LOCATION:
Browns Pump Shop is located in a prime access position at 16 Mount Leyshon Road, Charters Towers. This business is ideally positioned on the Flinders Highway which is the western road and rail corridor from Townsville to Mount Isa and beyond, as well as the North-South road link between Cairns and Emerald. The residence is located next door at 14 Mount Leyshon Road.
SERVICE:
Browns Pump Shop business is not limited to, but includes the sales and service of borehole submersible pumps, solar pumping systems, electric transfer and pressure pumps, engine driven centrifugal and helical rotor pumps, generators, poly pipe and fittings, PVC pipe and fittings, flexible water hoses of all sizes, water infrastructure for gardens, parks and ovals, water control valves and pressure switches, irrigation and windmill pump supplies, brass float valves and fittings, camlock fittings, water filters, solar panel arrays with frames and electric cables.
Another service offered is the regular cleaning and maintenance of bore holes (to a maximum depth of 150 metres) with a FS Curtis (FAC 110B) 390cfm air-compressor that is mounted on a tandem trailer. Tree root ingression, decaying plant and animal matter as well as sand and dirt affect the viability of bores. Coupled with the use of a borehole camera (200m maximum depth), the compressor assists with the protection of valuable water infrastructure, especially submersible pumps. The compressor can also be used to drive sand spears for the use of sub terrain water sources.
