Repair Water Bore Trigg

The modern submersible water bore at property in the Perth coastal suburb of Trigg wasn’t working.

The reticulation controller seemed normal and the green light on side of bore start box was still coming on. Nothing tripping in meter box.

The man for the job was Dave, our bore electrician, who has been solving these sorts of mysteries for years.

He tested everything and found the fault with the illuminated green rocker switch on the bore control box

He isolated it and this Trigg modern submersible water bore and the reticulation now working with crystal clear water.

Repair old style well

Fix or Replace Old Style Well

We were called out to a customer in Wembley to repair their old style well. You can normally recognize these as they have a tin lid.

Our specialist servicemen found the well was drawing sand because the screen below the ground had collapsed.

It was decided to replace the old well and centrifugal pump after many years of faithful service with a modern submersible water bore.

You will see in this vision how the sand is flushed out of the reticulation pipes with crystal clear bore water from the modern submersible bore.

A submersible bore only has a 10 by 10 inch lid which can be dropped below the lawn or garden or even the driveway. It is invisible and silent from the surface.

Do I repair my old style well?

You will see many old style wells with a tin lid around Perth. Many are up to 70 years old and some have been dug by the home owner in the ’50’s and ’60’s.

My father dug the well for our family home in Applecross and it is still working.

This old well-style bore is still limping along but will eventually need replacing. A submersible bore will be the way to go.

Many older Perth well style bores still giving faithful service after years of pumping bore water to the garden. Our specialist service team can keep them ticking over with a few industry tricks, priming solutions and centrifugal pump replacements.

Sadly though sometimes they are beyond economical repair and need to be “retired”. The best solution can be replacing with a modern submersible bore. Submersible bores have a small green lid which is usually ‘hidden’ under the lawn or garden. Submersible pumps are silent and very economical.

Call Virgin Bores to discuss a new submersible bore for your home and ask us how will it work, how long it will take and how economical will it be. Want to get an idea of cost for a new water bore at your house click HERE

Water Bore Repair Floreat

This week our specialist bore electrician, Dave, called on a customer in Floreat reporting their submersible motor was tripping the circuit breaker in the meter box.

Dave found the one horsepower 2 wire submersible motor was not fused and the windings appeared intact but there was a complete dead short to earth.

The retic controller turned on the 2 wire submersible bore via a 24v relay in this Floreat bore

At a minimum the submersible motor needed replacing but given the age of the unit it was decided to replace the wet-end (pump) as well and down hole electrical cable and stainless steel draw wire. Our submersible pump installer, Adam, will attend and install the new pump and motor and cables down the bore hole. There was no electrical junction box at the bore head so in this case Dave will return and one will be added for easier servicing in the future.

Dave  found the bore head under a hedge  near the letterbox.  nice detective work Dave!
