Description
Application
Flexibore is designed for use with:
- Rural and industrial bore water retrieval
- Ground water pumping in mines
- Submersible pumps for domestic and municipal water supply
- Solar bore pumps for stock and domestic use
- Test pumping.
Flexibore Hose is specifically designed to replace rigid riser pipes – such as steel and fibreglass pipes – which are subject to rust and encrustations, and are rigid, cumbersome and costly to install and retrieve. Steel and fibreglass riser pipes are also subject to interior iron bacteria build-up. This reduces flow rates and pump efficiency. Flexibore hoses do not get iron bacteria build -up due to swelling under pressure. This keeps the pumping costs down.
Features
- Quick and easy hose installation and retrieval
- No internal scaling
- Corrosion and microbiological damage resistance
- Reduced head losses and improved flow rates due to swelling under pressure
- Less labour intensive due to ease of installation
- Reduced transport costs due to light weight easily handling
- Custom lengths made to order
- Potable water approved: AS 4020
- Hydrostatically tested
- Simple maintenance due to iron bacteria resistance
- Long service life
- No safety cable required.
