Alderdice floating foot valves retain prime in a pump suction line while following the water level in a dam or river. Two floats support the valve through a drop bar and tee, keeping the intake assembly floating as the level changes. The gunmetal bronze valve has a threaded side outlet, allowing a suction pipe fitting to connect without a bend at the valve.
BSP side outlets are available in 32mm, 40mm and 50mm sizes. The non-return valve closes against reverse flow when pumping stops. The floating arrangement supports the intake at the surface rather than fixing it at one level.
Use the size-specific pressure-loss curves when assessing suction performance. The flow charts are a guide only; they do not provide a fixed flow capacity for every pump installation.

These PVC plugs fit inside the bottom of the bore casing, so they don’t stick out like a cap fitted over the pipe. This helps prevent the end from catching on the sides of the hole as the casing is lowered into the bore. Choose 100mm, 125mm or 150mm to suit Class 9–12 casing.
Sizes: 100mm, 125mm and 150mm.
The plug fits inside the casing rather than over its outside, maintaining a slim end profile for lowering. It also closes the bottom against material entering through the open end; water enters through the bore’s intended intake or screen section. Match the plug to the casing size and class.
This 1.6–3.2mm gravel pack is placed around a bore screen to help hold back surrounding sand while allowing groundwater to reach the screen. It forms part of the bore’s filter system, working with the screen’s slots rather than replacing the screen. Each bag contains 25kg.
Gravel is placed in the space between the bore screen and the drilled hole. The grade must suit both the surrounding formation and the screen slot size so water can enter while sand is retained.
The amount required depends on the drilled-hole diameter, screen diameter and depth of the gravel-pack interval.
BoreSaver Ultra C dissolves iron-oxide build-up and helps remove the associated bacterial slime from bores, pumps and pipework. It is used to rehabilitate an existing bore by loosening deposits so they can be flushed out, helping recover performance lost to iron build-up. This 10kg bucket contains the concentrated crystalline cleaner.
Iron-related bacteria can contribute to rusty, slimy deposits around bore screens and inside pumps and pipework, restricting water flow. Treatment dissolves the iron build-up and helps loosen the associated bacterial slime so it can be pumped out and flushed away.
The quantity needed depends on the bore’s internal diameter, the depth of water being treated and the amount of build-up. Select the treatment amount and method using the Australian application instructions.
Cleaning involves distributing the treatment through the affected area, allowing time for it to work, then pumping out the loosened material and flushing the system. The chosen method determines which parts of the bore and pump are reached.
Follow the product label, application instructions and current safety data sheet for handling, protective equipment and disposal of treatment water.
