Another rebore completed this time in Bateman. The customer had a four liner bore, at the front of the property with a Davey Dynaflow pump. The old PVC 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 $1800 and $2500.

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 rebore. Installing 80mm 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 3m below the base of the well liners. The Bateman 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. Aquarian Drilling Perth Bores & Pump are Perth’s Rebore specialists. We rebore old wells that other contractors say cannot be fixed. (saving you the expense of installing a submersible pump).
