Cattle Waterer Installation & Repairs

We install Ritchie waterers. We also supply parts and repairs for all Ritchie waterers.

 

 

Cistern & Booster Pump Installation

There are times when low producing wells cannot keep up with peak demands. A cistern holding tank can be installed to spread the demand of water over the whole day. We can supply any size of cistern holding tanks and booster pumps to match the supply of the well. The cistern tank can be sized to fit in any size of room and through most door openings. Our choice of booster pump is the Grundfos MQ45 pump. This pump is very compact and is extremely quiet and reliable. 

 

Domestic water wells

We use the most up to date technology and equipment to construct our wells. All the domestic wells that we drill are constructed using PVC casing to give the most corrosive resistant well possible. Using 6” PVC surface casing with a wall thickness of 3/8 inches and a 4 ½” PVC liner will produce a durable, strong and long lasting well. Grout is pumped up the entire exterior of the surface casing to seal and isolate unwanted water and contaminants. All of the water used for drilling is from potable water sources. We do not use water from lakes, creeks, irrigation canals or dugouts.

Down hole camera service

We have owned our downhole camera for nine years giving us the capability to look down wells as deep as 300 feet. We can then diagnose well problems and assess wells for repair, damage or rehabilitation. We have fished out pumps and debris that was almost impossible to do before downhole cameras were on the market.

 

 

Environmental monitor wells

We have drilled deep environmental monitor wells for sampling water flow and quality. We have the knowledge, capacity and expertise to design the well for environmental requirements.

 

High Capacity Pump Testing

We have full capacity to conduct high capacity pump tests with level readings recorded by data loggers. Flow meters are custom ordered to match flow desired. 

 

Industrial water wells

We can construct any type of industrial well you may require from large diameter casings to deep high capacity wells, steel or plastic, including stainless steel screens. We have data loggers, flow meters and pumps to complete your drilling project. Tell us what your requirements are and we will work with you.

 

Pressure System installation and repair

We supply and install all models of Grundfos water pumps. Grundfos pumps are made in Denmark and are the most efficient and reliable pump available. Grundfos has also perfected the 3” SQ/SQE constant flow well pumps that require only limited space to install the complete system.

 

 

We install air bladder  pressure tanks of all sizes to match your pressure system. 
 
 
We also install pitless adapters to eliminate the need of a well pit and is the most cost effective way to deliver the water from the well to the house.

Shock Chlorination

Regular shock chorination of your well is recommened to keep your well operating at it highest efficiency.  Build up of iron bacteria and sulfate reducing bacteria can be kept to a minimum with regular well maintenance.  In difficult cases a drill machine will be needed to clean the well before a chlorinating the well.  The chlorinating solution needs to have a ph balance of 7.0 in order for the chlorine to work properly. 

 

Solar Pumping System Installation

We supply and install Grundfos solar pumping systems in remote locations. Grundfos is the most reliable solar pumping source that you can buy.

 

Water Filtration

Well water quality can be challenging in certain areas. Water filtration is the best option with iron filters being the most common filter installed. We consult with WSH Laboratory in Calgary, Alberta and they work closely with us to solve any poor water quality issues you may have. 

 
We also supply and install water softeners.
