What to know locally in Free State
Many Free State farms are swapping windmills for <a href="/solar-borehole-pumps/">solar borehole pumps</a> at stock troughs, with a reservoir sized for a few cloudy days. Grain farms run three phase pumps into pivots and dams around Bothaville, Hoopstad and Jacobsdal. In Bloemfontein and Welkom, homes facing water cuts fit a tank with a booster or drill a garden borehole, and pressure tanks keep the pump from cycling.
Who pumps what in Free State
Maize, sunflower, wheat and cattle cover most of the Free State, and almost every farm has a borehole somewhere, many still with a windmill turning over a stock dam. Farmers are steadily replacing those windmills with solar pumps and adding centre pivots fed by boreholes and rivers along the Vaal, the Vet and the Modder. In the south, the Orange and Riet rivers supply irrigation schemes around Jacobsdal. Welkom and Virginia sit on the goldfields, where mines have long pumped water from underground, and Sasolburg has a large petrochemical industry. Bloemfontein has faced water cuts in many suburbs, pushing homes towards tanks and boreholes. Winters bring hard frost, which splits exposed pipes and pumps.
The requests we see from Free State usually come from:
- Farms: boosting tank water to the farmhouse, cottages and stores
- Factories, plants and depots: boosting process and wash water from storage tanks
- Homeowners: a booster on the tank so showers and taps work during water cuts
Local tips for Free State
Pump suppliers serving Free State mostly work from here: bloemfontein industrial areas such as Hamilton and Hilton, Welkom, Bethlehem, Kroonstad. The jobs that come up most: solar pumps replacing windmills, pivot irrigation, Bloemfontein home boreholes. When you ask for quotes, ask whether the installer will frost protect exposed pipe and the pump at the surface.
Booster Pumps usually suit houses, flats, offices and complexes. How it is fitted: surface pump on a plinth beside the tank. For farms, the biggest group here, that usually means boosting tank water to the farmhouse, cottages and stores. On the ground and water: hot summer storms with lightning, hard winter frost on exposed pipework.
