Keep the Flow: Don’t Let Water Outages Drain Your Day!

Our backup water solutions ensure your home is prepared, no matter the situation. From R399 a month for back up solution, that is one less thing to stress about. 



FAQ's

How does the backup system work during a water outage, and how much storage do I need?

The installed water tank or tanks are initially filled from the water supply (could be borehole / municipal) and are automatically topped up by a flotation valve that monitors the water levels in your tanks. When there is a water outage, the tank will simply stop being topped up, but you’ll continue to use the stored water from the tank.


A submersible pump draws the water from the tank and supplies your home at a pressure of 4 bars, ensuring a steady flow until either the tank runs out or the water supply is restored.


If you have selected a filter, the water will be filtered after leaving the tanks but before entering your home, ensuring it’s clean and safe to use.

Is the Water Safe to Drink, and What Filtration Does It Include?

Our standard filtration system includes a dual-stage filter to ensure your water is clean and safe:

  1. Stage 1: A 20-micron sediment filter that removes any particles and impurities (like dirt, rust, or sand) from the water.
  2. Stage 2: A carbon filter that eliminates chlorine, which is commonly used by municipalities to disinfect water and kill bacteria and viruses.

If you’d like even greater assurance, you can upgrade your filtration system to include:

  • Stage 3: A 5-micron filter for even finer filtration.
  • UV Sterilizer: A UV sterilizer that acts as a failsafe, performing the same function as chlorine by killing bacteria and viruses through ultraviolet light.

We guarantee that the water quality from our system will be better than standard municipal supply. However, if you’re considering using borehole water, an initial water test is required to assess the quality of the groundwater and determine the necessary filtration to make it safe for drinking.

This approach ensures you have access to water that’s both safe and pure, no matter the source.
