Abstract
A mobile pump system can include a frame, a pump device connected to the frame and defining a pump inlet and a pump outlet. The pump device can provide water to a first outlet valve, a filtration system, and a manifold assembly. The manifold assembly can be supported by the frame, can be in fluid communication with the pump outlet, and can include the first outlet valve operable to selectively discharge unfiltered irrigation water from the pump outlet, a second outlet valve in fluid communication with the filtration system and operable to selectively discharge filtered irrigation water. The mobile pump system can further include a control system operably configured to be electrically connected to a power source and the pump device.
Claims20
A method of using a mobile agricultural pump system, the method comprising:
- establishing fluid communication between the mobile agricultural pump system and an irrigation water from a source;
- activating a pump device of mobile agricultural pump system via a control system to draw the irrigation water from a source into a manifold assembly of the mobile agricultural pump system in fluid communication with the pump device;
- discharging at least some irrigation water without filtration from a first outlet valve of the manifold assembly using the pump device;
- filtering at least a some of the irrigation water;
- and
- discharging the irrigation water that has been filtered from a second outlet valve of the manifold assembly.
A method of using a mobile agricultural pump system, the method comprising:
- establishing fluid communication between the mobile agricultural pump system and an irrigation water source, wherein the mobile agricultural pump system comprises:
- a frame;
- a pump device connected to the frame and defining a pump inlet and a pump outlet, wherein the pump device provides water to a first outlet valve and a filtration system that is downstream of the first outlet valve;
- a manifold assembly supported by the frame and in fluid communication with the pump outlet, the manifold assembly including:
- the first outlet valve operable to selectively discharge irrigation water from the pump outlet;
- and
- a second outlet valve in fluid communication with the filtration system, wherein the second outlet valve is operable to selectively discharge filtered irrigation water;
- and
- a control system operably configured to be electrically connected to at least one power source, the pump device, and the filtration system,
- wherein the at least one power source provides power to the pump device, filtration system, and the control system;
- activating the pump device via a control system to draw unfiltered irrigation water into the manifold assembly in fluid communication with the pump device;
- discharging the unfiltered irrigation water from the first outlet valve of the manifold assembly and from the mobile agricultural pump system to a water storage receptacle or another external location;
- and
- discharging filtered irrigation water from the second outlet valve of the manifold assembly via the filtration system and from the mobile agricultural pump system to an agricultural drip, or a sprinkler irrigation system, or an agricultural irrigation system,
- wherein discharging the unfiltered irrigation water from the first outlet valve and discharging the filtered irrigation water from the second outlet valve is controlled by the control system.
A method of using a mobile agricultural pump system, the method consisting of:
- establishing fluid communication between the mobile agricultural pump system and an irrigation water source;
- activating a pump device via a control system to draw unfiltered irrigation water into a manifold assembly in fluid communication with the pump device;
- discharging the unfiltered irrigation water from a first outlet valve of the manifold assembly from the mobile agricultural pump system;
- and
- discharging filtered irrigation water from a second outlet valve of the manifold assembly via a filtration system of the manifold assembly from the mobile agricultural pump system;
- wherein discharging the filtered irrigation water from the second outlet valve is performed concurrently with discharging the unfiltered irrigation water from the first outlet valve.
