History of Onga

From its beginnings in 1967, Onga has grown to be one of the most popular and recognisable pump manufacturers in Australia and New Zealand. They set themselves up to stand out as a company that specifically caters to the conditions faced in Australia and New Zealand in domestic, commercial and industrial environments. Until 1986, the company was privately owned but was then purchased by Sta-Rite USA, owned by Wicor and belonging to the Wisconsin Energy Group. Wicor was then bought by Pentair Water Technologies in 2004, which merged with Tyco Flow in 2012. Today, Onga employs around 100 staff, with a dealer network of more than 300 across Australia and New Zealand.


Why Choose Onga Pumps?

Onga is just one of the brands we offer at Slater Pumps, but it's definitely one of the best. Onga's reputation for offering reliable and durable pumps is well-deserved, thanks to their long history. They combine their experience and knowledge that they have built up over their 50 years in business with the research and development acumen they are able to access through being a part of Pentair. Their product range includes something for everyone, and they use the best technology and innovation to manufacture reliable products. They are truly a brand for the Australian market too, having been founded and grown in the country.


Broad Range of Products

Onga's broad range of products makes them the ideal brand to start with if you're looking for a water product, no matter what it's for. Their product range includes pumps for home and garden, pools, farms, pressure tanks, submersible sumps, water transfer, irrigation, and more. Whether you're looking for an application for your home or your business, you only need to take a look at what they have to offer to find out which product could be most suitable for your needs.

They have set themselves up as an expert in the field and an authoritative voice and innovator.

Having been part of Pentair pumps since 2004, Onga is able to access advanced research and development so that they can continue to innovate.


Domestic Pumps

Many people looking for water pumps hope to use them in a domestic setting. There is a wide variety of applications for water pumps in the home, from swimming pools to pressure systems and garden irrigation. Onga has several product ranges to meet these needs, including jet pumps, the WaterSwitch for rainwater harvesting, and the FloTec range, which is ideal for lawns and gardens. Onga's pool pumps are actually Pentair pumps, which is a leading brand in innovative pool pumps that can be relied upon. Many people want an Onga spa pump with a heater too, and these are also available to find for your home.


Commercial Pumps

Businesses can also benefit from Onga's selection of pump types. Their pumps can be useful for commercial premises in much the same ways as they are used for domestic purposes, from landscaping to improving water pressure. Businesses can benefit from their water pump products such as their pressure tanks, water transfer pumps, and engine drive firefighting pumps, which help to protect properties everywhere. Investing in sophisticated pump technology is a priority for many businesses, whether their aim is to save money, protect their premises or simply improve their business environment for staff and customers. Many businesses use Onga pumps in similar ways to domestic applications, although often on a slightly larger scale.


Industrial Pumps

Onga pumps have a number of industrial applications, which include solutions for irrigation together with Southern Cross. Their water supply pumps are often implemented in both industrial and rural situations, and they also have horizontal multistage pumps and centrifugal pumps. In industrial environments, water pumps need to be reliable and durable to stand up to demanding applications. Heavy duty equipment that lasts for a long time and comes with dedicated service for maintenance and repairs helps businesses and other organisations to keep their businesses running without technical problems getting in the way.


Agricultural Pumps

Onga began by manufacturing and selling pumps for farming applications, and they continue to provide pumps for agricultural purposes today. The brand's Farmmaster range is specially designed to meet the needs of farmers and others in the agricultural field. They are built with durability in mind so that they last a long time, even when being tested by the demanding needs of an agricultural environment. Onga's strong and versatile pumps can be tailored to meet specific farming needs and are available in both shallow and deep well configurations to ensure the perfect setup for everyone's needs. Their products have interchangeable internal elements, making it easy to adapt them to specific requirements.
Warranties and Service
All Onga pumps are covered by a warranty of between one and five years. Most products have a one-year or two-year warranty. This helps to protect any of your purchases during the first year or two after you buy them to ensure they are excellent quality. If any problems occur while the pump is still under warranty, customers can get in touch with the company for repairs or replacement. It's always best to understand the terms of the warranty when you buy a new pump, so remember to read it when you buy an Onga product. Although Onga products come with a reassurance of excellent quality, knowing that the warranty is available should you need it is helpful. Onga provide excellent service if you need it and technical support helps you to maintain your pumps when you need assistance.


Onga Spare Parts

To keep an Onga pump going, you might find that you require spare parts for repairs or just for routine maintenance. Fortunately, Onga spare parts are readily available from their dealers. You can check the Onga website for a list of parts that are available for their products if you need to know which parts you require. You can find PDF documents with technical information so that you make sure you get exactly what you need. Any reputable dealer like Slater Pumps will help you to source the parts you require and can help you to make any necessary repairs too.
