Gqeberha notes on installation, repairs & parts
Drillers and borehole installers grew in number during the drought, so ask for references and a written quote that states the depth, casing, pump and pipe. Rewinders and pump repairers in Struandale, Deal Party and Sidwell handle industrial motors as well as garden pumps. Salt air corrodes control box hinges and terminals, so a sealed box in shade helps. Pump hire covers trench work and flood clean ups.
Gqeberha: the properties, the water and the pump shops
Nelson Mandela Bay learnt about water the hard way. A long drought left the supply dams very low for several years, restrictions were tight, and thousands of homes and businesses drilled boreholes or installed tanks. That is still the base of most pump work here: borehole pumps for gardens in Walmer, Lorraine and Newton Park, booster pumps on tanks across the northern areas, and pressure sets for factories. Groundwater quality varies, and some holes give salty or iron rich water, so test before you drink it. Leaks and burst pipes add their own outages. The harbour, the motor industry in Struandale and Markman, and the Coega zone keep industrial and dewatering pumps busy, and the wind and salt air wear out surface equipment.
Who asks for pump control boxes around Gqeberha, most often first:
- Homeowners: a box with dry run and surge protection for a garden borehole pump
- Complexes, estates and body corporates: a VSD panel giving steady pressure from a communal borehole
- Contractors and drillers: an electrician fitting control boxes on a borehole install contract
