Unlocking Water Independence in Krugersdorp
When the Botha family in Krugersdorp decided to invest in a borehole, they were seeking more than just lower utility bills—they wanted freedom. With rising water costs and unpredictable supply, they reached out to LiquaFlo Borehole Solutions for a custom water solution that could support their home and garden year-round.
"We were tired of watching our garden wilt and still getting a massive municipal bill," says Mr. Botha. "LiquaFlo didn’t just quote us—they explained the entire process, costs, and how we could scale over time."

A Tailor-Made System Backed by Expertise
What set LiquaFlo apart for the Bothas was the customised planning and transparent pricing. Every part of the installation was explained, and all materials used—like pumps and pressure regulators—were SABS-approved and backed by warranties.
“Our goal is always to provide a water solution that fits the client’s life, not just their land,” explains LiquaFlo’s founder. “In Krugersdorp, rocky terrain and deep water tables meant we needed a reinforced steel casing and a robust pump set. The result? Reliable water year-round.”
Off-Grid Benefits That Keep Giving
Since completing the project, the Bothas have noticed more than just financial savings. Their borehole system, paired with a purification solution, delivers crystal-clear water for home use, gardening, and even backup supply for unexpected outages.
"Our friends are shocked at how much control we now have over our water use," says Mrs. Botha. "It’s an investment that keeps giving back."
