Free State notes on installation, repairs & parts

Bloemfontein, Welkom, Kroonstad and Bethlehem have rewinders and pump workshops that handle farm and domestic pumps; deeper rural farms often wait for a technician to plan a route. Frost damage is a winter repair job, so ask about lagging exposed pipe. Lightning burns control boxes every summer. Larger abstraction for irrigation may need to be registered or licensed with the Department of Water and Sanitation, so check.

Water and ground 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.

Who asks for borehole pump installation around Free State, most often first:

  • Farms: a deeper three phase set lowered by crane truck to fill stock troughs and a reservoir
  • Smallholdings and plots: one pump feeding the house, the animals and a veg garden through a tank on a stand
  • Mines and quarries: site supply boreholes equipped with pumps, pipe and control panels
