Borehole Pump Specialists

A water borehole is a narrow pipe that is drilled into the ground, to a depth that allows it to access an underground water source, called an aquifer. A pump is then used to draw water up to the surface. The borehole can pump can run all of the time, or it can feed tanks to store water for later consumption.

The simple answer is no. The geological composition of your area will dictate whether you are likely to have aquifers near you. At Pumping Solutions, we consult local records to give you an indication of whether a borehole is viable for you.

At the time of writing, you do not need a license if you are drawing up to 20m³ (20,000 litres) of water per day. Where usage exceeds this, a water abstraction licence must be applied for. Pumping Solutions are able to offer some advice and guidance on these applications.

Boreholes typically offer more benefits to commercial projects, including construction, commercial and agricultural. However, there are some instances where boreholes are viable for domestic users. The specialists at Pumping Solutions are able to offer guidance on their viability for you.
