First things first you need to find out if you actually have accessible underground water...
Now you know where the water is, you need to be able to access it...
You've hit water, now you need to get it to the surface and make sure it is safe to drink...
Gone are the days where we had to rely on the mysterious skills of a water diviner to point one to the location of water. While the art may locate the vicinity of water, the accuracy is not exact and there is no way of determining the depth at which the water will be found.
With the advancements of modern technology, we can now use equipment to conduct a detailed hydrogeological survey which will not only pinpoint the exact location at which water could be found, but can also determine how deep the water will be, as well as the geological structures, such as veins and aquifers where water is likely to accumulate.
While traditional big rigs are limited by their size with regards to the areas that they may be able to access on your property, 0ur Little Red Rocket only needs a 1m gap to make its way to even tricky to get to drill spots.
We will start drilling early in the morning, so that we have enough time to drill as deep as is necessary to access your water. Once the water has been reached, we will always drill a further 10-15m to help to ensure that your water supply may be replenished even in times of drought.
When the ideal depth has been reached, we will install casings down the length of the hole and pack them with gravel to support the stability of the hole and prevent it from collapsing.
We will then cover the hole to prevent any debris from falling into it. Your borehole will now be ready for the installation of a suitable
3 INCH PUMP.
It is important to understand what your motivation is for wanting a borehole, so that once we have hit the underground water source the next steps can be implemented to ensure your requirements are fulfilled
If you only require your borehole for irrigation of your garden, a simple pump and irrigation system can be installed. If your intension is to use your water for drinking and cooking in your home, then it is essential to conduct a water quality test to ensure your water is safe to consume.
After the borehole has been drilled and cased, a pump specialist will conduct a yield test to determine the type of pump that your borehole will require.
Your pump will be linked to a suitable water storage solution and then connected to your garden irrigation system or plumbed into your home, as per your requirements.
Your pump will require annual maintenance to ensure continued optimal performance.
After the borehole has had some time to settle, a water sample should be taken to determine the quality of your water, so that a suitable filtration system can be installed in order to ensure your water is safe to drink.
We advise having your water quality tested annually to ensure the filtration system is still adequate.
We partner with industry experts to give you an opportunity to make the most of your untapped resources. We will provide you with guidance through the process to ensure that each of your service providers understands your specific water needs.
