If you have a demolition hammer, you can buy or fabricate a driver bit for it to drive rods, stakes and posts.

It might come in handy for staking up columns or driving grounding rods.

Actual Hilti. Drill at the bottom is a TE2 that I bought when I was 17 @
Agostini (Hilti) Trinidad. I’m 34 now, drill was only serviced last year because I felt like it. Service cost was $240 (change of cord and service) paid for parts, service was free because it was bought locally. This drill is a beast and I only use Hilti SDS bits with it.

Now the other tool I bought 3 years ago when it was first released, it’s a
BX3-ME. That’s in another bracket by itself. Google it

looking for some advice

trying to choose a electric water pump
have 2 acres of coconut planted and the neighbours dont take care of their land so ever so often fire does sweep through from 3 sides

looking to put something i can put on a switch and connect to 2 inch pipes throughout the land to flood it as need be

Those pumps could handle dirty pond water with small debris in it? A trash pump may be more suitable

You can use a centrifugal lake irrigation pump with filter inlet or a diapham trash pump.

You won't have enough pump capacity to do much flooding of your property, though. It takes almost 55,000 gallons to cover 2 acres with 1 inch of water.

If WASA has no problem with pumping out the water, you may as well set up a zone irrigation system that sends water to only the areas that you want to water. For two acres, you need 16 zones. You will need to build or buy a valve manifold if you want central control.

I have a 10hp Honda trash pump but that's diesel powered and requires me being there to start it.

In reality 2 acres dont have to flood. Just whichever side the fire is coming from on that specific day.

You still need significant GPM even for partial flooding. Additionally, you may need a pump that does not require priming if time is a factor.

In addition to GPM, you also have to look at total head of the pump. In other words, the back pressure that the pump has to overcome due to discharge piping, piping elbows, friction and whether the flows are going up hill. So when buying a pump you need to factor the maximum head, which is usually quoted in feet of water and ensure that your head is less than what the pump is rated. Flow drops off with greater head (to overcome) so try to keep your head small else your flows will be low.

Note also that many if not all pumps quote a flow and head but the flow quoted is not at the head quoted. In other words, they quote the max flow (which is effectively at zero head) and the maximum head (at which there is effectively no flow). So the max flow is usually never attained from any pump as there will always be a head to overcome.

All this to say that when buying a pump, better to calculate or estimate your head, based on the piping length, size etc and then determine your flow required. After that is known, buy a pump that will give you the flow you require at the head you've calculated.

If you are only interested in peripheral irrigation, the task gets much easier.

I would still use zoning, buried piping to protect it from fire, spray heads, and placement about 10 feet inside of the boundary.

If the land is flat, using 1" pipe for about 200 ft is minimal frictional loss.

A sprinkler control manifold will let you pick where to send the water and can be controlled remotely.

Alternatively, you can put a few thousand gallons on a tank stand, and irrigate from there. Then the pump flow rate becomes unimportant.

Your fire break need not be burned back. Typically, you need an area that is nothing more that grasses that are cut to an inch or two. You can use herbicides year round accompanied with mechanical clearing at the beginningof the dry season.

You may want to consider just having the area clear past your boundary. You are allowed to clear 50 ft beyond your boundary as a fire break into untended lands but you may want research that because I may be in error.

The last two paragraphs likely sum up the easiest option in the short term until a better plan could be put in place for a full scale irrigation system.
