Clearbore Water Bore & Water Pump Cleaner

By far the worst problem associated with groundwater extraction is a blockage caused by the interaction of dissolved iron and iron-related bacteria. In the past, such blockages have led to the abandonment and subsequent replacement of bores. No longer!

Clearbore is a biodegradable granular chemical designed to remove the blockage of biofilm and hard encrustations that result from dissolved iron and iron-related bacteria. Clearbore will dissolve the blockage simply and easily and allow the pump to return to normal operation within hours. 

Clearbore can also be utilised to dissolve the iron build-up in a reticulation system. Water bores are a major expense and an important part of your infrastructure and as such should be kept in good condition. As we all know ‘Murphy’s Law’ will strike at the most inopportune time! Clearbore can help you stay well ahead of any unforeseen problems with the production of water from a bore.

Clearbore can be used on surface mounted pumps with equal success. Using Clearbore is a cost effective solution in the maintenance of water bores and pipelines. A regular Clearbore treatment eliminates the costly down time associated with pipeline pigging or a full bore rejuvenation. Clearbore reduces power costs by keeping the bore pump working at optimum efficiency. Clearbore reduces long-term costs and addresses environmental concerns by maximising the use of existing bore installations and extending their useful life.

Prove it to yourself, next time a bore or pump is due for maintenance — try Clearbore and be pleasantly surprised at the results – it will certainly cost you less money. Every Clearbore container comes with a testing liquid that can be used to indicate when the bore water is ready for use after the Clearbore treatment.

Turn the bore pump on and check the water is circulating.

Method 1: Dissolve the required amount of Clearbore in a suitable container at the rate of 10% i.e. 20kg into 200 litres, 10kg into 100 litres and 5kg into 50 litres (dissolving will be easier in warm water). While the water is running pour the Clearbore into the bore and allow the mixture to circulate for at least 6 hours.

Method 2: Given sufficient space at the bore head Clearbore can be applied as a granule, Clearbore is not free flowing. Scoop the required amount of Clearbore into the bore while the pump is circulating the water once all the Clearbore is applied allow the mixture to circulate for at least 6 hours. Wash any residue down the bore or water well into the ground.

After the treatment remove the discharge pipe to allow the water to disperse onto absorbent ground. If the water is used only for irrigation the treatment water can be dispersed via the reticulation system, it will assist in cleaning the pipework.
