At Perth bores we are fully trained to fault find and resolve your bore problem asap. With over 15 years experience in bores and irrigation, we have seen it all.

These are some of our most frequent troubleshooting enquiries:

Problem 

 

The bore is tripping the circuit breaker when the system is turned on. 

 

No water is coming out of my sprinklers when I turn on my retic controller 

 

I can hear my bore pump running but have no water 

 

My system is down on pressure.

 

 

 Cause 

 

This is due to a electrical fault with either the bore motor or the electrical supply to the motor 

 

There are a few possible causes – a faulty retic controller, faulty bore 

 

If you have an older style bore well with a centrifugal bore this is a very common problem. This is most likely due to a priming issue, the pump will need to be reprimed or may require a new check valve 

 

your bore pump may need to be cleaned out or re redeveloped. This will improve full and quality
