Boreholes and solar pumps for Roodepoort and the West Rand
Roodepoort runs from established suburbs like Florida to the plots of Ruimsig and Honeydew. The bigger the stand, the more a borehole makes sense.

01Local knowledge
Plots, estates and the western edge
Ruimsig, Honeydew and the areas toward Muldersdrift have plenty of smallholdings and large estates, where lawns, horses and vegetable gardens use far more water than a typical suburban house.
On a West Rand plot, the sun is the cheapest pump operator you will ever hire.
On those properties we usually pair a borehole with a solar pump. It keeps working through power cuts, costs nothing to run once installed, and fills a tank during the day for use at night.
Closer in, suburbs like Florida, Weltevredenpark and Constantia Kloof are more about household backup and plumbing: tanks with pressure pumps, geysers, and pipes that have been in the ground for decades.

04Questions
What people in Roodepoort ask us
Is a solar borehole pump worth it on a plot?
On most smallholdings, yes. There are no running costs, it works through power cuts, and with a tank it gives you water around the clock.
Can you set up irrigation for a vegetable garden or small farm?
Yes. We design drip and sprinkler systems fed from a borehole or tank, from home gardens to small commercial plots.
How long does a borehole and solar pump install take?
Drilling is usually a day or two. Once the yield is tested, the pump, panels and tank can often follow within a few days.
Do you cover Featherbrooke and Little Falls?
Yes, along with every Roodepoort suburb listed on this page.
