Green access lids at the top of submersible water bores.
We drill modern submersible water bores in the Perth metro area from 18 metres and as deep as 40 metres.
Drilling the submersible water bore normally takes about a day and as you see here the top of the bore is covered by a green access lid just surface level of the ground so it can then be covered by lawn. Invisible!
We can also drill in a driveway and cover.
Important to keep a record of where the water bore is located just in case it needs repair in the future.

This week George and the team drilled a 38 metre modern submersible water bore in the leafy Perth suburb of Nedlands.
New water bore being drilled in Nedlands
It was drilled through sand and limestone and there was a good supply of groundwater from 24.5 metres onwards.
With no access to the front lawn this one was drilled in the parking area to the side of the drive. Nice clean up again guys!
Once the pump has been put down the bore hole, it will be connected to reticulation. A green bore box will be put over the top and paving will be all put back and everything tidied up.
If you are in the Nedlands area or surrounding areas of Claremont or Dalkeith and have been considering a water bore call us on 9246 0111.
At this Ellenbrook job our specialist water bore electrician Dave found that the capacitor in the bore start box had ruptured. The client had called us on 9246 0111 when their water bore stopped working.
Badly ruptured capacitor in start box.
This start box has a burnt out capacitor.
When our Ellenbrook client reported their bore wasn’t working we talked to them on the phone and asked a few questions to determine who was the best person to send.
As you will see pictured the start box cover was damaged by the burnt out capacitor. After we replaced the capacitor and start box we tested the motor electrically and all was OK. Our electrician carries a meggar tester specifically to send a signal down to the submersible pump motor and back up again to test it against known benchmarks.

Pictured is the bore start box for a submersible water bore at a home in the coastal Perth suburb of Trigg.
Trigg water bore start box
There was an existing reticulation system at this home in Trigg when new water bore was drilled. The reticulation system was disconnected from mains water near the water metre. The retic controller was on a back wall of the house and was wired to send a 24V start signal to this bore start box.
The bore start box is located next to the electrical meter box next to the front door.

We were called to repair an old well that was pumping sand in Mount Pleasant.
The spear has collapsed in the old well and it was producing sand blocking pipes and the solenoid valves.
The most economical solution for the Mt Pleasant home was to replace with a new submersible water bore.
This old bore well is pumping sand
Here we are looking for the solenoids for the reconnection to the new Mount Pleasant water bore.

This client had a water bore drilled in Autumn of last year in a Perth northern suburb.
It was drilled to 35 metres and has crystal clear water. Salt levels were tested at 300 ppm which in this case was fresher than the clients tap water
A year on the garden is flourishing. Watering the garden three a week with the nutrient rich bore water has made a big difference. The home owner’s water bills bring smiles to the face of these keen gardeners every time they open one. These clients are saving well over one thousand dollars a year in water consumption.

Water bores really are the perfect solution in Perth’s hot dry climate with it’s water hungry sandy soils.
Most submersible bores in Perth have either a 1.1 kilowatt ( one and a half horsepower), 1.5 KW ( 2 HP ) or 2.2 KW ( 3 HP ) motor connected to a matching pump ( “wet-end” ) We can answer any questions on your submersible bore on 9246 0111
If the motor is a single phase then ordinarily it will have a start box mounted near the electrical meter box. This often has the kilowatts or horsepower marked on the front. These pictures show the common Sumoto pump start box where the kilowatt selection has been indicated in black markers. This one is 1.1 kilowatt.

For a three phase motor the only reliable way to determine the motor size is to pull up the motor and pump.
We repair modern submersible bores in all Perth suburbs.

We attended a service call to a new home in Piara Waters (a southern suburb of Perth in between Forrestfield, Harrisdale and Banjup near Jandakot Airport) to fix a reticulation problem. They called 9246 0111
They had a recently installed water bore. Unfortunately when the bore had been connected to the reticulation system it had been incorrectly balanced. The output from the submersible pump was over 90 litres per minute as the water table in Piara Waters is only about 2 metres down.
However the reticulation system was using about 20 litres per minute. We combined several stations to come on at once and now their reticulation system is using nearly 80 litres per minute. A far more comfortable flow for the submersible pump and now well within it’s designed operating range.

We drilled a new submersible water bore in this week for a customer in Sorrento 9246 0111.
After nearly 20 years in the “boring business” we have drilled many new water bores on Perth’s coastal strip.
The quality of the water at this Sorrento water bore was great. Salt levels perfect at 450 ppm. We drilled the bore in back yard via side gates as there was no access to front garden near electrical meter box.
Our electrician simply connected it up and over through the roof space. The number of stations on this retic system were halved when we connected the bore to accommodate the extra flow from the 1.5 hp submersible bore pump.

The job didn’t finish after the bore was completed. We then modified the garden reticulation system and added gear drive sprinklers to the verge.
