Alberton notes on installation, repairs & parts
Alrode and New Redruth have pump workshops, motor rewinders and spares suppliers that serve Alberton and the south of Johannesburg. Booster pumps that run all the time or cycle fast usually need a pressure switch, a pressure controller or a new bladder in the pressure tank. Lightning hits the Klipriviersberg area hard in summer, so ask for surge protection on control boxes.
Alberton: the properties, the water and the pump shops
Alberton lies between the Klipriviersberg hills and the industrial belt of Alrode, and it has had more than its share of water cuts, with suburbs like Brackenhurst, Brackendowns and Randhart going days without water. Tanks and boosters are therefore a standard fit on many houses here. Meyersdal and the estates on the slopes of the Klipriviersberg are on rock, which affects both boreholes and drainage. Alrode is a big industrial area with metal works, food plants and transport yards, and that is where many pump shops, rewinders and spares counters are. The Natalspruit and smaller streams run through the area and rise quickly in heavy storms.

- Homeowners: a garden borehole in the suburbs drilled to ride out water cuts
