Having trouble with your bore pump?
New Bore Pump Installations
Recently had a bore drilled or planning a new bore?
Getting the pump system right from the beginning can make a major difference to water flow, reliability and the life of the equipment.

A new bore pump installation may include:
- Bore pump sizing and selection
- Supply and installation of the bore pump
- Rising main installation
- Bore pump electrical cable
- Electrical supply and connections
- Pump control panels
- Motor protection
- Tank filling controls
- Float switches and level controls
- Pressure systems
- Variable-speed drives
- Dry-run and low-water protection
- Pressure and flow monitoring
- Testing and commissioning
One Contractor for the Complete System
We have the equipment and experience to complete both the pump and electrical components of the bore pump installation, helping make the process simpler from installation through to commissioning.
Already have your own plumber or electrician?
No problem. We are happy to work alongside your existing trades and complete only the parts of the installation you require.
Contact us before your bore is completed so we can help plan the pump installation.
Bore Pump Repairs & Fault Finding
A bore pump that stops working does not necessarily mean the pump itself has failed.
Bore pump faults can be caused by a range of problems, including:
- Damaged electrical cables
- Failed contactors or overloads
- Faulty pump controllers
- Electrical supply problems
- Low bore water levels
- Dry-running conditions
- Worn or damaged pipework
- Failed non-return valves
- Incorrect protection settings
- Motor faults
- Control or level-sensor faults
Rather than immediately replacing the pump, we test the system to determine what is actually causing the problem.
Where possible, we will identify whether the fault is with the pump, electrical supply, cabling, controls, pipework or water supply before recommending repairs or replacement.

Bore Pump Removal & Replacement
When a bore pump has failed or reached the end of its service life, we can remove the existing pump and install a suitable replacement.
A replacement can also be an opportunity to correct problems with an existing system, such as:
- Incorrectly sized pumps
- Poor pressure or flow
- Undersized pipework
- Ageing electrical cable
- Inadequate motor protection
- Outdated controls
- Poor tank or pressure control
We can inspect the existing installation and recommend the most suitable replacement based on how the bore is actually being used.

Bore Pump Sizing & Selection
Choosing the correct bore pump is critical.
A pump that is too small may not provide the flow or pressure you require, while an incorrectly selected pump can operate inefficiently or have a reduced service life.
When selecting a pump, we consider factors including:
- Bore depth
- Bore diameter
- Standing water level
- Pumping water level
- Required flow rate
- Required pressure
- Total pumping head
- Pipe size and length
- Power supply
- Tank location
- Irrigation requirements
- Intended use of the water
The aim is to select a pump that operates correctly within its performance range while providing the flow and pressure required by your system.
Bore Pump Controls & Protection
Good pump protection is just as important as choosing the right pump.
We can install, repair and upgrade bore pump control systems including:
- Pump control panels
- Contactors and motor overloads
- Electronic pump controllers
- Dry-run protection
- Low-water protection
- Flow switches
- Pressure switches
- Pressure sensors
- Tank level controls
- Float switches
- Level transducers
- Variable-speed drives
- Automatic tank filling systems
Correct protection can help prevent damage caused by dry running, electrical faults, excessive cycling and abnormal operating conditions.
Variable-Speed Bore Pump Systems
Where suitable, a variable-speed drive can be used to automatically adjust pump speed to maintain the required system pressure.
Variable-speed systems can be particularly useful where water demand changes significantly during operation.
A pump that is too small may not provide the flow or pressure you require, while an incorrectly selected pump can operate inefficiently or have a reduced service life.
Applications may include:
- Irrigation systems
- Pressure systems
- Multiple watering zones
- Stock and domestic systems
- Commercial water systems
We can assess whether a variable-speed system is suitable for your bore and configure the controls and protection to suit the application.
Agricultural & Rural
Bore Pump Systems
Reliable water supply is essential on rural and agricultural properties.
We work on bore pump systems used for:
- Stock watering
- Trough systems
- Tank filling
- Irrigation
- Domestic water supply
- Garden and landscape irrigation
- Washdown systems
- Rural property water transfer
- Commercial water supply systems
Whether the bore supplies a single tank or forms part of a larger irrigation or water distribution system, we can help with the pump, controls and electrical components required to keep it operating reliably.
Complete Testing & Commissioning
Installing the equipment is only part of the job.
Once work is completed, we can test the bore pump system to confirm it is operating correctly.
Depending on the installation, commissioning may include checking:
- Pump operation
- Flow rate
- Operating pressure
- Electrical current
- Motor protection
- Pump controls
- Tank level controls
- Float switches
- Pressure settings
- Dry-run protection
- Variable-speed drive operation
- Automatic start and stop functions
This helps ensure the pump and control system are operating as intended before the job is completed.
Why Choose Us for Your Bore Pump?
Bore pump systems involve much more than simply selecting and installing a pump. Reliable operation depends on the pump, electrical supply, cabling, controls, protection, pipework and water requirements all working together correctly.
Our experience working with pumps, bore systems and electrical control equipment allows us to look at the complete installation rather than focusing on just one component.
Experienced With Pumps
We regularly work with pump systems across residential, rural, agricultural and commercial applications.
Our experience includes:
- Bore pumps
- Irrigation pumps
- Pressure and transfer pumps
- Pump control panels
- Variable-speed drives
- Tank filling systems
- Level and pressure controls
- Motor protection systems
- Pump fault finding and diagnostics
This practical pump experience allows us to properly assess how a system is operating, identify problems and recommend equipment that is suitable for the application.
Qualified Electricians
A major advantage of using us for your bore pump installation or repair is that we are qualified electricians as well as experienced pump technicians.
Many bore pump problems involve both the pump and the electrical system. Being qualified electricians means we can test and work on the complete electrical installation, including:
- Pump motors and electrical cables
- Power supplies
- Contactors and overloads
- Pump control panels
- Variable-speed drives
- Pressure and level sensors
- Float switches
- Motor protection
- Electrical fault finding
This means you are not relying on separate contractors to diagnose different parts of the same system.
Complete Pump & Electrical Solutions
For many bore pump installations, we can manage the job from pump selection through to final electrical connection, controls, protection, testing and commissioning.
Where other trades are required, or if you already have your own plumber or electrician, we are also happy to work alongside them.
Our aim is to provide a bore pump system that is correctly sized, properly protected, professionally installed and tested to operate as intended.
