What to know locally in Rustenburg
Houses in Rustenburg often pair a borehole with a plastic tank and a booster, so the garden and toilets keep running through water cuts. Depth to water varies across the valley, so ask the driller what nearby holes reached. Smallholdings toward Kroondal and Kloof pump for citrus, vegetables and livestock, and some use solar pumps to fill a tank by day. Single phase 4 inch pumps cover most homes and plots.
Who pumps what in Rustenburg
Platinum mining around Rustenburg makes it one of the country's busiest markets for heavy pumps. Shafts and concentrators along the belt from Phokeng to Marikana need dewatering pumps underground, slurry pumps for tailings and process water, and a steady supply of wear parts. Town life brings a different list. Many suburbs, from Safari Gardens to Cashan, have had water interruptions, so houses add tanks, boosters and boreholes. Smallholdings at the foot of the Magaliesberg and around Kroondal pump for vegetables, citrus and livestock. The black clay soils that cover much of the area swell when wet and crack when dry, which matters for pipe trenches and pump plinths. Workshops and mine suppliers fill the light industrial areas on the edge of town.
Typical solar borehole pumps requests in the area come from:
- Mines and quarries: solar pumps at remote boreholes supplying camps and exploration sites
- Factories, plants and depots: water for remote depots, yards and dust suppression without a grid connection
- Homeowners: a small solar pump filling a garden tank from the borehole without using grid power
