An apparatus for removing debris from a bore hole, comprising a housing, and a cylindrical electric motor coupled coaxially to a direct drive pump. The housing includes a debris entry port into which the debris is induced to flow into the housing, and the inside of the housing is maintained at a pressure which is lower than the outside pressure. The electric motor has a central bore through which material pumped by the pump can pass. The apparatus includes a head rotatable by the motor which engages the debris deposits in the bore hole. Where the pump is a direct drive worm pump, the head may be directly attached to the worm of the pump. In one embodiment, the housing extends along the whole length of the motor and pump, with the apparatus including a port settable to allow debris to be pumped into the housing from either end. Alternatively, a debris collection means may be included for effectively isolating any debris pumped by the pump from the bore hole. This debris collection means may be a pipe extending from the bore hole head to the motor and pump, or it may be a compartment attached to the motor and having a filter through which fluid may pass but which traps debris.
