Aquarian Drilling

Aquarian Drilling provides professional water bore drilling, bore repairs, pump services, specialist bore electrical and reticulation repairs throughout Riverton and Perth’s southern suburbs. With over 30 years of experience, we diagnose and repair existing bore systems as well as drill and equip new water bores for residential gardens and irrigation. Our approach is to assess the bore, pump, electrical equipment and reticulation as a complete system before recommending repairs or replacement.

Riverton Ground Conditions & Water Bore Repairs

Water bore systems in Riverton include both older well-style installations with surface centrifugal pumps and more modern bore equipment. When an established system loses pressure, stops producing water or repeatedly develops pump problems, the cause needs to be properly diagnosed before expensive components are replaced.

Problems can involve the centrifugal or submersible pump, non-return or check valves, suction pipework, electrical controls, bore water level, bore condition or the reticulation system. A pump that has run dry, for example, may be the result of another problem within the bore or pumping system rather than simply a failed pump.

Aquarian Drilling assesses the bore, pump and associated equipment as a complete system. Where necessary, this can include checking bore condition and water availability, pump operation, valves, electrical controls and reticulation faults to establish why the system failed and determine whether repair, rehabilitation or replacement is appropriate.

Water Bore Drilling & Repair Experience in Riverton

Aquarian Drilling has extensive experience diagnosing, repairing and maintaining water bore systems throughout Riverton and Perth’s southern suburbs. Our work includes centrifugal and submersible bore pumps, non-return and check valves, electrical controls, bore rehabilitation, older well-style installations and bore-fed reticulation systems.

When a Riverton bore system develops a fault, replacing the failed component does not necessarily address the reason it failed. A pump that has run dry or suffered bearing and seal damage, for example, may require investigation of the bore water level, suction system, check valve and bore condition before the pump is repaired or replaced.

We can also investigate associated controller, solenoid, wiring and reticulation faults. By assessing the complete installation, Aquarian Drilling can provide an independent diagnosis and explain the practical repair, rehabilitation or replacement options before further work proceeds.

FAQs

How deep are water bores in Riverton?

Water bore depth in Riverton varies between properties depending on groundwater levels, bore construction and local ground conditions. Older properties may also have well-style or spear-type installations that differ considerably from modern drilled bores. The existing installation should therefore be assessed individually rather than assuming a standard depth or construction.

My Riverton bore pump has run dry — should I just replace the pump?

Not necessarily. If a bore pump has run dry, it is important to investigate why before repairing or replacing it. Possible causes include falling water levels, loss of prime, a faulty check or non-return valve, suction problems, restricted bore performance or other faults within the system. Replacing the pump without identifying the underlying cause may result in the same problem occurring again.

Do you handle pump repairs and replacements?

Yes, we repair, replace, and recommission both submersible and centrifugal pump systems.

Can you provide a quote for bore drilling or repairs?

Yes. We provide quotations for new water bore installations and can assess existing bore, pump and reticulation systems before recommending repairs. Diagnostic and site assessment charges may apply depending on the work required.
