Bore Water Pump? Do I need to purchase a special pump to extract my bore water?2023-06-09T12:08:22+10:00

Bore Water Pump?

Bore water pumps are in most cases required to access water from the bore once it’s drilled. The specifications of the pump will vary depending on variables such as water pressure within the well, the depth of the well and the target locations of the extracted water. How the bore water  pump will be powered is another important consideration that is effected by the distance of the bore from existing power supplies and it’s suitability for a solar power source.

The LederWaterDrill team can help determine the best, most cost efficient pump solution for your particular circumstance. We can supply and install all of the necessary equipment needed for you to access productive water supplies from your well directly to your preferred catchment and as a complete water bore solution.

Bore Water Testing? Is it required that I get the quality of my bore water tested?2024-04-19T15:26:31+10:00

Bore Water Testing. Is it a requirement?

Bore water testing can be a requirement in some jurisdictions. The primary concern is reliable identification and avoidance of contaminants if bore water is used for processes that will ultimately involve human consumption, either of the water itself or of produce derived from the bore water.

LederWaterDrill tests every new bore for salinity,(usability) on site. Further testing can be done by the land owner with a private water supply testing service. If water is for domestic use, it’s recommended you test your water for heavy metals and or contaminants.

In urban and rural areas sub surface water supplies can offer a reliable and safe avenue for meeting the water needs of property owners. Unfortunately it isn’t uncommon for groundwater in those areas to become contaminated from a variety of sources. Some examples are:

  • Sewage from drop toilets improperly positioned or from faulty septic tanks.
  • Concentrations of animal waste or dead animals relatively close to the water source that are allowed to ‘leach’ underground.
  • Agricultural by products such as pesticides or industrial fertilizers.
  • Literal pollution from factories, mining or other industrial operations.
  • Chemicals that can occur naturally in certain land forms such as arsenic.

Other examples include microbes and in rare cases even radioactivity.

For these reasons it is well advised to have your bore water testing done regularly. You can learn more about bore water testing HERE.

Water bore drilling benefits? What are the benefits of accessing ground water via a water bore or water well?2024-04-19T15:28:59+10:00

Water bore drilling benefits?

Water is life! And having a reliable supply of high quality water for domestic and stock use can significantly impact the success of your farm or primary production enterprise.

Dams and seasonal water ways are great when there’s rainfall, however in dryer times their reliability is reduced which translated directly into reduced yield not to mention the psychological and emotional stresses born of uncertain water supplies. Well placed, properly maintained water bores can offer reliable, high quality water supplies in times of drought but they can also serve as expansion aids when dam or seasonal supplies are at capacity.
