Installation, repairs & parts in Pretoria: local notes
Workshops in Silverton and Waltloo repair and rewind borehole, pool and booster motors, and many stock cable, pipe and pressure switches for the trade. Lightning on the koppies is hard on control boxes, so surge and dry run protection are worth the extra. Drillers working the east know which areas are dolomite and may ask for a geotechnical opinion first; Tshwane has its own borehole rules, so check with the municipality before you drill.
Water and ground in Pretoria
Pretoria East is borehole country. In Garsfontein, Moreleta Park, Faerie Glen and Lynnwood, a borehole for the garden is almost as common as a pool, and many owners now plumb it into a water tank as well, because Tshwane has had repeated water cuts and pressure problems in the east. North of the Magaliesberg, Akasia and Montana sit on different rock, and the smallholdings of Mooikloof, Kameeldrift and Roodeplaat rely on boreholes for house, garden and animals. Parts of the south and east lie on dolomite, where the municipality may restrict drilling. Pump shops, drillers and rewinders work out of Silverton, Waltloo, Rosslyn and Pretoria West.
The requests we see from Pretoria usually come from:
- Homeowners: a box with dry run and surge protection for a garden borehole pump
- Smallholdings and plots: a float switch and control box so the pump fills the tank on its own
- Complexes, estates and body corporates: a VSD panel giving steady pressure from a communal borehole
