Boresaver Ultra C
$410.00
Cleans the rusty iron oxide residues that build up in wells, bores, pumps and pipes.
When iron oxide residues build up in the well/bore, production drops and maintenance costs can spiral out of control. The slippery orange iron deposits are due to the conversion (oxidation) of dissolved iron by naturally occurring bacteria (I.R.B.). It is not only unpleasant for the operators but, more importantly, it is indicative of a system that is steadily becoming constricted, inefficient and expensive to maintain. Iron oxide residues affect stainless steel as well as cast iron and the various different types of plastic groundwater pumps.

How to Recognize an Iron Bacteria Problem
Iron oxide and manganese oxide buildup can be identified by any of the following signs:
- Rust-colored slime is visible inside pumps, blocking main lines and laterals or in drippers, sprinklers and other fixtures.
- Overall system performance is decreased and water flow from the bore is reduced.
- Water pumped from the well is foul-smelling, cloudy or rust-colored.
- Pavement and trim around piping and faucets appear badly-stained.
How Much Product Do I Need for My Well?
The amount of BoreSaver Ultra C to use is based on water volume in the bore to be treated. The degree of contamination in the pump is not directly related to the length of time the pump has been in service, rather factors such as mineral levels, dissolved carbon dioxide levels and the quantity of water pumped influence the amount of residues contained in the casing and pump.
How to Use BoreSaver Ultra C
BoreSaver Ultra C iron oxide treatment is easy to use and shows noticeable improvements in severely clogged wells after just a few applications. Simply add the product directly to the well or borehole and agitate using surge and brush, air lifting or pump-in recycling rehabilitation techniques. This will loosen and dislodge built-up iron bacteria deposits so they can be flushed out. To prevent buildups from recurring, regular treatment with BoreSaver Ultra C is recommended on a twice-yearly basis.

What are the signs of iron bacteria problems in wells?
Iron oxide and manganese oxide buildup can be identified by rust-colored slime visible inside pumps, blocking main lines and laterals, or in drippers, sprinklers, and other fixtures. Additionally, overall system performance may decrease, water flow from the bore may be reduced, and water pumped from the well might be foul-smelling, cloudy, or rust-colored. Pavement and trim around piping and faucets may also appear badly-stained.
How much Boresaver Ultra C do I need for my well?
The amount of Boresaver Ultra C required is based on the water volume in the bore that needs treatment. The degree of contamination will also influence the quantity needed. For precise measurements and recommendations, consulting the product’s specifications or contacting a specialist is advised.
