What to know locally in Worcester
Worcester has rewinders, irrigation suppliers and pump repairers who know farm pumps well, and winter is the time to pull and service them before the heat. Lightning is less frequent than inland, but floods damage motors and panels on the river banks. Drillers cover the Breede valley and the Hex River. Cable, poly pipe and spares are stocked in Worcester, Robertson and De Doorns.
Water and ground in Worcester
Worcester is the hub of the Breede River valley, one of the country's big irrigation areas. Table grapes in the Hex River valley around De Doorns, wine grapes around Rawsonville and Robertson, and fruit and vegetables along the river all depend on water pumped from canals, farm dams, the Breede River and boreholes. Brandvlei Dam and the irrigation schemes supply much of it, and summers are hot and dry, so pumps run long hours from spring to autumn. Winter storms can bring floods down the Breede and the Hex, with damage to pump houses on low lying farms. In town, homes in Avian Park and Zwelethemba use tanks and boosters. Pump shops, irrigation suppliers and rewinders line the industrial roads of Worcester.
Typical pump spares requests in the area come from:
- 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
- Smallholdings and plots: a spare capacitor and float switch kept on the plot for the borehole
