Tzaneen notes on installation, repairs & parts
Irrigation pump repairs here are seasonal: most growers want pumps serviced before the dry winter and spring. Local rewinders handle orchard pump motors and the occasional borehole pump. Lightning strikes are common in summer, so surge protection on control boxes and VSDs pays for itself. Installers and drillers cover the farms, but ask how call-out and travel are charged on far blocks.
Water and ground in Tzaneen
Fruit sets the pace in Tzaneen. Citrus around Letsitele, avocados and macadamias on the slopes toward Politsi and Duiwelskloof, and mangoes and bananas in the warmer valleys all run on irrigation, so most pump work here is about moving water from the Letaba system, farm dams and boreholes to drip and micro sprinklers. Growers want reliable three phase pumps, filters and VSDs, and the busiest time for repairs is the dry winter and spring. The escarpment toward Magoebaskloof and Haenertsburg is much wetter, with forestry, trout dams and guest farms. Town houses use tanks and boosters when supply is interrupted. Heavy summer rain and lightning test control boxes and pump stations every season.
Typical pump cable and pipe requests in the area come from:
- Farms: heavier cable and column pipe for a deep three phase borehole
- Homeowners: new cable, pipe and rope for a garden borehole pump going back down
- Complexes, estates and body corporates: replacement drop pipe and cable for a communal borehole after a split
