Testing, iron and manganese removal, sediment filtration, UV disinfection, booster pumps and JoJo tank plumbing, carried out by process techs and a certified plumber across Gauteng and the Western Cape.
Not every site needs the same hardware. A guesthouse with clean chemistry but variable bacterial counts after rain gets a different build from a smallholding whose borehole leaves rust rings in the basins. These are the three formats we quote most often, and what each one includes on site.
For boreholes that stain basins, tiles and laundry. We pull a sample, run iron and manganese numbers, then size a backwashing filter ahead of a manganese media bed. Suited to smallholdings and farm houses on their own supply.
For supplies that test clean on chemistry but shift after heavy rain, or municipal water carrying sediment. We keep your existing pressure vessel and tank setup where it works, and add filtration and a UV stage sized for peak morning demand.
For properties where pressure collapses when two or three taps run at once. We replace cycling pressure switches, fit a variable-speed booster, and rebuild the tank stand so a JoJo tank feeds the booster through a correctly sized pressure vessel.
Not sure which format fits? Our approach page walks through how we scope a site, or send us your lab results and a photo of the pump house.
Every job we log comes with its own set of conditions. These are the standing clarifications we apply across borehole testing, filtration, pump work and rainwater harvesting, so there is no confusion later about scope, readings or who does what.
Iron, manganese, turbidity and bacterial results reflect the sample drawn on the day of the site visit. Borehole chemistry shifts with rainfall, drawdown and seasonal water tables, so a clean result in March does not guarantee the same in September. We recommend re-testing after heavy rain or if the water changes colour or taste.
Sizing a filtration skid or a UV stage depends on accurate lab numbers. If you supply results from an accredited lab, we work from those. If you only have a strip test or a rough reading, we say so plainly and treat the design as provisional until a proper sample is analysed.
We keep pressure vessels, JoJo tanks and pipework that are still sound and correctly sized. Replacing a working tank stand or a serviceable pump is not part of a standard install. Where an existing component is undersized for the new demand, we flag it before quoting, not after.
Sediment cartridges, UV lamps and media backwash schedules are maintenance items, not once-off installs. We hand over a written schedule and a wall chart for the pump room. Keeping to it is what holds the post-install readings steady.
A guesthouse in Stellenbosch and a smallholding near Hartbeespoort may both need iron removal, but the pump room, drain routing and peak demand differ. Two jobs under the same heading rarely share the same equipment list or trenching plan.
Our filtration and UV stages are sized to the readings we are given and the demand on site. They reduce iron, sediment and bacterial load, but they are not a substitute for independent potability testing where drinking water compliance is required.
