What Is a Bore Pump System?
A bore pump system draws water from an underground aquifer through a drilled bore or well, using an electric pump. This water can be used for household supply, irrigation, livestock, or backup during water restrictions.
A standard bore pump setup includes:
- A submersible or surface-mounted pump
- Control box or pressure switch
- Non-return valves and filtration (optional)
- Pipework to a tank or directly to fixtures
- Optional pressure tanks for smooth water delivery
Bore pumps are an excellent solution for properties with limited or no access to mains water, offering a sustainable and cost-effective supply year-round.
Our Bore Pump Installation Process
We manage the entire installation process from start to finish, ensuring your bore pump system is designed for long-term reliability.
1. Site Assessment and Planning
We start by inspecting your bore location, depth, and yield capacity. We assess your household or irrigation needs, pressure requirements, and power availability. This helps us design a system that matches your daily water demand.
2. Pump Selection
Based on the site assessment, we recommend a pump that suits your bore depth and usage. We install both submersible and surface-mounted pumps from leading brands such as Grundfos, Davey, DAB, and Franklin Electric.
3. Component Setup
We install essential components including pressure switches, check valves, control boxes, and, if needed, pressure tanks or filters. All pipework and electrical elements are installed to code, in partnership with licensed electricians.
4. Installation and Connection
We lower the pump into the bore and connect the pipework to your tank or water system. All connections are tested for pressure integrity and system safety.
5. Testing and Commissioning
Once installed, we test the system under load to ensure steady water delivery, correct pressure cut-in/cut-out settings, and power safety. We calibrate the controls and provide a full handover with operating instructions.
When Should You Install a Bore Pump?
Bore pump installation is ideal in the following situations:
- You’re building on a rural or lifestyle section without town supply
- You want to reduce reliance on mains water
- You need a sustainable irrigation system for gardens or farming
- Your property has an existing bore but lacks a working pump
- You’re upgrading from an older or underpowered pump system
Citywide Plumbing will assess your site and water needs to determine the right pump type, size, and layout for optimal performance.
