Installation, repairs & parts in Boksburg: local notes
Pump shops and rewinders in Jet Park and nearby Germiston and Wadeville handle repairs for Boksburg. For booster pumps that cycle or will not start, the fault is often a pressure switch, a capacitor or a waterlogged pressure tank. A workshop can test and replace these quickly. Lightning is common in summer, so ask for surge protection on control boxes and boosters.
Boksburg: the properties, the water and the pump shops
Gold built Boksburg, and the East Rand mines left a flooded underground basin beneath the area, where rising mine water has been an ongoing concern for years. On the surface, the town is a mix of family suburbs and busy light industry. Sunward Park, Parkdene and Beyers Park homes have dealt with water cuts and pressure drops, and tanks with boosters are now a common sight. Jet Park, Witfield and the logistics yards near the airport need sump, wash bay and fire pumps. Boksburg Lake and the pans around town fill up quickly in heavy storms. Parts of Ekurhuleni lie on dolomite, so ask about the ground before drilling.
Typical borehole drilling requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a garden borehole in the suburbs drilled to ride out water cuts
- Municipalities, schools and clinics: village water project boreholes drilled, tested and equipped
- Mines and quarries: boreholes drilled for site water supply and groundwater monitoring
