Jai,

I don't have the quote readily with me but can get if for you in a day or two. By the way there are lot of fluctuations in the market and the price along with the VAT structure does go up often. I erected my borewell 6 months back.

I went for VGuard cable the only reason being the markets are flooded with Finolex duplicates. If you can find a legitimate seller, then its good. I went for Mahindra pump (3 HP @ 750 Feet) but you would need 4 HP as you have gone for 950+ feet.

Transaportation & erection costed me 2500 and Rope 275mtrs look ssomething new. I don't remeber seeing it in my bill

I am from HYD .. depth of my borewell is 1050 ft, but I went for a pump which can support for 1000ft so my pump was pusehd for 925 ft. Here in HYD I have installed the pump with around 63K details below.

KSB pumps (rates are similar for loda, falcon , texmo , lubi...etc) , dont go for kirloskar or CG as there are not good for depth more than 400 ft.

KSB pump quote for around 850-900 ft. I went upto 925 so had to put some extra money.

4 hp 50 stage - 22500 (3 hp 45 stage - 20500 ..not good for depth below 900 ft as the pump will be running on 95% load)

4 hp 50 stage - 20500 (came down after negotiation).
panel board - oakline made - 2300
1 in nagarjuna - 54/m - 14472 (went for 1.5 in so some extra cost).
hsst nipple + heavy gi nipple joining 450
Finolex - 2.5 sq mm - 274 *62/m 89 = 16988
nuts and bolts - 550
------------
57,260

extra
1300 installation
550 transportation.

Rope is an essential item for installing submersible Pumps. Electric Cable(HDPE or any type) and the hose pipe will not bear the weight of the pump. Also due to the vibration of the pump, it may cause wear and tear effect on the cable/Rope. Hence the pump will be tied with the Platic /Fibre rope and Hanged at the Ground Level. For all future maintenance work, using the rope you take take out or reinsert the pump similar to the conventional method of manual lifting water from the open wells using Jute Rope and the Bucket/Koda.

Recently i have installed, In bangalore i heard no one is doing this way. i have order the complete borewell set from Tamil nadu except the HDPE pipe. In that set i found the Rope but the HDPE pipe end fitting dont have the Rope holder and because of this we were unable to put the rope.

Lesson learned from my installation : if people are installing the Borewell and if planning for Rope also to be inserted then you have to talk to HDPE pipe person to put the end fitting which holds the Plasic rope too.

Use of rope is certainly an added safety measure if the HDPE pipe thickness/gauge is less. HDPE pipe thickness has to be proportional to the depth at which the pump will be installed. I did not attach the rope to the pump as advised by the vendor(Kavitha Enterprises, City Market area) as he said the HDPE pipe thickness that was given (I don't remember exact thickness) is sufficient to support the pump installed at 900 ft.

Could other's share their experience as to whether they attached the rope or not . Did anyone face issue while taking out the pump for any repair when the pump did not have the rope attached?.

[monagaadu]

For 900 ft supplier informed that 1" is fine but later he said that its better we go for 1 and 1/2 inch. I havent installed the rope with the HDPE pipe. The pipe is being bolted with the cross rods so that the pump wont fall into the bore. The electric cable has been plastered for every 15-20ft. Even I just heard about the rope thingy but if we push the rope then it should be a good plastic else the water will be contaminated.
