Borehole & water supply in Mbombela: local notes
Macadamia and citrus farmers around Mbombela pump from the Crocodile River, farm dams and boreholes, so a quote often covers a pump, a filter bank and controls together. A borehole in granite can give plenty or almost nothing, so wait for the yield test before sizing. Smallholdings around Karino and White River commonly run a 4 inch borehole pump to a tank, then a booster to the house.
Mbombela: the properties, the water and the pump shops
Irrigation is the backbone of pump demand around Mbombela. Citrus groves along the Crocodile River valley, macadamia orchards toward White River and Karino, and banana farms near Hazyview all need water moved from rivers, dams and boreholes to drip lines and micro sprinklers. Growers often run several three phase irrigation pumps with filters and VSDs, and solar pumping is growing where grid power is far away. In the city, hilly suburbs mean pressure problems at the top of a street, so many houses pump from a tank. Ground here is mostly granite and gneiss, and borehole yields vary a lot over short distances. Lodges between Hazyview and the Kruger gates need sewage and pond pumps that keep working through summer storms.
Typical submersible pumps requests in the area come from:
- Farms: borehole and dam pumps for livestock water and irrigation, often on three phase
- Homeowners: a borehole pump for the garden or a pump to send tank water to the house
- Complexes, estates and body corporates: communal borehole pumps, storm water sumps and sewage pumps for the complex
