Most pump failures don’t start with the pump.

They start with simple things:
• Systems left running too long
• No protection in place
• Low water levels going unnoticed

Small control issues → Expensive failures.

We see this all the time in irrigation and fire pump systems.

The good news?
Most of it is preventable with simple, reliable control solutions.

Protect Your Engine Before It’s Too Late

Engine damage caused by coolant loss can happen faster than many drivers realise.

A dedicated low coolant alarm gives you an earlier warning—when it matters most.

The Bolec WL701 is designed to provide simple, reliable protection for 4WDs, diesel vehicles, agricultural equipment, and other hard-working machines where engine reliability matters.

If you want added peace of mind before your next trip, workday, or remote drive:

Built from real-world customer demand 💡

Our BEM502IRN Dual Pressure Model was originally developed following a request from an irrigation installer in Bundaberg, QLD who needed reliable dual pump pressure monitoring for a diesel irrigation application.

What began as a custom modification of our proven BEM502IRN watchdog platform has now become part of the standard Bolec product range.

✔ Dual pump pressure shutdown
✔ Murphy gauge configuration
✔ Intelligent watchdog fault memory
✔ IP56-rated enclosure
✔ Designed for harsh irrigation environments

At Bolec, many of our best products start with customer feedback from the field.

Solar pump failures are more common than you think.

One of the biggest causes?
👉 Running dry without warning.

And in real-world conditions — dirty water, sediment, unstable supply — many sensors simply don’t work reliably.

We’ve been getting strong feedback on this:

✔ Works reliably even in dirty water
✔ Prevents costly pump damage
✔ Simple and robust design for real-world use

This system was built specifically for:

* Solar pump systems
* Irrigation setups
* Remote installations

If you're dealing with pump failures or unreliable sensors, this might be worth a look.
