Brits notes on borehole & water supply
Most plots around Brits rely on a 4 inch borehole pump to a tank, then a booster or pressure tank to the house. If yours keeps running dry by afternoon, the pump may be bigger than the hole can give. Irrigation farmers along the Crocodile River and the canals use surface centrifugal pumps from the water and three phase borehole pumps for tunnels and pivots. Solar pumps suit plots with long cable runs.
Who pumps what in Brits
Smallholdings are what make Brits different. Between the town, Hartbeespoort and the Magaliesberg, thousands of plots run on borehole water for houses, gardens, horses and vegetable tunnels, and a stopped borehole pump is the call local installers get most. The Crocodile River and the canals below Hartbeespoort Dam feed farms that grow vegetables, citrus and grain under irrigation. Municipal supply in Madibeng has a long record of interruptions, so even town houses in Brits often keep a tank and a booster. The town also has a manufacturing and industrial side, with factories that need process and drainage pumps, and the chrome and platinum mines toward Mooinooi add mine work. Lightning on these hills is a frequent cause of burnt control boxes.
The requests we see from Brits usually come from:
- Smallholdings and plots: a larger tank on the borehole system for steady pressure to the house
- Factories, plants and depots: vessels on process water and wash bay pump systems
- Complexes, estates and body corporates: vessels on communal pressure sets and garden systems

The jobs that come up most: smallholding borehole pumps, canal and river irrigation, tank boosters. When you ask for quotes, ask whether the installer checks the borehole yield before replacing the pump.
Pressure Tanks usually suit borehole, booster and tank pump systems. How it is fitted: on the pump outlet near the pressure switch. For smallholdings and plots, the biggest group here, that usually means a larger tank on the borehole system for steady pressure to the house. On the ground and water: hard rock and clay; summer lightning on the Magaliesberg, dry winter months.
