Borehole Installations Cape Town

Besides installations we also do borehole pump repairs. Knowing boreholes pumps are submersible centrifugal pumps it is worth noting that they are subject to faults. The working principle for a borehole pump is that the unit works when a motor drives a shaft which in turn drives either one or more impellers. Neglecting to monitor the pump’s output over time will mean changes are not detected, which in most cases results in a costly repair to the pump system.

• Motor Failure: this usually happens when the motor overheats, most likely due to cooling system failure.
•  Iron Contamination: When iron oxidation and iron bacteria accumulate, they clog and corrode the pump system which in turn leads to system failure.
• Level of Water: Even though the pump is submersible it has a depth limit and also if water levels are low starting and stopping your pump will most likely damage it.
• Unchecked changes in pumping conditions: Failure to use a pressure gauge will limit the ability to see how a pump is affected when its application is changed. This has an adverse effect on it’s lifespan.

Cleaning and rehabilitating boreholes is also very important , always check for the water quality and ensure your borehole system is operating efficiently.  Our quick and efficient team are always ready to assist at a good price. Avoid trying to service your own borehole. Just get in touch with us and we will be ready to help.
