Solar Borehole Pumps in Brits

Brits notes on borehole & water supply
Most plots around Brits rely on a 4 inch borehole pump to a tank, then a booster or pressure tank to the house. If yours keeps running dry by afternoon, the pump may be bigger than the hole can give. Irrigation farmers along the Crocodile River and the canals use surface centrifugal pumps from the water and three phase borehole pumps for tunnels and pivots. Solar pumps suit plots with long cable runs.
Who pumps what 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.
Typical solar borehole pumps requests in the area come from:
- Smallholdings and plots: a solar kit keeping the house tank and animal troughs full through load-shedding
- Homeowners: a small solar pump filling a garden tank from the borehole without using grid power
- Factories, plants and depots: water for remote depots, yards and dust suppression without a grid connection
Local tips for Brits
Common here: smallholding borehole pumps, canal and river irrigation, tank boosters. Ask each supplier about this: ask whether the installer checks the borehole yield before replacing the pump. Where they work from: pump shops and drillers in the Brits industrial area and along the R511.
Around Brits the largest group asking is smallholdings and plots, which usually means a solar kit keeping the house tank and animal troughs full through load-shedding. Before you agree to anything: borehole yield and daily water use. Getting a technician there: installers cover plots from Hartbeespoort to Mooinooi; Pretoria is about 50 km.
