What Providers Quote For

How It Works

• Describe the job. One short request: the property, the ground and what you need.
• Providers reply. Those covering your area send availability and prices.
• You compare. Side by side, on scope and price, not on who answered first.
• You appoint. Directly with the provider. We are not party to the work.

What a Wellpoint Is, and What It Is Not

• A shallow well. A slotted pipe jetted into sand, usually three to twelve metres down.
• Not a borehole. No rig, no rock drilling, a fraction of the cost and of the yield.
• Sandy ground only. Clay and rock cannot be jetted through at any price.
• A surface pump. Suction tops out near eight metres, which decides most quotations.
• Garden water. Lawn, beds, pool top up and washing down.
• Not drinking water. Not unless it has been tested and treated.

Wellpoint or Borehole

• Depth. A point reaches metres; a borehole reaches tens of metres.
• Yield. A point gives hundreds to a few thousand litres an hour, a borehole more.
• Cost. A point is a fraction of a borehole, which is priced by the metre.
• Access. Jetting gear fits through a side gate; a drilling rig usually does not.
• Reliability. A shallow point can drop in a dry summer where a borehole holds.
• Which to ask for. On sandy ground with modest demand, a point is normally enough.

What to Include in Your Request

• The address. Suburb and street, because local ground decides what is possible.
• What the water is for. Garden, pool, toilets, a business or livestock.
• How much you need. Roughly, in litres a day or hours of watering.
• What is already there. An existing point, pump, tank or irrigation system.
• Where the point can go. And whether a vehicle can reach that spot.
• Your deadline. It changes both the price and who can take the work on.

Availability

• Repair callouts. Often same or next day for a local visit.
• New installations. Usually within a week or two in the coastal metros.
• Peak season. Spring and early summer are the busiest and the slowest to book.
• Filtration systems. Specified from a water test, so allow for the test first.
• Dewatering. Needs discharge permission arranged before the points go in.

Comparing Providers

• Ask for the depth. A price without a depth is not comparable to one with it.
• Ask for the yield in litres. "Good water" is not a number.
• Get the dry hole fee in writing. Before anyone starts jetting.
• Check what the pump is. Make, rating and whether parts are available here.
• Separate the line items. Point, pump and pipework quoted apart from each other.
• Check the guarantee. On the point, on the pump, or on neither.
