Installation, repairs & parts in Pietermaritzburg: local notes
Lightning is the main enemy of pump electronics in the Midlands, and burnt control boxes and motors keep Pietermaritzburg rewinders busy from October to March. Ask for surge arrestors and a proper earth when a new box is fitted, by a qualified electrician. Drillers here travel well into the Midlands. Workshops in Willowton repair borehole, irrigation and pool pumps, and cable, pipe and spares are sold by the metre and in rolls.
Who pumps what in Pietermaritzburg
Pietermaritzburg sits in a bowl below the Midlands, with Midmar Dam and the Umgeni River upstream feeding the city through the bulk water system. Many suburbs have had outages and low pressure when pipes fail, so tanks with booster pumps are common in Hayfields, Scottsville and Northdale. Up the hill in Hilton, and out towards Howick and Merrivale, smallholdings and lifestyle plots drill boreholes for gardens, horses and vegetable tunnels. The Midlands summer brings violent thunderstorms with lightning that destroys control boxes, and the Msunduzi River rises after heavy rain. Pump shops, rewinders and irrigation suppliers work from Willowton and Mkondeni, close to the N3, and many also serve dairy and timber farms further into the Midlands.
Who asks for pump spares around Pietermaritzburg, most often first:
- Homeowners: a new pressure switch for a booster pump on a water tank
- Farms: valves, probes and splice kits stocked for boreholes far from town
- Offices, shops, hotels and lodges: seal and bearing kits for hotel pool and pressure pumps
