Birdwood Pumps & Irrigation

Bore pump service & repairs

Bore pump repairs, testing and replacement across the Adelaide Hills, Barossa and Mid-Murray. All types and brands, tested in our own tank.

When the bore stops, the water for your house, stock or crop stops too. We pull, diagnose, repair and reinstall bore pumps of every type and brand. Each pump is tested in our own tank before it goes back down.

Every kind of bore installation

We work on bore pumps on all the common riser types:

  • Poly pipe
  • Steel column
  • Fibreglass pipe
  • Lay-flat hose

Tested in our tank, not in your bore

Our workshop has a dedicated bore pump test tank. Before a repaired or new pump leaves the shop, we run it and check its performance. That way you’re not paying for a second trip to pull it back out.

New pumps from brands we’re dealers for

If a pump is past repairing, we can size and supply a replacement. We’re dealers for Grundfos, Lowara, Franklin and Southern Cross, so you get a matched pump and motor with proper warranty support.

Signs your bore pump needs attention: pressure dropping off, the pump cycling on and off, sand or dirty water, tripping breakers, or a pump that runs but doesn’t deliver. Call us early. It’s usually cheaper than waiting for it to fail.

Common questions

Do you service bore pumps you didn’t install?

Yes. We service all types and brands of bore pump, whoever put them in.

Can I get water while my pump is being repaired?

Ask us about a loan pump when you call. It can keep water flowing while yours is in the workshop.

Can you convert my bore to solar?

Often, yes. See solar pumping or give us a call to talk through your setup.

Pump down? Stock waiting on water?

Call us and tell us what’s happening. We’ll get you running, and if the fix takes time, ask about a loan pump.
