This hub page helps you understand how a municipal backup setup works, how to size it, what components matter most, and when renting the full solution is smarter than buying (especially when installation, maintenance, and filter replacements are included). Many homes start with a water backup system filled with fresh municipal water and then add filtration where needed.

A pump-and-tank setup typically pulls stored water from the tank and delivers it back into the home or office line when municipal pressure drops. The aim is simple: stable supply during outages, without messy manual switching every time there’s a disruption.

A few practical notes before you buy parts:

• assumed inch galvanised pipes can work, but matching pump flow, line sizing, and fittings is what prevents noise, leaks, and weak pressure.

• minimum from pump to should not be guessed—your installer should confirm sizing based on your pump and runs.

• diameter minimum from pump is influenced by distance, elbows, and expected demand.

One practical rule: the suction run between tank and your pump must be stable, and the delivery line should carry water from pump to house without restrictive fittings. Keep the pipe run from tank to your pump as short and straight as possible to protect pump performance and reduce cavitation risk.

Most homeowners want two outcomes: stored water during outages and simple day-to-day operation. A rental-based approach usually wins here because you’re not only paying for plastic and fittings—you’re paying for a working system that’s installed correctly and kept reliable.

If you’re comparing ownership vs rental, the key difference is who carries the long-term risk:

• With ownership, you own the maintenance problems too.

• With rental, the installation, ongoing maintenance, and replacements are handled as part of the service—so performance stays consistent.

In practice, the benefits are clearest when you make use of a plan that includes installation, maintenance, and filter replacement (so the system stays dependable through repeat outages).

When the tank is fed from municipal supply, it’s not just about storage volume. You also want good hygiene, rotation, and safe handling.

Two practical hygiene rules that people skip:

• keep the tank clean (inside + lid + inlet screen)

• inspect the inside of the tank on a regular schedule (especially after dusty storms or construction nearby)

It is advised to keep your tank clean; is recommended that the lid stays sealed, and it is recommended that you flush the line, after which you can refill your tank and rotate stored water.

If you’re also treating stored water for drinking (especially if you’re blending sources), use these guides:

• Effective methods for purifying borehole water safely and efficiently: https://www.getsolvd.com/blogs/post/effective-methods-for-purifying-borehole-water-safely-and-efficiently

• Best water purification home system for clean and safe drinking water: https://www.getsolvd.com/blogs/post/best-water-purification-home-system-for-clean-and-safe-drinking-water

A good kit simplifies installation and keeps the “switching logic” tidy. The goal is that all connections are visible for inspection and service, and that the system can be isolated without shutting down the entire property.

Choose an all inclusive kit that includes isolation valves, fittings, and clear install guidance, because this reduces surprises on install day and keeps future servicing straightforward. A float-controlled inlet allows for effortless filling and reliable shut-off when the tank reaches the correct level. Include ball valve s for isolation, and pump cover for weather protection (especially if your pump sits outdoors or in a damp area).

In most homes, the installer will decide the best house to tie into and how to tie into mains to ensure that the system switches cleanly during outages.

A typical supply tank with municipal filling uses a line with municipal feed to a float assembly, setting to float valve at the correct height so it closes reliably. Your municipal feed to float valve at the top of the tank should be protected with a strainer to reduce clogging and prevent sticking.

Your plumbing diagram may label this as m_plumbling_municipal feed to tank (sometimes stored as agrement sa high res).

Sizing isn’t “one number for everyone”. Your household size, usage habits, and outage patterns change the requirement.

A simple planning rule:

• recommended base sizes are a function of people × daily use × likely outage duration.

• will vary based on kitchen/bathroom load, garden use, and whether you flush toilets from backup.

• vary based on the number of bathrooms and how many people are home during the day.

When you choose a tank, plan for essential use first, or for a more conservative buffer, size for 2–3 days of typical outages. During planning, write down all the water used on a normal day and then decide which uses are “essential-only” during outages (this makes sizing and running costs far more realistic). The final tank size will also change based on the setup (for example, whether you’re supplying only toilets and outdoor taps or the whole house).

If you want a tank-size decision guide:

• Essential guide to choosing the best backup water tank for your home: https://www.getsolvd.com/blogs/post/essential-guide-to-choosing-the-best-backup-water-tank-for-your-home

• Top water tanks for home: https://www.getsolvd.com/blogs/post/top-water-tanks-for-home-your-guide-to-smart-water-storage-solutions

Done properly, a municipal backup system benefits you in three ways:

1. Convenience: no buckets, no last-minute panic.

2. Consistency: usable pressure when the municipality drops.

3. Hygiene: cleaner storage and easier rotation.

A safe design protects the main water supply line and avoids pushing pump pressure back into the municipal network. This is where installers focus on valve layout to ensure no backflow risk and stable operation for the home.

