Blocked Sprinklers? A Bore Water Filtration System Could Be the Fix – Perth Experts
If your garden sprinklers are constantly clogging, your bore water could be to blame. In many parts of Perth, particularly coastal and older suburbs, water bores can deliver water with fine sand, iron deposits, or biofilm. This often leads to blocked sprinklers, poor irrigation pressure, and expensive repairs.
One effective way to fix the problem is by installing a bore water filtration system. Below, we outline the key pros and cons to help you decide if this is the right solution for your property.

✅ Benefits of Installing a Bore Water Filtration System in Perth
- Stops sprinkler blockages caused by sediment, iron and debris
- Protects your reticulation system and extends its lifespan
- Improves water quality, reducing rust stains and odours
- Saves money over time by avoiding repeat repairs
- Custom filtration solutions to match your water chemistry and bore setup
❌ Things to Consider Before Installing a Bore Filter
- Upfront installation cost varies depending on bore output and filter type
- Ongoing cleaning and maintenance is required for peak performance
- May reduce water pressure slightly if not sized correctly
- Doesn’t solve deeper bore issues, such as damaged casing or collapsed screens
