We have just repaired a water bore in Claremont for an elderly client.
We talked to the customer on the phone and identified the fact we needed to send our specialist bore electrician, Dave. He found the submersible pump motor was not working and certified it as fused so the client could claim on her insurance. Her insurance policy covered pump motor fusion. It was quite deep for a Claremont bore so we had to winch the pump up over 30 metres.
We install and repair water bores in the Claremont area and surrounding suburbs of Nedlands and Dalkeith.
We had an unusual service call yesterday (9246 0111) about a submersible bore pump that was producing only about 25% of the water that it normally delivered.
Pump and motor uncoupled showing shaft.
We ruled out all the normal things like a hole in the poly rising main, pump wasn’t running backwards, none of the “normal” causes.??? When we winched the submersible pump to the surface we found the shaft joining the motor to the “wet-end” (pump) seemed OK but on uncoupling the submersible pump we noted inconsistencies. Found the shaft had sheared actually inside the pump leaving the first 4 of 12 impellers still turning. Quite an uncommon fault.
Submersible pump shaft snapped
Further detective work found the unusual auto start device had been turning the pump on/off, on/off incessantly contributing to the failure. Replaced the pump and installed it all back down the borehole with the original motor. Tested and all good now!
