    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is a borehole?2022-10-20T19:45:56+00:00

    A borehole is a deep hole drilled into the earth, using specialised tools or machinery. In this case, it is to extract water.

    Which areas do you operate in?2022-10-20T18:34:32+00:00

    Gauteng, North West, KwaZulu-Natal and Eastern Cape.

    Are you a member of the Borehole Water Association South Africa (BWA)?2022-10-20T18:36:21+00:00

    Yes, we are a member of the BWA.

    How much does a borehole cost in South Africa? Also, how much does it cost per meter?2022-10-20T18:48:45+00:00

    We provide an estimated quotation telephonically, which is then sent to the client via email.

    What is the process involved?2022-10-20T18:52:08+00:00
    1. We provide an estimated quotation telephonically, which is then sent to the client via email.
    2. The first step is to identify underground water. We will recommend a Water Detection Specialist and will provide contact details to our client.
    3. The second step is the drilling itself.
    4. The third step is the pump installation
    Is the water clean and suitable for human consumption?2022-10-20T18:53:54+00:00

    Unfortunately, this cannot be guaranteed. However, during the pump installation, a water sample can be obtained and taken to a laboratory for analyses. A report will be issued +- 7 days thereafter, indicating whether the borehole water tested, is suitable for human consumption. The report will indicate the minerals present in the water. The possibility of filtration systems can then be considered in order to purify the water.

    Is a filtration system necessary?2022-10-20T18:57:18+00:00

    During the pump installation, a water sample can be obtained and taken to a laboratory for analyses.

The possibility of filtration systems can then be considered in order to purify the water.

    Is the water suitable for household use and will it allow us to go off grid (not using the municipal system)?2022-10-20T18:58:10+00:00

    This can be done. The municipal system can be closed with a valve and the house can function “off grid” using the borehole water. A pressure system is installed to maintain the correct pressure in the plumbing of the house. The water pressure is the same as the municipal water pressure.

    What is the lifespan of a borehole?2022-10-20T19:00:28+00:00

    If the water delivery is good and the quality of the work (drilling and casing installation) is done correctly, the borehole should be suitable for lifelong usage.

    Is it a guarantee that there will be water?2022-10-20T19:01:10+00:00

    There is never a guarantee. It remains a risk to the client. However, the Water Detection Specialist that we recommend has an 80% – 90% success rate.
