💧 Benefits of Bore Rehabilitation

1. Restoring Lost Capacity

   • Over time, bores can get clogged with mineral scale, biofouling, fine sediment, or iron bacteria.

   • Rehabilitation (chemical or mechanical cleaning) clears out these blockages.

   • This restores the bore’s original yield or flow rate—bringing it back closer to what it produced when it was new.

2. Decreasing Pumping Costs

   • A clean bore means the pump doesn't have to work as hard to move water.

   • Less resistance = less energy = lower electricity costs.

   • It also reduces wear and tear on the pump, which means fewer breakdowns.

3. Extending the Life of the Bore

   • Regular maintenance and cleaning slow down corrosion and prevent damage from buildup.

   • This can add years—even decades—to the life of the bore, especially in older steel-cased wells.

4. Solving Water Quality Problems

   • Staining, odours, turbidity, or bacteria often come from biofilms or corrosion products inside the casing or screen.

   • Cleaning and chemical treatment with BoreSaver Ultra C can restore better water quality.

💡 Economic Insight

• Rehabilitation is far cheaper than drilling a new bore.

  • Especially true for older steel bores that were originally high-yielding.

• If the original bore is in a good aquifer and still structurally sound:

  • You can reline it with stainless steel screen and casing.

  • This gives it a second life—often without needing to upgrade the pump.

  • This method keeps costs down while preserving original flow rates.
