Thanks Angela for letting us know you were happy with the supply and installation of your new reticulation controller at your house in Armadale.
One of our specialist electricians installed a new 6 station reticulation controller. It has a back-up battery and a built in transformer hardwired into mains power and the installation of a multi core tail to solenoid location in ground.
If your reticulation controller needs replacing, call Troy on 9246 0111.
We repair modern submersible water bores all over the Perth metropolitan area. Our friendly and expert team are ready to help.
Clive recently contacted us with a problem with his bore. Tom attended and quickly diagnosed the problem as a fused motor. He pulled the faulty motor and replaced it with a new motor.
Thanks, Clive, for the feedback about Tom and the team – ‘very experienced’ – ‘pleasant to deal with’ – ‘arrived at the agreed time’ – ‘highly recommended’ – ‘quote was also competitive.’
If you your water bore is faulty, call Troy on 9246 0111.
One of our customers in City Beach was reporting low pressure on his garden bore
We sent our reticulation guy who said it is popping the overload and it was working when he first got there,
So we sent our electrician who found the capacitor in the start box had melted as you can see in this picture.
So he swapped the capacitor and the relay and all is working.
If you need your modern submersible bore repaired in City Beach or the surrounding suburbs of Wembley or Scarborough call 9246 0111 or go to our website www.virginbores.com.au
We look after this old style well in the Southern Perth suburb of Applecross hidden in the large back yard of a quarter acre block.
The old well was dug in the 1950’s and has 4 concrete well liners with a three horsepower pump at the bottom of the well.
It has a hydro indexing valve which is very usual to see in a Perth reticulation system. Even the curious magpie has stopped to have a look.
The system uses 2 zones one at the front and one at the rear. Instead of solenoid valves it uses the hydro indexing valves to change from one zone to another each time the system is turned on.
These larger blocks in older suburbs provide a place for children to play and a safe haven for birds and wild-life.
We have had twenty years experience repairing old wells in Applecross and the surrounding Perth suburbs of Ardross and Mount Pleasant. Call us on 9246 0111 or check out our website HERE
As you can see this Applecross home has a beautiful green garden and lawn with a plentiful supply of water.
If your bore pump needs replacing and you live in Carramar or the surrounding suburbs of Wanneroo, Joondalup or Neerabup we can help you on 9246 0111.
Submersible pumps are very reliable and normally don’t require any pre-emptive maintenance or repair. However, on occasion, they may be susceptible to lighting induction or fusion. It is best to get a specialist bore pump technician or electrician to repair or replace your submersible pump. It will save time and money when you do the job properly. We can also advise on whether any bore pump motor damage may be covered in your household insurance if you have fusion coverage.
Here we are replacing a 1.1 kW single phase submersible pump in the Perth suburb of Carramar. We also replaced 28 metres of downhole electrical cable with special rubberized bore cable and stainless steel draw wire in this 34 metre deep Carramar garden water bore.
Our specialist bore electrician will then return to install a junction box and test. Once the pump is up and running we will connect back to the reticulation and make sure all is OK.

“That’s the good part of it…that’s your bore water”
Virgin Bore’s most experienced driller, George, is always pleased to see the first rush of bore water after drilling a water bore. Virgin Bores is always happy to deliver a plentiful supply of crystal clear water for their Perth customers.
Immediately after drilling a garden bore to the required depth, the bore is air developed as seen here. Even before the submersible pump is installed. Most garden bores drilled in Perth are drilled by the rotary mud method.
To clean out the drilling muds and “fines” we pump compressed air down inside the bore casing. At this stage air alone forces the groundwater up to the surface.
If you are considering a water bore and live in the greater Perth metropolitan area call on 9246 0111 or get a BORE QUOTE HERE

Virgin Water Bores recently drilled, cased, developed and gravel packed a 18 metre submersible bore in the Perth suburb of Brabham.
A .75 kW submersible motor was used for the Brabham water bore.
In the next few days after the drilling the electrician and reticulation team connect the new water bore to existing reticulation and bore box.
As pictured, we also supplied and installed a tap and pressure release valve.
If we can help you with water bore repair in Brabham or a new water bore in Brabham, call Troy on 9246 0111 or find out more here
DID YOU KNOW – the Perth suburb of Brabham is in the City of Swan. It was formerly known as Henley Brook. It was gazetted in 2011 and was named after Australian Motor Racing Champion Sir Jack Brabham (Source: Wikipedia)
Driving around Perth at the moment you will see people back in their front yards pottering, weeding and checking their water bore and reticulation sprinklers.
David in Ocean Reef has a shared modern Sumoto submersible water bore with his neighbour.
He called us on 9246 0111 when his bore was not starting on his side but his neighbours was working. They have a Sumoto submersible pump.
We sent out our specialist bore electrician, Dave.
The 1 amp glass fuse in the reticulation controller was blown. He replaced and all is working OK.
We suspect there may be an intermittent fault in the 24 volt start wiring of the shared bore coming from the neighbours retic controller

We repair and install many water bores and reticulation systems in the Floreat area.
Here we have drilled a water bore and our man Jack returned to connect to the existing reticulation system.
If you live in the Floreat area and would like to save money with a water bore call Virgin Water Bores on 9246 0111 or go to the website HERE
Most new bores we drill in Floreat are between 18 metres and 30 metres in depth depending on the properties elevation. Typically new submersible bores in Floreat cost between $3400 and $5500 depending on depth and size of submersible pump chosen.
When we are called to a Perth home to repair a water bore, we need to know that location of the water bore hole.
It is great when the home owner knows the location of their water bore. If the home owner has bought a home with a bore they may not know.
The modern submersible water bores have a green lid which can we covered with lawn, garden bed or as you see here aggregate or liquid limestone in a driveway. The water bore is normally drilled in a drive way if there is tight access for the drilling rig in the garden and lawn of the home.
Adam will cut the bore casing down to below ground level then install the submersible pump and green bore box over the top. Once our electrician has connected it up and we connect to reticulation the paving or the driveway cut out will be put back and everything tidied up.
It is worth noting that it is the old-style wells that come with a tin lid that looks like a witches hat.
So if you are buying a house with a water bore get as many details as you can about the bore like location and depth so that if your water bore needs repair you can call us on 9246 0111 and we can do the best job possible.
