Valve location and wiring faults can be amongst the most challenging tasks in the residential sector. How difficult it is very much depends on the age and installation standards of the system’s original design.

Despite this, there are tools and technologies that our tradesmen are equipped and knowledgeable in, that streamline this process. Valve location services are charged hourly due to the subjective nature of each system’s individual design.

If your sprinkler system or a single station continues to run or water pools at the heads while it is not supposed to operate, you could be experiencing one of these two likely scenarios:

• A zone valve, main valve or both of them are not sealing – this is the most common reason for leakage is debris obstructing the valve membrane or diaphragm, which will require disassembly of the valve, rinse and flush of all components and re-assembly. If components are damaged they will likely require replacement.
• Low Head Drainage – this will occur at the lowest point in the station layout and can be a sizeable issue if your station is quite large, as water will continue to drain until the pipework is empty. This can be amended with the installation of check valves on affected sprinklers or lateral station piping.

Water is a valuable resource, and it doesn’t come cheap. If you have an efficient irrigation system, then you’re going to have a more attractive landscape, a more profitable farm, and a low water bill.

Water moves pesticides and fertilisers utilised in your crops into groundwater, which can impacts the safety of the groundwater coming from your bore. This can impact your health, your property and the environment.

Water is limited and the more of it that we use, the less there will be for other uses.

You will have to check with your insurance provider to see if you’re eligible to claim a replacement or repairs. Fusion, due to power surges or lightning strikes, is the most common reason for insurance claims related to water bore pumps in Perth.

We take care of insurance claims as any other job. Our goal is to provide the best possible service and fix your issue in an efficient and effective way. We charge you directly and provide a report so that you can take care of the insurance claim directly with your provider.

The first step is to ensure it still has power. Plug something else into the same power source to be sure. If your system is hard-wired, then you will need to check the metre box to ensure a circuit hasn’t tripped or a fuse blown.

If the problem persists, get in touch with us and we will send someone to assess the issue and service your reticulation controller.

Your first step should be to ensure the pause or rain function hasn’t been enabled. You should also check the circuit breaker and override switch. If you’re connected to mains water you, will need to check the isolating valves.

If this doesn’t solve your problem, we’ll be happy to discuss the issue and run a diagnosis and any necessary repairs.

It sounds like you may have a broken pipe. This is the most common cause for water leakages and bubbling up.

We can discuss with you this over the phone and send out a technician to complete additional repairs.

You should set your system to water on your scheduled days. The optimum watering time is in the early morning. This allows the water to reach the roots without being evaporated or blown away. It’s also effective in preventing fungus or disease that is often caused by water sitting overnight on plants.

A water pump draws water out from the water table or permeable materials in the soil and into the pipe of the bore, which then pushes water to the surface. It can be connected to a tank or directly tied in to the irrigation system.

The water table is a static level layer, usually at shallower depths, than can dry up, causing damage to the bore. This is why we drill past the water table and into the permeable materials at the bottom of the aquifers, to get a more consistent and better quality supply. The screens placed at the bottom of the bore construction filter the river sands to get the water into the bore.
