Municipal backup water systems

When Rand Water cuts the supply or the municipality shuts down for maintenance, a properly installed backup system means you don't notice. We install them across Pretoria and the rest of Gauteng.

  • Full pressure, not a trickle — every tap and appliance, inside and out.
  • Fresh water, not stored water — municipal water feeds the house through the tank, so nothing stands still.
  • Filtration matched to your water — sediment and carbon through to reverse osmosis, with full laboratory testing available.
  • It keeps working when the power doesn't — manual changeover, and solar-compatible VSD pumps where you can't risk an interruption.
How backup water systems work

What we do

Not a call centre. The person who quotes your job is the person accountable for it, from the first phone call to the follow-up afterwards.

Backup water systems

Tank, pressure pump, filtration and automatic changeover, plumbed in so the taps keep running when the municipal supply stops.

Burst pipes & leaks

Leak detection, burst pipes, and replacing the old galvanised pipework that so many Moot houses still run on.

Blocked drains

Clearing blockages, and laying new drain runs to proper gradient on a bedding of sand so they stay clear.

Geysers

Repairs, replacements, elements and thermostats, drip trays and overflow pipes done to standard.

Solar water heating

Direct and indirect systems, pumped or thermosiphon, with evacuated tube or flat plate collectors.

The part you never see

Anyone can get water to run. The difference shows up three years later, in whether it's still running.

Laid to a consistent fall, bedded on sand. It's the part nobody inspects, and it's the reason the line is still running clear in five years.
Water supply and waste pipework run neatly into a brick wall, with drainage gullies set at ground level
Pipework run square, clipped and labelled. Neat work costs nothing extra and it's far quicker to diagnose if something ever does need attention.
