Eastern Cape notes on installation, repairs & parts
Gqeberha and East London have most of the rewinders and pump repairers, with Mthatha and Makhanda serving their regions. Drillers were busy for years in Nelson Mandela Bay, so ask what nearby holes yielded and check whether your municipality wants the borehole registered. Coastal salt air and windblown sand wear pumps and boxes, so ask about stainless parts and sealed enclosures.
Who pumps what in Eastern Cape
Few provinces have felt water stress as sharply. The long drought that drained the dams supplying Nelson Mandela Bay pushed thousands of Gqeberha households to drill boreholes and fit tanks, and Makhanda is known for long water outages. In the Karoo around Graaff-Reinet, Cradock and Somerset East, sheep farms depend on boreholes and windmills, now often changed to solar. The Sundays River Valley around Kirkwood grows citrus on canal and borehole water. Kariega, the Coega zone and East London have car plants and factories that use process and drainage pumps. On the coast, sandy ground near Jeffreys Bay and Port Alfred calls for wellpoints, and the old Transkei relies on springs and boreholes.
The requests we see from Eastern Cape usually come from:
- Homeowners: a box with dry run and surge protection for a garden borehole pump
- Farms: three phase panels with phase failure protection on irrigation boreholes
- Smallholdings and plots: a float switch and control box so the pump fills the tank on its own
