SubmersiblePump.co.za is a free quote service for submersible pumps and pump services in South Africa. Whether it is a borehole pump for the garden, a pump for the tank so the house has water through load-shedding and water cuts, a solar pump for a farm, a sewage pump for an estate, dewatering for a building site, or a repair on a pump that has stopped, one request reaches the suppliers and technicians near you.

How it works

Fill in the duty sheet at the bottom of the page. For water supply, give the depth to the water, the height to the tank or the house, the pipe run and how much water you need, and it adds up the total head and a rough motor size, and draws the borehole in section. For water to get rid of, give the size of the pit, basement or trench and how soon it must be empty, and it works out the volume and the flow. For repairs and spares, just say how many. We send your request to pump suppliers and technicians who work in your area, and they quote you directly. It costs you nothing.

Everything we take requests for

From a garden borehole in Pretoria East and a tank and booster for a house in Centurion, to a solar pump in place of a windmill on a farm near Bloemfontein, irrigation from a dam in the Lowveld, a sewage pump station for an estate in Ballito, dewatering a trench in sandy ground in Durban, a sump pump for a Sandton basement, slurry pumps for a pit near Rustenburg, a pool pump that hums but will not start in Gqeberha, or a new borehole drilled on a smallholding outside Polokwane.

Getting quotes you can compare

Two quotes for "a borehole pump" can be very different jobs. Say what the water is for, the borehole depth and yield if you know them, the height to the tank or house, the power on site and whether you want supply only or supply and install. Then check that each quote states the pump and motor size, the flow at your head, the drop pipe, cable and rope, the depth the pump is set at, the control box and protection, who does the electrical work, the call-out and travel, and the guarantee.

Frequently asked questions

Does SubmersiblePump.co.za sell or install pumps?
No. We are a free quote service. You send one request and we pass it to independent pump suppliers, borehole installers, drillers, pump repairers and pump hire companies who work in your area. They contact you directly with a price, and you are under no obligation to accept any of them.
What is the difference between a submersible pump and a surface pump?
A submersible pump works under water and pushes the water up the pipe, so it can lift from deep in a borehole and never needs priming. A surface pump sits on dry ground and sucks, which in practice only works up to about 7 to 8 m. That is why deep water needs a submersible, while a booster pump beside a tank is a surface pump.
What size pump do I need?
Two numbers decide it: the flow (how many litres or cubic metres an hour) and the total head (the depth to the water, plus the height to the tank or tap, plus pipe friction and the pressure you want). The duty sheet on this page adds the head up for you. The pump must never take more than the borehole can give, so the yield test comes first.
My borehole pump has stopped. Can I get it repaired?
Usually, yes. A technician pulls the pump, tests the motor and the cable, and checks the control box, the capacitor and the protection. Sand wear, a burnt motor and a failed capacitor are common causes. See borehole pump repairs and control boxes.