To prevent problems, the layout must be designed to ensure no back pressure to the main line; the objective is to avoid back pressure to the municipal side and avoid pressure to the main supply during pump operation. In practical terms, you want a tank with municipal feed for top-up, but you never want back pressure to the municipality once the pump is running.

If you’re deciding whether to buy or rent, here’s the real-world difference:

Buying:

• Upfront cost is high (tank, pump, fittings, labour).

• Maintenance is your responsibility.

• Filter replacements and pump issues are out-of-pocket.

Renting (what GetSolvd focuses on):

A stable base prevents movement, cracks, and uneven settling. base foundation options typically depend on space, soil, and tank size.

Practical guidance:

• alternatively a concrete slab is common for many homes

• at least 100mm wider than the tank footprint is a typical rule of thumb

• least 100mm wider than can help with stability and edge support

• 100mm wider than the tank base is often used as a simple reference point

Start with people on site and essential usage. A simple baseline is 50–100 litres per person per day for essentials, then adjust for showers, laundry, and office demand. Your required litres depends on outage frequency and the uses you want to keep running. Use this sizing guide: https://www.getsolvd.com/blogs/post/essential-guide-to-choosing-the-best-backup-water-tank-for-your-home

A tank stores water and a pump delivers pressure when municipal pressure drops. With correct valves and layout, the pump draws from the tank and supplies the property without pushing pressure back into the municipal line. The tie-in point and valve layout are the biggest reliability factors.

It varies by household size and how strictly you manage usage during outages. If you limit use to essentials, it can last several days for a small family; with heavier use (baths, laundry, garden), it may last less. Estimate litres per person per day × people on site, then match to outage duration.

In simple terms, you’ll see (1) direct municipal supply, (2) stored supply (tank-fed), and (3) pumped/pressurised supply. Many Gauteng homes use a combined approach: municipal fills storage when available, and a pump supplies the home during outages.

Stored municipal water should be rotated and tanks should be kept clean. Refresh stored water periodically, especially if it sits unused, and keep the tank sealed and screened from debris.

A typical approach uses a controlled municipal fill line into the tank, then a pump line from the tank to your property’s plumbing. The key is correct valving and a safe tie-in to prevent pushing pump pressure back into the municipal line. If you want reliability without guesswork, an installer-led rental solution reduces risk.

It generally refers to a JoJo-style storage tank used as a backup source when municipal water is interrupted. When combined with a pump and correct connectors, it supports household supply during outages and can be paired with filtration if you want drinking-quality water from stored supply.

If you want a system that works reliably during outages—and stays reliable—focus on correct layout, safe valving, and ongoing maintenance. That’s also why rental often beats ownership: you get a complete, maintained solution rather than a once-off install you have to manage alone.

Financial and Emotional Value of Water Security

For families, this system is more than infrastructure—it’s a promise of comfort during uncertainty.

A Quiet Guardian for Every Household

Partner with our team to bring clean water home—and keep it flowing effortlessly into the future.

Choosing a backup water system means choosing water security. From price quotes and tank capacity to installation, every decision contributes to water safety. Work with experienced professionals who understand both emotional needs and technical details. Regular upkeep ensures continued safety, and compliance helps you avoid costly legal missteps.

A backup water system stores water in a tank and supplies it via a pump and pressure regulator. The pump ensures consistent water flow, even during outages, while filtration units maintain cleanliness. Float switches prevent overflow and keep water levels balanced automatically.

A 1000-litre tank can typically support a family of four for 2 to 3 days, depending on water usage. If you're focused on just the essentials like drinking, cooking, and basic hygiene, it stretches further.

Stored water remains fresh for up to two years if treated properly and kept in dark, cool conditions. Regular rotation and filtration help extend its usability.

With Solvd you are covered for all filters as long as there is an agreement in place. We will install configure, and manage the housing for your solution and keep you connected to the municipal line for emergencies. Our backup will flow directly into your home keeping your taps full and geyser heated.

Filtration as a Long-Term Investment

Private water supplies symbolize self-reliance but demand ongoing care through regular maintenance and targeted treatment plans. Rainwater, while soft and low in minerals, can introduce debris and microbes, making filtration essential.

Proper filtration balances pH, removes contaminants, and secures infrastructure. Regular checks such as: filter changes, system flushes, and water diagnosis, is essential to keep water clean and pipes guarded.

