Bore broken

Old style well repair Stirling

There are many old style wells in the Stirling and Balcatta  areas. The area has a very rich history of market gardens.

Dave, our specialist bore pump electrician was asked to have a look at a four liner well at a property in Stirling that was not working.

He found the the 3 phase DOL starter was OK and the pump was actually running but there was no water. We tried to prime but the water was dropping away and not filling at all. He quickly found that it was the check valve that was faulty. So one of our service team will return and replace.

As you can see there is a good safe ladder for our guys to use to repair the well.  We are often faced with unsafe ladders which make our job impossible. Because of safety requirements we will only repair wells that are up to four liners deep.

The centrifugal pump motor down this well in Thornlie is seized up mechanically.

Our specialist bore electrician, Dave, reported it was drawing over 52 amps. The Thornlie pump motor is one well liner down in the backyard if the Thornlie house.

We will now send another member of the team to replace the centrifugal pump and replace the blown fuse wire.

This Thornlie resident will soon be ready for summer.
