Installation, repairs & parts in Limpopo: local notes
Polokwane and Tzaneen have the main workshops for rewinds, pump repairs and spares, so a farm pump often travels a long way to be fixed: keep a spare capacitor and pressure switch on hand. Drillers and installers commonly work far into the bush, so ask about travel and setup charges. Bigger abstraction for irrigation may need to be registered with the Department of Water and Sanitation: check before drilling.
Limpopo: the properties, the water and the pump shops
Hot, dry for much of the year and spread over huge distances, Limpopo depends on boreholes more than most provinces. Polokwane and many villages draw a large share of their water from groundwater, and towns have had supply interruptions in long dry spells. Around Tzaneen and Letsitele, avocados, mangoes, citrus and nuts are irrigated from the Letaba catchment and from boreholes, while game farms in the Waterberg, near Hoedspruit and along the Limpopo valley pump water to troughs and pans with solar sets. Mining adds its own demand: platinum near Mokopane, coal at Lephalale and copper and phosphate at Phalaborwa all need dewatering and slurry pumps. Summer heat pushes motors hard, and storms bring lightning.
The requests we see from Limpopo usually come from:
- Farms: a stock water borehole pulled by crane truck when the troughs stopped filling
- Homeowners: a garden borehole pump that hums and trips after a summer storm
- Complexes, estates and body corporates: a communal irrigation borehole with a split drop pipe and no water at the tank
Local tips for Limpopo
Common here: solar pumps on game farms, orchard irrigation, borehole pumps for town and village homes. Ask each supplier about this: ask how the solar array is secured against theft and who handles call-outs. Where they work from: polokwane industrial areas, Tzaneen, Mokopane, Lephalale and Phalaborwa.
Around Limpopo the largest group asking is farms, which usually means a stock water borehole pulled by crane truck when the troughs stopped filling. Before you agree to anything: motor and cable insulation test first. Getting a technician there: long farm drives from Polokwane or Tzaneen; remote game farms plan installs ahead.
