What to know locally in Sandton
Houses in Bryanston, Hurlingham and Morningside often have a garden borehole in granite, with the pump feeding irrigation, the pool and sometimes a tank. Apartment blocks in Sunninghill and Rivonia use <a href="/booster-pumps/">booster sets</a> with variable speed drives to keep pressure steady on every floor, and many have backup tanks for when the municipal supply is cut. Body corporates should ask how the set is controlled and what happens during load-shedding.
