A pump is sized by two numbers: how much water and how high it must go. Put them in one request for pressure tanks in Centurion and we pass it to pump shops and plumbers working in Centurion and nearby areas of Gauteng.
Pressure Tanks in Centurion
Need a pressure tank in Centurion? Say what pump it works with, its cut-in and cut-out pressure if known, and how the old tank is behaving. Independent pump shops and plumbers around Centurion can then quote for a new tank, a bladder or a check of the whole system.

Centurion notes on borehole & water supply
Because many stands sit on dolomite, a <a href="/booster-pumps/">booster pump</a> on a water tank is often the first choice for backup water in Eldoraigne, Lyttelton and Highveld. Where the municipality allows a borehole, ask the driller about the dolomite and the yield, since holes can vary greatly over short distances. Smallholdings at Mnandi and Erasmia on the western side run borehole pumps for houses, horses and vegetable tunnels.
Who pumps what in Centurion
Dolomite shapes every water decision in Centurion. Sinkholes have opened in Lyttelton, Eldoraigne, Valhalla and along the N1 over the years, and drilling a borehole or letting water leak into the ground on dolomite can make things worse, so Tshwane controls boreholes in these areas and may ask for a geotechnical report. Where drilling is allowed, the dolomite can hold a lot of water. Many households in Rooihuiskraal, Wierda Park and Midstream rely instead on water tanks and boosters through cuts. The Hennops River floods the low ground around the Centurion lake in heavy storms, and smallholdings at Mnandi, Erasmia and Olievenhoutbosch run on borehole water.
The requests we see from Centurion usually come from:
- Homeowners: a small tank on the booster so the pump stops starting for every tap
- Smallholdings and plots: a larger tank on the borehole system for steady pressure to the house
- Offices, shops, hotels and lodges: pressure vessels on building pressure sets and backup water
Local tips for Centurion
Asked for most in Centurion: tank and booster backups, estate sewage stations, boreholes where dolomite allows. Where the pump shops and drillers are: hennopspark, Sunderland Ridge and Lyttelton, close to the N1 and N14. A useful tip: ask whether a geotechnical report is needed before any borehole is drilled.
Sizes vary: often 24 L, 50 L or 100 L, larger on farms. Here, homeowners lead the requests, typically for a small tank on the booster so the pump stops starting for every tap. One local point to raise: installers from Hennopspark and Pretoria cover Centurion in a short drive.
Service area: Centurion and surrounds
Requests from Centurion go to pump suppliers and technicians that already serve Irene, Eldoraigne, Rooihuiskraal, Lyttelton, Midstream, Olievenhoutbosch, Highveld and the rest of the area. Say whether you need supply only or supply and install, and whether a site visit suits you.
