What to know locally in Upington
Grape farmers along the Orange River pump from the river and canals into drip systems, so irrigation pumps, filters and pressure control are the main buys. Away from the river, sheep and game farms in the Kalahari use solar borehole pumps to fill reservoirs, and the sun is rarely the limit. Groundwater can be brackish, so ask for a water test before choosing a pump for a house.
Who pumps what in Upington
Upington is a green strip of vineyards in a desert. Table grapes, raisin grapes and some wine grapes grow along the Orange River from Groblershoop to Kakamas, watered by canals and pumps that lift river water onto the farms and into drip systems. Irrigation pumps, filters and pump stations are the main business here, with repairs needed fast in the hot months when vines cannot wait. Away from the river, the Kalahari and Bushmanland farms run on boreholes for sheep, goats and game, and solar pumps suit the long sunny days. Groundwater can be salty, so test it. Summer heat is extreme, which is hard on motors, cables and control panels standing in the sun.

- Farms: tank pumps supplying cottages, dairies and stores from storage
