A working archive of sites we have tested, plumbed and commissioned. Each entry records the water problem, the equipment fitted and the lab readings before and after, from iron-heavy boreholes near Hartbeespoort to sediment and pressure trouble on the East Rand.
Tiger Water Solutions is not a call centre with a van. It is a handful of process technicians and one certified plumber who between them have pulled samples from boreholes in the Cradle of Humankind, rebuilt tank stands on Boland wine farms, and talked more than one body corporate trustee through a pressure switch that kept tripping.
They run the lab work and the site readings: iron and manganese numbers, turbidity, bacterial counts after heavy rain. If a borehole reads 3.1 mg/L iron, they will tell you what media bed and backwash cycle that actually needs, not what fits a generic package.
Pressure vessels, booster pumps, JoJo tank stands, trenching and the pipework that ties it together. Work is signed off to spec, and the layout is left readable so the next person who opens that pump room door can follow the lines without guessing.
Gauteng and the Western Cape, with most of the work clustered around Hartbeespoort, Stellenbosch and the East Rand. Same team on the testing, the install and the follow-up sample, so nothing gets lost between a quote and a working tap.
Farms, guesthouses, smallholdings and body corporates. Each has its own failure pattern: a guesthouse that spikes after rain, a smallholding with rust-stained laundry, a block where pressure collapses the moment two taps open.
Every job gets logged with before-and-after numbers and the equipment fitted. That record is why we can say a filter dropped iron under 0.1 mg/L, or that a UV stage held up across six rooms at morning peak, without dressing it up.
Cartridge intervals, UV lamp hours, backwash settings. Owners leave with a wall chart and a sample tap, so quarterly lab checks and filter changes happen on schedule instead of after something stains the basins again.
Tiger Water Solutions started because too many boreholes in Gauteng and the Western Cape were being "fixed" with whatever pump or filter happened to be on the bakkie that day. We wanted the opposite: test first, write down the numbers, then fit equipment that matches the actual water.
That habit is the whole reason this portfolio exists. Every entry on these pages is a real property, a real water problem and a set of readings taken before and after the work.
Lab results and a photo of the pump house tell us more than a phone description. Iron, manganese, hardness and bacterial counts decide the layout, not guesswork.
A six-room guesthouse and a farm with three labour houses draw water very differently. UV reactors, sediment housings and booster pumps get sized to peak morning flow, not average use.
Cartridge changes, lamp hours and backwash cycles are written on a wall chart in the pump room. Anyone who opens that door should be able to keep the system running without calling us.
Stained basins, cloudy samples and cycling pressure switches are documented alongside the corrected readings. If the numbers do not move, we say so and go back to the drawing board.
The effect we aim for is simple: water that stops staining the laundry, pressure that holds when two taps run at once, and a system the owner understands well enough to maintain. A small team of process techs and a certified plumber, working out of Gauteng and the Western Cape, on farms, guesthouses, smallholdings and body corporate blocks.
