No, we do a free initial assessment and upon acceptance, we perform a detailed hydro geological survey which will identify formations in accessible areas to drill with the highest probability of water. It is important to note we are looking for breaks and cracks in the formation where water may flow as water is not possible to detect.

The actual work can be done reasonably quickly, however, there are phases in the process which delay this. For example, after installing the borehole pump it is advisable to run the borehole to clean the borehole and allow it to settle. An inconclusive result will require retesting before finalising the filtration requirements. Waiting for the lab result can take up to 2 weeks depending on the lab backlog at the time. 

Absolutely, we offer maintenance plans as well as resolving technical issues and can assist with upgrading your filtration system too.

We focus primarily on locations in Johannesburg and surrounding areas. Please reach out and we can see how we can assist.

Why do I need a filtration system for my borehole water?

Borehole water can contain impurities such as sediment, bacteria, heavy metals, and other contaminants. A proper filtration system ensures the water is safe for household use, protects plumbing and appliances, and improves taste and quality.

Absolutely! We strive to provide your property with exceptional drinking water that is SANS 241 compliant. We can also do continuous water testing and modify your filtration system whenever the need arises

The right filtration system depends on your water quality. A water test will determine if you need sediment filters, carbon filters for taste and odor, UV sterilization for bacteria, or reverse osmosis for heavy metals and salts. We provide customized solutions based on your water analysis. See here for more details.

Is rainwater safe to use for drinking and household purposes?

Rainwater is generally clean when it falls, but it can pick up contaminants from roofs, gutters, and storage tanks. To make it safe for drinking and household use, a proper filtration and purification system— amongst others, including sediment filters, carbon filters, and UV sterilization—is recommended. If you are only using it for the garden, then we normally only filter the sediment to ensure the system does not get clogged. Click here for more details.

The amount of rainwater you can collect depends on your roof size, rainfall patterns, and storage capacity. A well-designed system can significantly reduce reliance on municipal water, especially for non-potable uses like irrigation, flushing toilets, and laundry. With proper storage and filtration, it can also supplement drinking water needs. It is important to note, however, there are many factors that determine the quantity of water and certainly would need to be supplemented by municipal or other water source.

How does a municipal backup water system work?

A municipal backup system stores water from the mains supply in a tank, ensuring you have water available during outages or low-pressure periods. It would normally run through this system permanently to ensure that water does not stagnate in your tank. It is recommended that some sort of filtration is included to maintain water quality.

The ideal tank size depends on your household’s water usage and the frequency of municipal supply interruptions. A typical home may require a 1,000–5,000-liter tank, but larger households or businesses may need more capacity to ensure a continuous supply.

How often do borehole filtration systems need maintenance?

Maintenance frequency depends on the type of filtration system and water usage. Typically, sediment filters need replacement every 3–6 months, carbon filters every 6–12 months (please check), and UV bulbs annually. Note however that this may vary to a large degree depending on the water quality and whether it is a new or an established borehole. Regular servicing ensures optimal performance and longevity.

Neglecting maintenance can lead to clogged filters, reduced water pressure, and ineffective filtration, allowing contaminants to pass through. Over time, this can damage plumbing, appliances, and even pose health risks. Regular servicing ensures your system operates efficiently and provides clean, safe water.
