Flexible Riser Hose System

Flexibore

Flexible Riser Hose System

Flexibore has been specifically designed to replace rigid riser pipes such as steel which is subject to rust and encrustrations. 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.

General Application

  • Flexibore has been specifically designed to replace rigid riser pipes such as Poly & PVC which are subject to encrustations resulting in reduced flow rates. Poly pipe can be difficult to remove when the pump requires servicing. There is no safety cable required when using Flexibore due to its high tensile strength.

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.

Easy Installation

  • 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. 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.
