In 2023, we acquired the water well camera division from Aries, which left customers asking what next steps look like for Aries water well camera equipment. Acquisitions are notably turbulent at times, but we’ve been able to pick up the pieces and get customers back up and running as quickly as possible. Repairs, upgrades, and inevitable obsolescence of parts are all a normal part of any piece of equipment’s lifespan, so we at LUS have been committed to making this a seamless transition for those with Aries equipment who are looking to move forward.

When you’re working in the field with water well and borehole cameras, not everything is within your control. Weather, terrain, and equipment age all play a role. However, there are circumstances within our control and steps that can be taken to ensure equipment runs smoothly for longer. Here are a few simple ways to keep your equipment performing at its best:

It is no secret that repairing damaged water wells or boreholes can be a costly endeavor. Well, this is also the case with cleaning contaminated ones. This is why it is so important to perform regular maintenance. What most people might not realize is that without proper maintenance and testing, water wells can be exposed to contaminants such as iron oxide or calcium carbonate and manganese deposits. Not only can these contaminants decrease overall pump efficiency, but they can also result in higher energy costs and increased labor. The good news is that Boresaver products treat these issues with ease.

When it comes to borehole inspections, reliability in the field matters just as much as image quality. That’s why the R-Cam 1000 series has become one of our most trusted camera systems for water well and geotechnical professionals. What many people don’t realize is that the R-Cam 1000 is available in two configurations: the R-Cam 1000 XLT and the R-Cam 1000 TLE. Both are built on the same proven camera platform, but the TLE takes things a step further for operators who want added flexibility and cable control.
