I have a Mill in France that has a new Borehole, located circa 40
metres away, the Large size conduit (circa 5 inch) is already buried
in the ground, I am going to fit a Borehole pump 20 metres down the
hole, then run the wire through the conduit to the Mill.
But how do I get the wire to feed 40 metres down the conduit?, I have
read on the net that I could use curtain wire, but will this feed 40
metres without Kinking? I am reluctant to purchase a Quick cable set
as they come in 10 metre lengths and I would need to buy 4 of them
for a one off job.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

This is provided the water can drain out and dry out?
Option 2 : tie a plastic ball with some string push the ball down the
conduit as far as possible then make sure the string cannot get obstructed
and start hosing water into the conduit,preferably with a good water
pressure or pressure washer.
