What is a solenoid valve?

Looking for Garden solenoid

We often get calls from customers who are having issues with their reticulation systems. One of the common problems is solenoid valve stuck open or faulty solenoid wiring.

This device is 24 volt and is normally underground. It’s purpose is help your reticulation system change from one station to another automatically.

In some cases customers are not aware of the location of their solenoid valves in their reticulation systems. We have reticulation repair specialists who use a cable locator to locate any missing solenoid valves or broken wires.

We are up for any retic challenge as illustrated here with this missing solenoid in Thornlie being found under this heavily rooted plant in the garden. We service Thornlie, Gosnells, Parkwood and nearby suburbs on a daily basis.

Call Troy on 9246 0111 for prompt service and repairs and keep your garden lush and beautiful over the summer months.

Our mobile retic service techs fix solenoid problems all over Perth. We have a lot more information on location and repair of faulty solenoid valves on our main website HERE

Bore Perth, New Water Bores

New water bore Baldivis

We have drilled a number of submersible water bores in the new residential parts of Baldivis.

The depth to water in Baldivis is generally 5-10 metres so the completed submersible water bore could be between 18 and 24 metres.

There is a ridge in the area so bores can be as deep as 30 metres.

We are very experienced in drilling submersible water bores in these new areas like Highbury Park and Heritage Park. Call us to talk about your new water bore that will save you money on 9246  0111 or for more information on submersible bores look HERE.

New submersible bore Bedford

 

We service and repair centrifugal bore pumps in old wells as well as new submersible pumps.

Not often do we find on old bore well in the Perth metropolitan area that is set in such an idyllic back yard as this one in Bedord.

It is actually inside a chicken coop surrounded by contented chickens. After years of faithful service and watering a bountiful vegetable garden it is finally beyond economical repair.

This old style well is in chicken coop.

It is a 35 foot climb down a ladder inside the concrete well liners to the pump. Beneath the pump is a 49 foot spear. Unfortunately the bore is pumping sand indicating the spear has collapsed. This old bore is quite deep for Beford, as the house is at the top of a hill.

The best solution here is to drill a new submersible bore on the front lawn and install a new submersible pump on the front lawn to match the flow required by the existing reticulation system.

For your bore repair or service needs in Bedford, Inglewood, Maylands or any Perth suburbs call 92460111.

New Water Bore Nedlands

We have drilled a new submersible water bore in Nedlands to a depth of 22 metres. It is popular in the area to have a water bore to water gardens and lawns. The depth to water in the area is mid range and we would normally use a 1.1 KW submersible pump and motor.

There was no access at the front of this Nedlands property for our bigger water boring rigs so we gained access using a trailer mounted rig. We manoeuvred the rig off a narrow back lane using the trusty old Landcruiser.
