Why Your Farm Needs an Automatic Water Pump Controller in 2026?

Indian farmers lost over ₹1.2 lakh crore in 2024 because of water wastage and high electricity bills on irrigation pumps. Most of this loss came from pumps running empty (dry run), unnecessary night-time running, and daily trips to the field just to switch the motor on or off.

In 2026, make your farming better with one simple device which can stop all these losses: an automatic water pump controller like Varun S1, S2 or S3 from Dyulabs.

Here are the 7 biggest reasons every Indian farmer needs it this year.

1. Save 30-50% on Electricity Bills – Instantly

A regular motor pump runs 4-6 hours extra every week because farmers switch it on “just to be safe”. Varun automatically switches OFF the pump when the field is fully irrigated or when the borewell water level drops. Real result from Tamil Nadu farmers using Varun: average saving of ₹18,000–₹28,000 per year on electricity.

2. No More 5-6 km Daily Travel to the Field

Most small and medium farmers still walk or ride a bike 2–3 km one way just to start or stop the pump. With Varun S1 you get 3 km reliable RF remote – no internet, no SIM needed. Varun S2 & S3 give unlimited range through mobile network or app. One farmer in Banaskantha saved 5.3 km travel every single day – that’s 1,900 km saved in a year!

3. Complete Dry-Run & Overload Protection (Saves Your Motor)

80% of submersible and open-well pumps burn because of dry run. Repair cost? ₹25,000–₹80,000. Varun has built-in dry-run protection, overload cut-off, high/low voltage protection and phase-failure guard. Learn more about how Varun protects your motor from burning. Farmers using Varun report zero motor burn cases in the last 2 years.

4. Works Even Where Internet Never Reaches

Most rural areas have zero or very weak internet. Wi-Fi or IoT controllers simply fail there. Varun S1 works purely on RF mesh – 3 km range, no internet, no SIM, no recurring cost. Varun S3 is India’s first dual-mode controller: use RF remote when near the field, use mobile app when you are in the city – automatically switches mode.

5. Schedule Irrigation and Make your Farm Smarter – Even While Sleeping

Set daily or weekly schedules from your phone. Water the field at 4 AM when electricity is cheaper and evaporation is lowest. Varun’s mobile app lets you create unlimited schedules for different crops and soil types.

6. Save Water – Save the Future

Indian agriculture wastes 40-60% of pumped water because of over-irrigation. Varun stops the pump exactly when required – farmers using it saved 15,740 metric tons of water collectively in the last 18 months. Less water pumped = less diesel/electricity + healthier groundwater levels.

7. 2-Year Replacement Warranty + Zero Maintenance

Varun comes with rugged, weather-proof body and 2 full years replacement warranty – not repair, full replacement. DIY installation in 15 minutes, no technician needed. Watch step-by-step installation video here.

Real Farmer Story (Rajasthan, 2024)

Mohanbhai from Barmer used to spend ₹12,000 every season on electricity and travel. After installing Varun S1 (RF remote only), his bill dropped to ₹4,000 and he never visits the field to switch the motor.

Ready for 2026?

Electricity rates are rising 8-12% every year. Water tables are falling. Labour is getting costlier. An automatic water pump controller is no longer a luxury – it is a necessity.
