There are several elevated Perth suburbs require a deep submersible water bore.

One of those suburbs is Doubleview. For this Doubleview customer we drilled to 58 metres through mainly limestone and sand. The water bore is connected to existing reticulation and the electrical connections have already been done. In this case we are consolidating the client’s two existing controllers into one. This is because we have far more flow from the bore.  A small rectangular green plastic lid will be place over the hole and it will be covered in grass.

We have installed a 1.5 kw stainless-steel submersible pump which is delivering about 80 litres a minute.

Some other parts of the Perth metropolitan area that require deep submersible water bores are near the water tower in City Beach, the elevated parts of Kardinya and Sinagra near Wanneroo.

Our drilling teams at Virgin Water Bores are very experienced in drilling deep submersible water bores. If you are in an elevated position and would like to save money with a water bore give us a call on 9246 0111 or find more information about deep water bores on our webiste HERE

Fix Master solenoid valve Wanneroo

Craig is one of our reticulation service team and he had had fun at this job in Wanneroo 9246 01121.

We took some time to locate and fix this master solenoid valve at the Wanneroo home of one of our customers. Fortunately the householder had a plan of their reticulation system, it saves a lot of time and money.

Surprisingly common to also find such a corroded manual gate valve that isolates the retic from the mains water supply which is often just near the water meter.

Fix old well Nedlands?

We do see some picturesque scenes in some beautiful Perth gardens.

Underneath this tin lid in a lovely Nedlands garden is an old style well. The ladder goes down about 15 metres to a pump. One of our specialist team diagnosed that the pump had failed.

Given the age and condition the best solution here is to start again with a new submersible bore and stainless steel pump. The garden will soon be enjoying fresh groundwater again.

If you have an old style well with a tin lid in Nedlands or the surrounding areas of Dalkeith, Mosman Park or Cottesloe and would like to talk about the costs of a new submersible water bore call David on 9246 0111.

New Water Bore Rossmoyne

 

Watching this video you can see this new Rossmoyne Water bore is gushing with water and there is only a small pile of sand from the water bore drilling process for this 18 metre submersible water bore in Rossmoyne.

It was drilled  with the portable drilling rig in the Rossmoyne backyard because there was restricted access. Groundwater was encountered at only 4.5 metres down.

Here we see the bore being flushed as groundwater is forced to the surface by compressed air alone. At the same time the “mud tank” is being given a clean. It was used for the recirculating drilling fluids during rotary mud drilling.

The next thing we will install the submersible pump and connect to the retic system.

Fix old well North Perth

Fix North Perth old well

We fix old style wells in the North Perth area. These old style wells have concrete liners, a visible tin lid and a centrifugal pump. Call us on 9246 0111.

We marvelled at the workmanship of this North Perth well which we think is about 50 years old. The water delivery had become sluggish and the centrifugal pump appeared to be running backwards. Our specialist electrician attended to see if the phases have been reversed on the incoming 3 phases.

We specialise in fixing old style wells. If the well is beyond help we would be able to drill a new style sleek submersible water bore.
