I initially got Josh from Advantage bores to come and look at my bore and he quoted me $2400 for a new pump (see below). He told me my controller was also broken (it wasn't). Be wary... in the end I got a new pump for $500 and install was $350!!! Obviously not through him! 80.00 8.00 88.00 LABOR {Pensioner Rates} 240.00 24.00 264.00 HOLMON {6 Stn} AUTOMATIC CONTROLLER INSTALLED 350.00 35.00 385.00 PARTS / MATERIALS / CONSUMABLES 195.00 19.50 214.50 CHEMICALS 65.00 6.50 71.50 PIONEER 321 CENTRIFUGAL PUMP 1280.00 128.00 1408.00 12 MONTH MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY ON PIONEER PUMP 5 YEAR MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY ON CONTROLLER TOTAL AMOUNT 2210.00 221.00 $ 2431.00 Re: Bore Rip off!!! 2Sep 09, 2015 7:05 pm ooh dear, bore pumps are not something you want to skimp out on. $500 bucks is pretty cheap for a bore pump. I don't think you should be warning people to stay away from this guy because he chose to use quality parts?? Id repost and focus on the fact that he definitely told you the controller was broken. leave the price of the pump out of it. Re: Bore Rip off!!! 3Sep 09, 2015 7:14 pm I got a quote on the Pioneer 321 pump from another company and it was still under $500. Even higher horsepower and 3 phase was cheaper! Then with subsequent quotes from different companies all were cheaper... Just a proceed with caution! Re: Bore Rip off!!! 4Sep 09, 2015 8:29 pm what do you mean "still under"?? The value for money on bore pumps is only realised when you spend over 800 bucks on a pump. 1200 should be the minimum, otherwise you will spend 4 times the amount per year on average for replacements. Re: Bore Rip off!!! 5Sep 10, 2015 7:58 pm I mean that for supposedly the same pump (using info that was on the invoice) the other pumps were all under what he quoted me. And the 3 phase and higher horse power pumps were also less there should be ss cable so you can pull up bore pump for service 1 3150 I couldn't attached the photo for some reason.
