Description Our Flexibore 250 hose in Australia features a highly resilient and long-lasting buildup, which makes it a go-to solution for bore water retrieval, mine de-watering, and municipal water supply. Besides, our Flexibore hose is highly flexible and strong enough to withstand the weight of a submersible pump. Our Flexibore Hose Specifications Quick and easy hose installation and retrieval No internal scaling to ensure consistent and high flow rates Resistance to corrosion and microbiological damage Reduced head losses and improved flow rates due to swelling under pressure Less labour-intensive due to ease of installation Reduced transport cost due to lightweight and easy handling Custom lengths made to order Potable water approved: AS 4020 Hydrostatically tested Simple maintenance due to resistance to iron and bacteria Long service life reduces frequent maintenance needs No safety cable required because of its high tensile strength Compatible with diverse submersible pumps ranging from 40mm to 200mm internal diameter and depths up to 250 metres Great Benefits of Our Bore Water Irrigation Hose Lasting Strength and Durability Our Flexibore 250 hose connector is made using a combination of highly resilient thermoplastic polyurethane and high-tenacity polyester fibre. This strong combination allows our Flexibore hose to withstand extreme conditions, deliver impactful performance, and last longer. Quick and Effortless Installation Our Flexible 250 irrigation hose is very easy to install due to its patented couplings, which easily attach to the pump once placed in the field. The pump, attached to the hose and cables, is then lowered into the bore using either a simple rolling wheel or a crane. The easy installation eventually requires less effort, thus reducing labour work and costs. Potable Water Approved Our Borewater lay-flat hose has passed rigorous testing by the Australian Water Quality Centre and has been certified AS4020 by it. This means it is potable water approved, which is a major concern in Australia. Applications of Our Flexibore Hose Fittings 250mm Mine de-watering Domestic and municipal water supply Test pumping Rural and industrial bore water retrieval Similar groundwater projects With its powerful resilience and low maintenance requirements, our Flexibore 250 hose connector is the ultimate solution for bore water retrieval.
