Flexibore 250 – flexible rising main

*Note: This price is per meter. Please select your quantity below, for example, if you select 7 below, we will send you a 7 meter hose.

Product Description

Flexibore 250 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 250 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.

Applications:

Typical Applications These include mine de-watering, domestic and municipal water supply, test pumping, rural and industrial bore-water retrieval and similar ground water projects. General Application 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 250 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.
