Borehole & water supply in North West: local notes
Smallholdings in Brits, Hartbeespoort and Mooinooi often run a 4 inch borehole pump into a tank with a booster for the house. Maize and cattle farms around Lichtenburg, Coligny and Vryburg use bigger three phase pumps or <a href="/solar-borehole-pumps/">solar borehole pumps</a> at remote troughs. Borehole yields vary sharply across the dolomite and the granite, so a proper yield test before choosing the pump pays off.
North West: the properties, the water and the pump shops
The platinum belt runs from Brits through Rustenburg, and its shafts, concentrators and tailings dams keep a whole industry of slurry, dewatering and process pumps at work. Around Brits and Hartbeespoort, smallholdings and vegetable farms take water from boreholes and from canals below the dam. Further west, the maize country around Lichtenburg, Delareyville and Mahikeng leans on groundwater, much of it from dolomite aquifers that feed springs and town supplies, while cattle farms towards Vryburg still have windmills being swapped for solar pumps. Klerksdorp and Orkney sit on old gold mines with their own water to manage. Summers bring heavy storms; winters are dry, and borehole levels can drop late in the season.
Who asks for pressure tanks around North West, most often first:
- Mines and quarries: pressure vessels on site water and wash down systems
- Homeowners: a small tank on the booster so the pump stops starting for every tap
- Factories, plants and depots: vessels on process water and wash bay pump systems
Local tips for North West
Pump suppliers serving North West mostly work from here: rustenburg and Brits industrial areas, Klerksdorp, Potchefstroom and Mahikeng. The jobs that come up most: slurry and dewatering pumps on the mines, smallholding boreholes, solar stock pumps. When you ask for quotes, ask whether travel to the farm is priced per kilometre or as a fixed call-out.
Sizes vary: often 24 L, 50 L or 100 L, larger on farms. Here, mines and quarries lead the requests, typically for pressure vessels on site water and wash down systems. One local point to raise: rustenburg and Brits workshops cover the belt; western farms are long drives out.
