Are you getting complaints about the use of your Bore Water?

There’s been an increase in complaints to councils over the use of Bore Water systems in recent years. Where once the handy bore water system simply provided a means to keep your lawn and gardens green over summer, has now become a contentious issue between neighbours!

With an exceptionally hot summer and lack of rain around much of the country, bore water systems have been used extensively to keep gardens and lawns alive. But with the dry climate and no rain, the underground water tables have dropped which has influenced the quality of bore water.

That “rotten egg” smell of sulphuric acid and an increase in pH, Iron and Salt levels is causing problems in local communities. So much so that local councils are receiving complaints about the use of bore water and the bad smell that is wafting across fence lines.

If you’re a user of Bore Water, for gardens, lawns or general purpose around the house including topping up the pool, there’s a solution to clean up the water and help keep the neighbours happy!

Specialists in Water Management Systems!

Bore Water is notoriously smelly, and can taste quite bad due to the elements found in the ground where the bore well is situated.

What is Bore Water?

Bore Water is ground water that has accumulated in under ground aquifers. These ground waters usually contain particles of substrate and/ or pollutants with which they’ve been in contact – often for long periods of time.

Hydrogen Sulphide, Iron, Calcium, Salt, Tannins, and various chemicals can all be found in Bore Water. Contributing to the smell and taste, and can lead to killing your garden and lawns, or staining pathways fences and brickwork.
