Help with borehole water, filtration and pump systems

Whether you are chasing a quote, waiting on lab results, or trying to work out why pressure drops when two taps run, this page points you to the right place. Start with the question closest to your situation and follow it through.

How to reach the team when something is off with your water

Most calls start the same way: a basin that stains, a pump that short-cycles, or a tank that runs dry by mid-morning. Tell us the site, the symptom and what you already know about the supply, and we will point you to the right next step. If your question is about a job already on our books, mention the site name so we can pull the file.

Phone and site visits

Fastest for pump cycling, leaks, pressure loss or a tank overflowing. Call 0322032882 during working hours. For Gauteng and Western Cape sites we can usually schedule a look at the pump house within a few working days, depending on the route.

Email with your lab results

Best for quotes and treatment sizing. Send your latest water analysis, a photo of the pump room or tank stand, and a note on how many people or units the supply serves. Iron, manganese, hardness and bacterial counts are the numbers we look at first.

Response times we work to

Calls and messages

Same working day for anything logged before 15:00. After-hours calls about burst lines or flooding are picked up where we can.

Quotes from lab results

Two to three working days once we have your analysis and a clear photo of the pump house or tank setup.

Service and cartridge swaps

Booked in advance, usually within a week. UV lamp hours and sediment changes are logged on the wall chart in your pump room.

Questions we get before a site visit

Most of these come up on the phone or in email before we ever see the pump house. If yours is not here, send it through with a photo of your setup and we will answer it directly.

What do you need from me to quote on borehole treatment?

Your latest lab results if you have them, plus a photo of the pump house and the tank or pressure vessel. If there are no lab results yet, we can arrange a sample run first. The iron, manganese and bacterial numbers decide the whole filter train, so guessing here costs more later.

My water stains the basins brown. Is that always iron?

Usually iron, sometimes manganese riding along with it. Both leave marks on tiles and laundry, but they need different media beds and different backwash settings. That is why we test before sizing anything, rather than fitting a generic sediment filter and hoping.

Do I need UV if the water looks clear?

Clear water says nothing about bacteria. Boreholes that test fine in winter can show counts after heavy rain, which is common on guesthouse and farm supplies. A sediment stage ahead of a UV reactor handles the particles, and a sample tap after the UV lets you check it quarterly.

Why does my pressure drop when two taps run?

Often a pressure switch cycling on a pump that is too small for peak draw, or a pressure vessel that has lost its charge. On body corporate and multi-unit sites we usually look at a variable-speed booster and a correctly sized vessel before touching the pipework.

How much maintenance does a filtration skid need?

Sediment cartridges get swapped on a schedule that depends on how dirty your supply runs. Iron and manganese beds backwash on a timer and need periodic media checks. UV lamps have a rated hour life and should be logged. We leave a wall chart in the pump room so nobody has to remember dates.

Can you work with an existing JoJo tank and pump setup?

Yes, and we often do. Plenty of sites just need the tank stand rebuilt, a filter added ahead of the booster, or the plumbing rerouted so the tank feeds the house properly. We keep what is sound and replace what is causing the cycling or the sediment.

Still stuck on where to start? The quickest route is a message with your site details, or read through the contact page for how we handle quotes and site visits. If you would rather check how we treat your information first, the privacy policy covers that.