Comprehensive systems may include ultraviolet (UV) treatment to sterilize microbial threats in your borehole water without chemicals. These technologies can be integrated into a single system, adapting to seasonal changes or shifts in water composition.

Selecting the right system means understanding your water’s makeup through lab examinations or expert consultation to choose methods that meet your quality goals and support long-term wellbeing.

Regular filter upkeep is vital to maintain efficiency and prevent wear. Properly maintained, these systems serve as long-term defenders against contamination, delivering safe, drinkable water consistently.

Choosing the right mix starts with taking a sample of your current private water supply, enabling configuration of a purification strategy aligned with your quality goals. Expert guidance helps design your filtration architecture from start to finish.

Consistent upkeep ensures optimal performance. Partnering with professionals provides warranties, performance checks, and scalable upgrades, offering peace of mind as your system grows with your needs.

Understanding water quality and treatment options lets you build a strategy for consistent performance and dependable results. Regular servicing keeps your system responsive and your borehole water safe.

A reliable borehole filter setup is more than a technical asset, it’s a promise of wellbeing, comfort, and care for home or workplace.

• Sediment filtration for particles and debris

• Activated carbon filters for taste and odour

• Reverse osmosis or ion exchange for dissolved metals and minerals

• Optional UV sterilization to kill bacteria and pathogens

Tailored solutions based on your water profile deliver the best results.

Which water filter is suitable for borehole water?

Suitability depends on borehole water content. For high sediment levels, sediment filters combined with reverse osmosis work well. For microbial contamination, UV sterilizers or chlorination may be needed. Activated carbon improves taste and removes organics. Comprehensive systems often layer these technologies.

Safe drinking water typically involves:

• Pre-filtration (sediment, sand, carbon)

• Advanced filtration (reverse osmosis or ion exchange)

• Disinfection (UV sterilization or chlorination)

This multi-step approach removes particles, chemicals, microbes, and dissolved contaminants. Our experts provide Professional scoping, installation, servicing, and support ensure ongoing safety.

Do you need other products to filter borehole water?

Yes. Borehole water often contains minerals, bacteria, and contaminants making filtration a requirement to secure plumbing, appliances, and health. Even clear water can pose risks or cause long-term illness without proper filtration.

Importance of your Water Source and Pretreatment

This filtration process separates filtered water from concentrated contaminants, which remain on the pressurised side. The result is RO membrane filtered water, free from most impurities and minerals.

RO systems produce two water streams: filtered water and a waste stream sent to the drain. The drain carries away bacteria, concentrated contaminants, and directly connected drain systems are important for system efficiency and to prevent backflow.

Ever wondered what actually happens inside a reverse osmosis system? It’s not magic—it’s science, and it’s surprisingly simple.

At the heart of every reverse osmosis water system is a semi-permeable membrane. Think of it as a microscopic gatekeeper: water molecules can slip through, but dissolved contaminants, bacteria, and dissolved salts get left behind. Here’s how it works:

• Pressure is key. The system uses water pressure to push tap water through the ro membrane. Only the cleanest water molecules make it to the other side, leaving behind a concentrated mix of impurities, other contaminants as well as the good stuff like minerals.

• Two streams, one goal. The process splits your water into two: purified water (ready for drinking) and a separate stream carrying away the dissolved contaminants and minerals.

• Layers of protection. Most reverse osmosis water filters use multiple stages—like sediment filters and carbon filters, before and after the membrane to catch even more impurities and improve water quality.

But it’s not a “set it and forget it” process. For optimal performance, your reverse osmosis system needs regular maintenance. That means replacing filters, checking for membrane fouling, and making sure water pressure stays in the right range. If the pressure drops too low, or the ro membrane gets clogged, the system can’t do its job—and your water quality suffers.

Bottom line? Reverse osmosis is a powerful filtration process for turning tap water into purified water. But like any system, it needs the right care, and a little know-how—to keep delivering the cleanest water possible.

RO water filtration is brilliantly clean, but it’s also empty. It removes not just contaminants, but essential minerals your body needs every single day: magnesium, calcium, potassium, trace elements. Re-mineralizing your water with beneficial minerals helps restore these nutrients, supporting better health by ensuring your body receives what it needs.

This kind of ultra-purified water may quench your thirst, but it doesn’t support your health. In fact, over time, it can do the opposite.

According to the World Health Organization, low-mineral water can:

• Alter your electrolyte balance

• Disrupt kidney function

• Contribute to long-term bone loss

• Cause cramping and muscle fatigue

That’s not marketing hype, it’s biology. Your body relies on minerals to function. When your water doesn’t carry them, you either have to get more from your food, or you start running a deficit.

