbine?
Common DWT and VIS sizes with standard column lengths typically run 8–12 weeks. Custom configurations (specific column lengths, non-standard materials, large bowls, custom controls) can run 14–18 weeks. Rebowls and repairs are often faster than new equipment. Exact lead time confirmed on every quote.
Should I add VFD control to my irrigation pump?
VFD control (Aquavar IPC) makes sense for irrigation systems with varying zone demands, drip irrigation requiring precise pressure, or seasonal demand variation. For steady high-volume flood irrigation duty at constant pressure, across-the-line operation is often more cost-effective. We confirm based on your irrigation system layout.
Do you supply submersible motors and accessories?
Yes — submersible motors and the full accessory package: check valves, gate valves, ball valves, flow control, pitless adapters, wire (12 to 0000), heat shrinks, splice kits, tanks, well heads, torque arrestors, gauges, and motor shrouds. We coordinate the complete submersible installation.
What about service after the sale?
Goulds maintains a Lubbock, Texas Customer Service Center supporting Texas agricultural turbine service — rebowls, rebuilds, parts, and field service. We coordinate service requests through the Lubbock plant for our regional customers. Same-day parts service available on common items through the Goulds warehouse network.
