Another rebore completed this time in Beechboro. The customer had a three liner bore, at the rear of the property with a Davey Dynaflow pump. The old galvanised spear had collapsed and the bore was now pumping sand and the pump had become sand locked.

There seems to be a trend with some contractors. Taking the easy way out drilling new submersible pumps, not prepared to do the hard work and manually rebore the well.

A repair of this nature should cost the customers between $2000 and $2600.

A new submersible bore installation would end up costing over $6000, as you would need a new electrical connection and re plumbing of the new submersible pump.

We performed a standard beechboro rebore. Installing 100mm slotted PVC casing and a new 50mm Brass Alderdice Non Return Valve (NRV). We were able to strip the Davey Dynaflow pump and clean all the sand out.

Depth to water was only 1m below the base of the well liners. The Beechboro rebore was straightforward as we had sand all the way

The customer was up and running at a fraction of the cost to install a new submersible bore.
