Installation, repairs & parts in Potchefstroom: local notes
Workshops in Potchefstroom rewind motors and repair booster, pool and borehole pumps, and many installers also service farms toward Ventersdorp. If you are drilling on or near dolomite, ask whether the driller recommends a geotechnical check first. Lightning protection on the control box and a proper earth are worth asking for. Spares such as pressure switches and capacitors are usually easy to find in town.
Potchefstroom: the properties, the water and the pump shops
Potchefstroom's water story starts underground. The Mooi River that runs through town is fed by dolomitic springs upstream, and dolomite underlies parts of the district, which means boreholes can be strong but drilling needs care because of the risk of sinkholes. Many homeowners in Baillie Park, Van der Hoff Park and Dassierand use boreholes for gardens, and student houses and flats near the university often have tanks and boosters for water cuts. Around the town, smallholdings and farms grow vegetables, maize and lucerne, pumping from boreholes and the river. Agricultural training and research here keep farmers well informed about pump choices. Summer storms on the Highveld bring lightning, and pump control boxes on exposed plots take a beating.
