Installation, repairs & parts in Brits: local notes
Brits has pump shops, rewinders and drillers who know the plots well, and most installers carry a tripod for pulling borehole pumps by hand. Summer lightning is the usual culprit when a pump stops after a storm, so ask about surge protection and earthing. A rewind is often worth it on a larger motor; for a small pump, ask for a repair quote and a new pump price side by side.
Water and ground in Brits
Smallholdings are what make Brits different. Between the town, Hartbeespoort and the Magaliesberg, thousands of plots run on borehole water for houses, gardens, horses and vegetable tunnels, and a stopped borehole pump is the call local installers get most. The Crocodile River and the canals below Hartbeespoort Dam feed farms that grow vegetables, citrus and grain under irrigation. Municipal supply in Madibeng has a long record of interruptions, so even town houses in Brits often keep a tank and a booster. The town also has a manufacturing and industrial side, with factories that need process and drainage pumps, and the chrome and platinum mines toward Mooinooi add mine work. Lightning on these hills is a frequent cause of burnt control boxes.
The requests we see from Brits usually come from:
- Smallholdings and plots: a spare capacitor and float switch kept on the plot for the borehole
- Homeowners: a new pressure switch for a booster pump on a water tank
- Factories, plants and depots: spare impellers and seals for process pumps before a planned shutdown
Local tips for Brits
Asked for most in Brits: smallholding borehole pumps, canal and river irrigation, tank boosters. Where the pump shops and drillers are: pump shops and drillers in the Brits industrial area and along the R511. A useful tip: ask whether the installer checks the borehole yield before replacing the pump.
Pump Spares usually suit borehole, booster, pool and tank pumps. How it is fitted: matched to the pump, fitted by a repairer. For smallholdings and plots, the biggest group here, that usually means a spare capacitor and float switch kept on the plot for the borehole. On the ground and water: hard rock and clay; summer lightning on the Magaliesberg, dry winter months.
