Brief History
On 1 April 2011 Industrial & Farm Services Ltd officially changed their trading name to Think Water Bay of Plenty and joined the Think Water group.
Based in Te Puke, we are water pump, frost protection, irrigation, reticulation, soak hole & dairy milking machine specialists with 32 years experience in the Tauranga / Papamoa / Bay of Plenty region, New Zealand.
We can help you with new Grundfos, Davey, Speroni, Lowara or Onga water pumps, drainage, irrigation, kiwifruit frost protection or water system design, supply, installation and ongoing maintenance.
Our technicians are on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week & respond to problems with milking machines, water supply, pump repair or breakdown issues.
Water is our business. We are proud to have been service providers for this vital ingredient to our local economy for over 30 years.

Mike manages the workshop and is responsible for final layout and fabrication of the big diesel frost protection/irrigation pump units and associated steel piping and framework requirements. As well as tackling specialist stainless steel welding jobs for dairy sheds, Mike can turn his hand to rebuilding or custom fabricating just about anything that is made out of steel.

Now with over 30 years in the business they bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the task of servicing our customer base which extends across the Bay of Plenty and beyond. We have many farming and orcharding customers, some of whom have been repeat customers since day 1.
