Bore Cleaning – Restore Your Water Flow and Protect Your Equipment
Most boreholes will require some maintenance over their lifetime. If your bore is producing clean water at a consistent flow rate, cleaning may not be necessary. However, over time, mineral deposits, sediment, and iron buildup can reduce water flow and impact pump performance. When this happens, a professional bore cleaning is essential.
How Bore Cleaning Works
Bore cleaning typically involves two main procedures:
- Chemical Treatment: Circulates approved chemicals through the bore while the pump is running, removing scale, iron buildup, and deposits. This process also cleans the pump and associated piping.
- Hydraulic Blowout: For severe mineral buildup or when chemical treatment alone is insufficient, a hydraulic blowout is used to remove large deposits, restoring water flow and pump performance.