The food we eat today isn’t as nutritious as it used to be. Decades of over-farming have stripped our soils, and the crops grown in them, of up to 50% of their natural mineral content.

That means water, once a background player in your nutrition, has suddenly become a key source of daily minerals. And if your water is empty too? You’re running on fumes.

Common symptoms of chronic mineral deficiency:

• Fatigue

• Muscle cramps

• Poor sleep

• Anxiety

• Heart palpitations

Not always age. Not always stress. Sometimes? Just filtration that makes water that’s “too clean.”

Not at all. It’s great at what it does: remove what shouldn’t be there. But it doesn’t put anything back.

That’s where remineralisation comes in.
If you’re using RO at home, or buying bottled water marked “purified”, you need to put the good stuff back in.

• Add liquid mineral drops, especially magnesium and calcium

• Install a remineralisation cartridge in your system

• Occasionally drink verified mineral-rich spring water

Aim for a Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) reading between 130–500 mg/L quality, that’s the sweet spot for human health.

This simple step supports:

• Bone density

• Cardiovascular function

• Cognitive clarity

• Hydration that actually sticks

According to global studies, drinking demineralized water daily for decades can reduce life expectancy by up to 3 years, depending on your diet and health profile.

On the flip side, re-mineralized water may add years to your healthspan and reduce your risk of silent, creeping deficiencies that often go misdiagnosed.

We’ve been so focused on detoxing, disinfecting, and purifying, that we’ve lost sight of something simple:
Clean isn’t the finish line. It’s the starting point.

If your water doesn’t support you, it’s silently depleting you.

Bacteria and viruses are among the most concerning contaminants, as they can lead to waterborne illnesses and affect the well-being of anyone consuming the water. Chlorine, commonly used in municipal water treatment, can leave an unpleasant taste and may irritate sensitive skin and hair. Sand and other sediments can cause damage to plumbing and appliances, while corrosion and rust from pipes can further degrade water quality and introduce additional contaminants.

To combat these issues, advanced water filtration systems, such as those using pleated, activated carbon or micron mesh high-quality filter cartridges or UV sterilisers, are specifically designed to remove viruses, bacteria, chlorine, and other harmful substances from your water supply. These systems not only provide great tasting water but also ensure that your drinking water is safe for daily consumption, whether at home or in the office.

Tailored Water Filter Solutions for Homes and Small Businesses using Filter Cartridges

Our easy-to-install products remove impurities, improve water quality, and ensure great-tasting water for drinking, cooking, and other essential uses. Choosing a reputable brand is important for reliability and performance, and we provide a variety of products suitable for both home and business applications.

Sediment filters are the first line of defense in many water filtration systems. They effectively remove larger particles such as sand, dirt, rust, and other sediments that can affect the clarity and taste of your water. By trapping these physical impurities, sediment filters help protect plumbing and appliances from damage caused by sediment buildup, extending their lifespan and maintaining system efficiency.

Ultraviolet (UV) sterilisation is a powerful technology that targets harmful microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, and parasites. By exposing water to UV light, this method disrupts the DNA of these pathogens, rendering them inactive and unable to reproduce. UV sterilisation is a chemical-free process that ensures safe drinking water without altering its taste or odor, making it an excellent choice for comprehensive water purification.

By combining these filtration methods, our water filtration systems provide thorough treatment that removes a wide range of contaminants, ensuring that the water you use daily is clean, safe, and great tasting. Whether you need a compact under-the-counter filter or a whole-house system, our products are designed for easy installation and reliable performance, giving you peace of mind about your water quality.

For only R299 per month, you cover the bases of filtration giving you peace of mind knowing your water quality is better with professional maintenance and timely filter cartridge replacements—it's important to replace filters at the right time to ensure continuous clean water. Please note that some popular water backup products or services may be sold out due to high demand.

Water filtration specifically focuses on removing suspended particles, sediments, and some contaminants from water by passing it through filter media such as carbon, sand, or specialised filter cartridges. Filtration is often a key step within the overall water treatment process, improving water clarity and taste by trapping impurities like sand, rust, chlorine, and certain bacteria.

Water purification goes a step further by eliminating or deactivating a wider range of contaminants, including viruses, bacteria, and chemical pollutants, often through advanced technologies such as reverse osmosis, UV sterilisation, or chemical disinfection. Purification ensures water is safe for consumption by removing harmful microorganisms and toxins that filtration alone may not fully address. Understanding these distinctions helps in choosing the right water filtration systems and treatment solutions tailored to your specific water quality needs.
