Pump Cable and Pipe in Northern Cape
Buying pump cable or pipe in Northern Cape? Give the pump size, the depth it hangs at, the distance from the borehole to the control box and the tank, and whether it is single or three phase, so pump shops and suppliers serving Northern Cape and Northern Cape can quote the right sizes and lengths.
The main pump cable and pipe page explains the types, the sizing and the costs in more detail.
Northern Cape notes on installation, repairs & parts
With so few workshops, many farmers keep a spare pump, cable joint kit and control box parts. Kimberley, Upington and Kathu have the rewinders and pump repairers; drillers travel very long distances and price setup and travel separately, so ask. Brackish water can scale pumps and corrode fittings, so stainless bodies are worth asking about. Larger abstraction may need registration with the Department of Water and Sanitation.
Who pumps what in Northern Cape
This is the driest and emptiest province, and on most of its farms the only water is underground. Sheep and cattle farms across the Karoo and the Kalahari have long relied on windmills, and many are now changing to solar pumps that fill reservoirs by day. Some towns, De Aar among them, depend heavily on boreholes. Along the Orange River at Upington, Kakamas and Keimoes, vineyards for table grapes and raisins pump straight from the river and canals. Around Kathu, Postmasburg and Hotazel, iron ore and manganese mines dewater pits and move slurry, and Kimberley still carries its diamond heritage. Groundwater in places is brackish or high in salts, and distances between workshops are vast.
The requests we see from Northern Cape usually come from:
- Farms: heavier cable and column pipe for a deep three phase borehole
- Municipalities, schools and clinics: replacement cable for village boreholes after cable theft
- Homeowners: new cable, pipe and rope for a garden borehole pump going back down

Pump Cable and Pipe usually suit borehole, deep well and solar pump sets. How it is fitted: sold by the metre or in rolls. For farms, the biggest group here, that usually means heavier cable and column pipe for a deep three phase borehole. On the ground and water: very dry with hot summers and cold nights; brackish or salty groundwater in places.
