Boresaver Iron Oxide Solutions

Boresaver is a comprehensive and innovative range of cleaning solutions for systems that are contaminated with iron oxide, manganese oxide, iron related bacteria and calcium carbonate residues. Boresaver Ultra C, Boresaver Liquid and Boresaver IKL Pro are all approved by the Secretary of State under regulation 31 of the Water Supply (Water Quality) Regulations 1989 for use in potable water applications. Boresaver Ultra C has now been Tested and Certified by NSF International. Boresaver is part of a GWS maintenance programme for well cleaning and borehole rehabilitation.

Iron oxide residues in groundwater is a growing problem, estimated to affect about 40% of the world’s water bores. Iron in the water can cause it to look dirty - whether caused by naturally occurring bacteria or due to oxidation, the result is an oxide and biofilm that builds up in the pumps and headworks, affecting performance, quality and output. The problems can present as dirty water, rusty water, iron rich water or as a type of biofouling.

Boresaver is a unique product that dissolves iron oxide residues and manganese oxide residues, calcium carbonate residues and combats iron related bacteria contamination. The product can be used without dismantling equipment and will not attack or deteriorate any of the materials inside the system. When dosed correctly Boresaver is biodegradable, breaking down into the completely harmless components carbon dioxide and water. One of its key components occurs naturally in plants and vegetables, making the product environmentally friendly. Boresaver is as extremely easy for householders to use and full dosage instructions are given.

Well Screen Before & After Treatment

BoreSaver Ultra C

Boresaver Ultra C is added to water in the bore casing either dry or as a slurry. The crystallized cleaner then settles through the water in the bore, dissolving the iron oxide residues. It can be added to the well whilst all the equipment is in-situ and will not affect the pump parts and equipment.

BoreSaver Liquid

Boresaver Liquid is added to bores where iron residues build up in the pump, screen, headworks and reticulation system as a result of iron related bacteria. This can be used as a maintenance product or in combination with the Ultra C.

BoreSaver IronKleen Liquid

Formulated to clean staining iron oxide residues on a range of exterior building surfaces, paths and fences. The liquid version can also be used for cleaning carbonate residues as well as situations where both are present in water wells.

BoreSaver PartsClear

Specially formulated to clean pump parts without damaging them, PartsClear runs through pumps as a solution, often without needing to dismantle the pump.

BoreSaver Test Kits

A complete test kit to accurately measure residual levels of oxalic in the water to an accuracy of 2 ppm as required by the DWi approval.

Laval Downhole CCTV Cameras

The Laval R-Cam 1000 downhole camera is a completely portable, self-contained video inspection system that can inspect boreholes up to 330 metres deep and 50cm in diameter.

The R-Cam 1000 system combines all the features of a full, professional system with breakthrough affordability. Developed as a cost-effective system for the smaller operator, it delivers real-time inspection footage on-site. Using the R-Cam 1000 allows operators to offer an enhanced and quality service by giving clients the opportunity to view well conditions and approve completed works.

This lightweight, smaller size, professional grade camera comes with its own trolley and features include down and side viewing capability, an on-screen depth counter, liquid crystal display, DVD recorder, 12V DC power supply and a portable battery.

Ideal for:

Periodic inspections to determine existing well conditions and perform preventative maintenance
After service inspections to verify cleaning, repairs, track well conditions and ensure compliance
Pre-purchase inspections
Ground water monitoring to determine quality, mineral conditions, geological strata etc
Locating and retrieving lost tools
New construction inspection to display the quality of work and offer customer assurance
