Choose a pump and storage system from real measurements.
A pump choice depends on source depth, measured yield, required flow, pressure, lift, pipework, storage, filtration, electricity, controls, and the intended use. A larger motor is not automatically a better system.
Source data
Record borehole depth, static and pumping levels, measured yield, water quality, and the test method supplied by the provider.
Demand
Separate domestic, garden, irrigation, livestock, and business demand. Note peak use, simultaneous outlets, and required storage.
System scope
Ask about pump, controller, cable, pipework, filtration, tank, protection, commissioning, maintenance, and backup power.
Water-use reference
South African water-use authorisation can depend on the source, quantity, purpose and applicable conditions. Confirm the current requirement with the Department of Water and Sanitation or the relevant authority.
