We can extract water from your borehole...
Whether you already have a water source or are considering a borehole, ascertaining the availability of water is the first step towards having a private water supply. We can guide you through this process, assessing viability of an existing source or recommending a trusted borehole driller.
We know all about pumps and filters...
Purchasing pumps and filters online can be confusing if you are trying to repair your own system but we have lots of experience and great suppliers so we can choose the perfect equipment for your requirements.
Many of our installations provide water of drinkable quality, generally water will require some level of treatment to get to this point.
We use high quality multistage filtration as necessary and ultraviolet light to remove unwanted bacteria and odour.
Quality iron removal systems...

Regular maintenance will increase efficiency...
As with all things regular maintenance will increase efficiency and longevity of your system.
With a potable (wholesome) water supply annual changes of the UV lamp will ensure proper disinfection of the water. With a new system filters should be monitored initially to assess the levels of contamination and a suitable replacement schedule can then be implemented. Water quality can be gauged by periodic water sampling and from these results adjustments to disinfection, filtration and iron removal can be made.
We repair and maintain many quality systems that have been installed by others so if you have an existing system that needs maintenance or is not working as expected, we can quote for necessary work and ongoing servicing.
If you would like further information on all that we do, please get in touch.
We would love to hear from you.
We are a second generation family business drawing on many years of engineering experience.
In order to design an effective and efficient system we will meet with you and discuss your requirements. In general we will want to know your approximate predicted water usage and what the end purpose is for the water. We use data loggers and flow meters to test water use over a set period to ascertain peak usage periods where necessary.
We will discuss possible geographical and planning restrictions and consider any groundwork that may be required in advance of an installation.
Every job is different and approached on an individual basis, here are some examples of our projects.
