Product Description:

Flexibore 200 Bore Pipe

Description

Flexibore is a flexible riser used for ground water pumping. By integrating thermoplastic polyurethane into a woven textile fabric of high tenacity polyester, the hose is produced. This process gives the hose flexibility while sustaining the weight of a submersible pump.

Compatibility

Flexibore will suit many borehole applications and is compatible with most submersible pumps. The sizes range from 40mm to 200mm internal diameter and depths of up to 250m.

Product Applications:

Description

These include mine de-watering, domestic and municipal water supply, test pumping, rural and industrial bore-water retrieval and similar ground water projects.

Compatibility

Flexibore has been specifically designed to replace rigid riser pipes such as steel which is subject to rust and encrustations. This internal scaling reduces flow rates and pump efficiency. Other risers such as PVC and polypipe can be brittle or bend. They are also generally heavier and hard to handle.

Ease of Use:

Easy Installation

Once in the field, Flexibore is attached to the pump with the patented couplings. The pump, with hose and cables attached, is lowered into the bore using either a simple rolling wheel or a crane. See our installation brochure for further details.

Transportable

With its continuous length, the hose can be installed with less time and labour than rigid systems, this includes poly pipe. The same advantages apply to pump retrieval.
