Ladysmith notes on installation, repairs & parts
Lightning burns out plenty of control boxes on farms around Ladysmith every summer, so ask for surge protection and a good earth, fitted by a qualified electrician. Local workshops repair and rewind borehole, irrigation and factory pumps, and larger motors may go to Durban or Pietermaritzburg. Drillers cover the whole district. Cable, poly pipe and common spares are usually stocked in town.
Who pumps what in Ladysmith
Floods are part of Ladysmith's history. The Klip River runs straight through the town and has broken its banks many times, which is why dams upstream were built partly for flood control, and why shops and homes in the low lying centre still keep drainage pumps ready. Outside town the land opens into cattle and mixed farms that rely on boreholes, from Elandslaagte to the foot of Van Reenen's Pass, and summer thunderstorms with lightning roll in over the Drakensberg. Many residents in Ezakheni and Steadville have dealt with water interruptions and use tanks. The Ezakheni industrial area adds factory pumps, sumps and process water. Pump shops and rewinders sit near the town centre and along the N11, with drillers serving the farms.
Typical borehole pump repairs requests in the area come from:
- Farms: a stock water borehole pulled by crane truck when the troughs stopped filling
- Smallholdings and plots: a plot pump giving less water each month as sand wears the impellers
- Offices, shops, hotels and lodges: a lodge backup borehole pulled, tested and serviced before the dry season
