Boreholes drilled for agricultural or domestic/new builds
If you are thinking of having your own water supply, look no further, with a wealth of local knowledge we can help you tap into the underground spring beneath your feet.
We specialise in new builds. If you are building your own house and the mains is too far away, we can drill you a borehole and supply you with your own independent water supply. This usually entails treating the water to remove some minerals.
Once a borehole is drilled you can abstract 20 cubic metres per day without the need for a licence. If used solely for watering a garden then usually no treatment of the water is necessary and you can have a beautifully lush garden all summer long.
We also supply water systems to farmers, whether it is for livestock or irrigation.
Water Treatment
Whether you have an existing supply or a new source, we can maintain and service your individual system.
We can arrange for your water to be analysed and then design a bespoke treatment system. Once installed a yearly service will ensure your system keeps supplying you with clean safe water.
Treatment Options
Iron and manganese removal
The most common need for filtration is to remove iron found in bore water. These compounds can cause unsightly staining and affect the taste of food and drink. In large amounts it can cause pipes to block.
Nitrate Removal
Over 60% of nitrates enter our water system from agricultural land. High concentrations of nitrate in water can cause blue baby syndrome in young children. A nitrate removal filter will ensure your water is safe for the whole family.
Water softeners
Rainwater which fails on chalk and limestone dissolves and collects hardness with minerals such as calcium and manganese. These minerals naturally drop out of solution forming scale deposits, especially when the water is heated; this effects the efficiency of the heating system. A water softener will remove hardness from the water which in turn saves money and use of detergents and soap.
Ultraviolet Disinfection
To safe guard against bacteria, an ultraviolet disinfection unit can be fitted. This works by passing the water through a tube containing an ultraviolet lamp. The shortwave ultraviolet energy is lethal to micro-organisms. It requires no chemicals or additives and cannot be overdosed. It works 24 hours a day 7 days a week and only requires an annual service.
Service Requirement
A service can detect any minor issues before they turn into major problems. By having your water system serviced you can ensure you have a constant supply of water.
We would be happy to arrange a yearly contract with you.
