Pump Hire in Pretoria
Need to hire a pump in Pretoria? Say what needs pumping (a basement, trench, dam or pool), roughly how much water and what is in it, how far it must go and for how long, so hire companies that deliver to Pretoria and around Gauteng can quote the right pump and hoses.
The main pump hire page explains the types, the sizing and the costs in more detail.
Pretoria notes on installation, repairs & parts
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.
Pretoria: the properties, the water and the pump shops
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.
Typical pump hire requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a drainage pump hired for a weekend to empty a flooded garage or a pool
- Factories, plants and depots: temporary pumps hired during a plant shutdown or tank cleaning
- Smallholdings and plots: a diesel pump hired to move water from a dam with no power nearby
Local tips for Pretoria
Common here: garden boreholes in Pretoria East, smallholding pumps, tank and booster setups. Ask each supplier about this: ask the driller what nearby holes yielded and whether your stand is on dolomite. Where they work from: silverton and Waltloo in the east, Rosslyn and Pretoria West for bigger workshops.
Around Pretoria the largest group asking is homeowners, which usually means a drainage pump hired for a weekend to empty a flooded garage or a pool. Before you agree to anything: what is in the water and how high it goes. Getting a technician there: drillers and installers cover the city and the plots north to Hammanskraal.
