Description
Flexible Rising Main FLEXIBORE 300
If It Is a Bore Think FLEXIBORE
FLEXIBORE 300 is a high-quality layflat hose for use inside boreholes. It is manufactured by weaving a textile reinforcement of high-tensile polyester and encasing it with hydrolysis-resistant polyurethane. The woven polyester fabric gives the hose a high burst pressure for super-deep well pumping. It is also designed to handle the weight of the pump plus water up to 300m inside the bore. FLEXIBORE® 300 can swell up to 10% making it extremely efficient in reducing pumping costs and friction loss. By dilating under pressure, no internal build-up of iron bacteria occurs, as seen with rigid pipe use such as steel or fibreglass. Proudly manufactured in Australia by Crusader Hose, FLEXIBORE® 300 is made to suit deep bore water pumping applications. It is made in a large range of diameters from 76mm to 152mm and is available in continuous lengths of up to 300m. Each roll is fully tested at our factory prior to despatch. Secure couplings can be easily attached on site. A strip with intermittent loops every half metre runs along the length of the hose. This allows the secure attachment of the electrical power cable to the hose and prevents possible rubbing against the bore casing.
Fittings are not included with the hoses. Fittings to be purchased separately.
Flexibore 300 Compatibility
Flexibore 300 will suit many borehole applications and is compatible with most submersible pumps. The sizes range from 76mm to 152mm internal diameter and depths up to 300 metres.
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. Flexibore is manufactured in continuous lengths and can be installed with less time and labour than rigid systems including poly pipe.
Flexibore Advantages
Flexibore hose is designed to save both time and money and to ensure the project is completed to a high standard. Our unique Flexibore has a number of benefits to the user. This include:
- Deep bore water pumping
- Low cost pumping
- Test pumping
- Rural and industrial bore water retrieval
- Similar ground water projects
Flexibore Applications
- Mine de-watering
- Domestic and municipal water supply
- Test pumping
- Rural and industrial bore water retrieval
- Similar ground water projects
Potable Water Approved Another major benefit of using Flexibore bore hose is that the hose is potable water approved. Extensive tests have been carried out by the Australian Water Quality Centre and have certified AS4020 approval.
