What Is a Bore Pump?

A bore pump is a submersible or surface-mounted electric pump used to extract water from underground aquifers via a drilled bore or well. These systems are common on rural properties and in areas where access to mains water is limited or unreliable.

A bore pump system typically includes:

The pump unit (submersible or jet)
Pressure switches and control panels
Delivery pipework to tanks or direct outlets
Non-return valves and filtration (optional)

Bore pumps provide water for a variety of uses, including drinking, irrigation, livestock, and household supply. If your system isn’t performing properly, Citywide Plumbing can help.

Our Bore Pump Repair Services

Citywide Plumbing offers a complete range of bore pump services, from diagnostics to component replacement and system testing. We work with all major pump brands and models commonly found in New Zealand.

Comprehensive System Diagnosis

We begin with a full inspection of your bore pump system, including electrical supply, pipework, pressure controls, and pump components. We use specialised equipment to test the pump motor, wiring continuity, and water pressure.

Mechanical and Electrical Repairs

We handle everything from replacing worn bearings and seals to repairing damaged impellers or float switches. If electrical issues are involved, we coordinate with licensed electricians to safely repair switches, starters, and controllers.

Pipework and Valve Servicing

Sometimes the issue lies in the delivery pipe or check valves. We inspect and repair piping, replace faulty valves, and ensure there are no blockages or leaks compromising system performance.

Pump Retrieval and Reinstallation

If your bore pump needs to be removed from the well for repairs, we use proper lifting tools and methods to retrieve it safely, make the necessary fixes, and reinstall it to full working order.

Post-Repair Testing and Calibration

Once repairs are completed, we test the system to ensure consistent water flow, correct pressure settings, and safe operation. We also offer guidance on how to monitor your system between services.

When to Repair vs Replace a Bore Pump

While many pump issues can be fixed with replacement parts or system adjustments, some situations call for a full pump replacement. We may recommend replacement if:

The pump is more than 10–15 years old
Replacement parts are no longer available
The system has failed repeatedly
The motor or casing shows signs of corrosion or damage
The pump is too small or inefficient for current water demands

If a replacement is needed, Citywide Plumbing can supply and install a suitable, modern pump that matches your water usage and system design.

Prevent Future Breakdowns with Routine Maintenance

Regular servicing keeps your bore pump running smoothly and extends its lifespan. Our maintenance services include:

Pump performance testing
Electrical inspections
Pressure control checks
Cleaning or flushing of pipework
System calibration and filter servicing (if fitted)

We recommend annual maintenance for most domestic systems, or more frequently if your pump sees heavy use.
