Installation, repairs & parts in Cape Town: local notes
Cape Town has a deep bench of drillers, pump repairers, rewinders and hire yards in Epping, Montague Gardens, Paarden Eiland and Salt River. Wellpoint pumps lose prime and wear from sand, so foot valves, seals and impellers are common spares. Ask installers to state whether the price includes registration paperwork, the electrical work by a qualified electrician, and the first test run of the pump.
Cape Town: the properties, the water and the pump shops
The drought of 2015 to 2018, and the talk of Day Zero, turned Cape Town into a city of boreholes and wellpoints. Thousands of homes tapped the sandy Cape Flats aquifer and deeper sandstone aquifers for gardens and pools, and the City now asks owners to register boreholes and wellpoints and follow its rules on use, so check with the municipality. Shallow water in the southern suburbs often carries iron that stains walls and paving. Winter rain fills basements and lift pits in the city bowl and on the Foreshore, which is built on reclaimed land, and floods low lying parts of the Cape Flats. Pump shops, rewinders and hire yards are spread through Epping, Montague Gardens, Paarden Eiland and Salt River.
Typical pump control boxes requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a box with dry run and surge protection for a garden borehole pump
- Factories, plants and depots: pump panels with overloads and alarms for process water
- Complexes, estates and body corporates: a VSD panel giving steady pressure from a communal borehole
