Turning Dry Land into Independence: A Johannesburg South Family’s Journey to Water Freedom

Turning Dry Land into Independence: A Johannesburg South Family’s Journey to Water Freedom

A household in search of water independence

In the quiet suburb of Johannesburg South, the Naidoo family had grown increasingly frustrated with municipal water outages and rising utility bills. With two kids, a lush garden, and an at-home vegetable patch, the inconsistent water supply wasn’t just inconvenient—it was affecting their lifestyle.

After months of exploring options, they approached LiquaFlo Borehole Solutions. “We knew borehole water could be a game-changer for us,” Mrs. Naidoo shared. “But we had no idea what to expect when it came to costs or how the process even worked.”

Enter LiquaFlo: A tailored solution for every need

LiquaFlo, based in Southern Johannesburg, specializes in customized water systems across residential, commercial, and agricultural sectors. From geo-surveys to drilling, pump installations, purification systems, and repairs, the company brings full-circle water solutions to clients seeking independence from traditional utilities.

After an on-site consultation and borehole assessment, the team proposed a 60-meter deep complete borehole system that would suit the Naidoos' needs—allowing them to go completely off-grid.

 

Here's a breakdown of what the Naidoos paid:

Water freedom for under R90K

All in, the Naidoos invested just over R80,000 for their borehole system. The process—from initial survey to final handover—took less than 10 days, and the impact was immediate.

“The pressure pump is strong enough for our showers, garden, and even our small drip irrigation system,” Mr. Naidoo shared. “What really surprised us was how crystal-clear the water is after purification.”

Off-grid peace of mind

Since installation, the family hasn’t had to worry about water restrictions, municipal bills, or load-shedding-related outages. LiquaFlo’s system included a tailor-made purification setup, ensuring safe, filtered water straight from their tap.

“Not only did LiquaFlo explain every detail,” Mrs. Naidoo adds, “but they also gave us options based on our budget and future water needs.”
