Mthatha notes on installation, repairs & parts
Pump repairs and rewinds are done in Mthatha, but larger motors and specialised parts may go to East London. Installers often travel far for rural jobs, so ask what the call-out covers and how spares will reach the site. Theft of solar panels and cable is a real risk, so ask for anti-theft frames, locked caps and buried cable. Surge protection helps where storms are frequent.
Water and ground in Mthatha
Around Mthatha, the water question is often about villages, not suburbs. The town takes water from the Mthatha Dam and river, but many areas have had long interruptions, and in the rolling country towards Libode, Mqanduli, Tsolo and Ngcobo, many homesteads, schools and clinics depend on boreholes, springs, rainwater tanks and water trucked in. Community boreholes with solar pumps and storage tanks are a common project, and many need repairs after pumps, cable or panels fail or are stolen. Summer brings heavy thunderstorms and lightning across the hills. In town, businesses and homes keep tanks and booster pumps. Pump shops and repairers sit in Mthatha's industrial area and along the N2, and installers drive long distances on gravel roads to rural sites.
Typical pump control boxes requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a box with dry run and surge protection for a garden borehole pump
- Municipalities, schools and clinics: village borehole panels with lightning protection and lockable doors
- Smallholdings and plots: a float switch and control box so the pump fills the tank on its own
