Problem Overview Iron bacteria thrive in groundwater bores where iron and oxygen coexist. They produce a gelatinous orange-brown slime that coats bore screens, pumps, and pipes—restricting water flow, causing staining, and accelerating corrosion. 2. Treatment Objectives Eliminate iron

1. High Calcium or Magnesium (Hard Water) Appearance: Fine, chalky white film on leaves or soil surface after watering. Cause: When bore water evaporates, calcium carbonate or magnesium salts precipitate out and deposit on leaves. Test: Do a simple hardness or TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) test on the bore water. Fix: Use drip or sub-surface irrigation to keep water off foliage. Install a softening or acid-dosing system (e.g., dilute citric acid or CO₂ dosing to lower pH).

After 30+ years involved with water treatment I have yet to see any measurable effect, why? 🔹 Lack of Conclusive Scientific Evidence There are no peer-reviewed, repeatable, double-blind studies demonstrating that electromagnetic or radio-frequency water conditioners consistently prevent or remove scale under controlled conditions. Most of what’s available are: Anecdotal reports (“customers say their kettles look cleaner”) Short-term lab observations that show minor, rever

Accessing clean and reliable water from boreholes is essential for many Australian households and industries. However, bore water often contains impurities that can cause staining, unpleasant tastes, and even health concerns. Over the years, I have worked closely with groundwater management professionals and homeowners across Perth, Sydney, and Melbourne to develop effective groundwater cleaning strategies that address these challenges. In this article, I will share practical

Understanding Borehole Slime The “slime” found in bores is usually a gelatinous layer formed by iron-related bacteria (IRB) feeding on dissolved iron. As they oxidize iron, they create sticky deposits that clog screens, pumps, and pipework. Over time, these biofilms trap fine sediments and minerals, compounding the blockage. This buildup not only reduces yield but can also corrode metal components and affect the taste or clarity of the water. The Importance of Borehole Maint

🔌 1. Check Power and Controller Settings Make sure the irrigation controller is powered on and the schedule is active. Try switching the controller to “manual start” to confirm it’s sending power. Listen for the bore pump — if it’s silent, power may not be reaching it. ✅ Tip: If the pump runs when switched on manually at the starter box but not from the controller, the issue is likely in the controller, wiring, or solenoid. ⚡ 2. Check the Pump Starter / Contactor Ensure

Bore water staining is a common challenge faced by many who rely on groundwater sources, especially in regions like Perth, Sydney, and Melbourne. These stains, often caused by iron, manganese, and other minerals, can leave unsightly marks on laundry, plumbing fixtures, and household surfaces. Over the years, I have worked extensively with bore water systems and developed a deep understanding of effective stain removal techniques. In this article, I will share practical, prove

Introduction Even the best-designed bore will lose efficiency over time. Reduced yield, higher pumping costs, and changes in water quality are all signs of a problem that starts small — but compounds quickly. Understanding why bores decline and how to restore them can save thousands of dollars and extend the working life of valuable groundwater infrastructure. The Hidden Causes of Bore Efficiency Loss 1. Biofouling (Iron Bacteria Slime) Iron bacteria are naturally present i
