Flexibore® 150 is the heavy-duty flexible riser hose designed for mine operators, contractors, and farmers needing reliable bore water pumping from large-diameter, deep bores up to 150 metres. Unlike rigid poly pipe, it reduces installation time, cuts manual handling risks, and prevents iron bacteria build-up—delivering an Australian-made, high-performance solution that keeps pumps secure and water flowing safely

Our flexible bore water hose is totally corrosion and microbiological damage resistant and will not succumb to iron bacteria build-up.
Flexibore systems are intended for upstream raw water transfer only, and it is assumed that suitable filtration and treatment are installed prior to connection to regulated potable water plumbing systems.
There are 3 recommended methods for safely installing pumps with Flexibore® : vehicle assisted, crane assisted, and hand assisted. The method chosen will depend on the bore depth, pump weight and access space.
Flexibore® couplings are designed to be fitted onto the hose during installation. Once the coupling has been attached to the pump, the hose is pushed onto the coupling tail; 2x 3-piece clamp sets are then securely fastened around the hose using an Allen key.
There are 2 methods to secure the power cable to the hose: Crusader Hose-approved heavy-duty cable ties & FlexiStraps.
As long as the total weight of the pump and cable falls within the safety margin of the max. tensile load, then no safety cable is required. If the total weight is higher than the recommended max. tensile load, please contact us to discuss safety cable usage.
