Repair or Install Water Bore Perth’s Coastal Suburbs

Pictured is the bore start box for a submersible water bore at a home in the coastal Perth suburb of Trigg.

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 have been in the water boring business for nearly 20 years and can install and repair your water bore. We have the experience and the knowledge to work out what is wrong with your water bore if it needs repair.

Shared water bore

Perth Shared Water Bore 

Joe, our bore and reticulation man, has been busy.  He is connecting a neighbour to an existing submersible water bore in the northern Perth suburb of Pearsall. If you are interested in sharing a water bore with your neighbour call us on 9246 0111

With a shared water bore each house can use its own reticulation controller to run the submersible pump on their own watering days.

Joe disconnected the reticulation system of the neighbour and this is generally done at the master solenoid valves. For further information on a shared water bore in Perth click HERE for more information.

Bore automation

Bore Automation Perth

We are automating an old bore in the southern Perth suburb of Shoalwater.

As pictured it is an old style well with a tin lid.

The sprinkler system is currently manually operated with five inground gate valves. This is common with these older style Perth water bores.

We can repair old style wells which have a tin lid

We will replace manual valves with 24  V solenoid valves which will be wired into a new reticulation controller. Our electrician will do the interface to start the bore automatically via a 24 V relay.

We do this type of Perth bore automation quite regularly with single station bore automations from as low as $750.

If you are in Perth and we can help you with a bore automation check out our website HERE or call one of our team on 9246 0111

New Water Bore Carine

Today we visited a new customer in the northern suburb of Carine. Their home is in a lovely cul de sac and they wanted to talk to us about a water bore in time for this summer.

We recommend a 26 metre bore for their Carine house.  The borehole would be drilled through Tamala limestone and the bore would be air developed or reverse flushed prior to installing the pump.

Our drilling teams have done many water bores in Carine and the surrounding areas of Karrinyup, Trigg and North Beach. In fact after 17 years in business this will be the fourth water bore we have done in this Carine street.

New Water Bores, Southern River

New water bore Southern River

We are going to be drilling at this property in Southern River. We have a lot of experience in the area and can be contacted on 9246 0111.

We have drilled a lot of water bores in the Southern River area and know the conditions well. The depth to water at this property in 4.3 metres and we would drill 18 to 20 metres into water.  The ground conditions in Southern River can vary with interspersed layers of clay which can inhibit ground water. For this reason we often allow extra slotted casing, extra gravel packing and extra air developing to help compensate.

Southern River home with new submersible bore
Location of new water bore in the Southern River area

We would use a good quality Italian stainless steel pump, a 1.1 kw motor coupled to a 12 stage wet end.

We attend the property to talk to our client about their requirements and about where to drill their water bore. We aim to drill close to the metre box to minimise costs to the client. Pictured is where we are looking at drilling at this property.

We also service and repair water bores, bore pumps and reticulation systems in Southern River and surrounds including Piara Waters.

We have installed a submersible pump in a 20 metre bore in the front yard of a new house being built in Cloverdale.

This Cloverdale water bore will be under the driveway in this southern Perth suburb near the airport.

New Water Bore Nedlands

We have drilled a new submersible water bore in Nedlands to a depth of 22 metres. It is popular in the area to have a water bore to water gardens and lawns. The depth to water in the area is mid range and we would normally use a 1.1 KW submersible pump and motor.

There was no access at the front of this Nedlands property for our bigger water boring rigs so we gained access using a trailer mounted rig. We manoeuvred the rig off a narrow back lane using the trusty old Landcruiser.

Reticulation controller

Problems with retic controller

Leave a comment

If you’re having a problem with your reticulation controller it’s worth trying a factory reset or we will talk you through it on 9246 0111.

This drops all programming and brings the retic controller back to factory default. Different brands and even individual models of the same brand controllers have ways of resetting. Your  irrigation / reticulation controller manual should list how to reset the controller.

Once you have done the factory reboot don’t forget to reprogram all your settings for your allocated watering days.

This info from Hunter relates to their most common models.
