If you rely on a borehole for your home, business, or farm, keeping it in good condition is essential for clean, reliable water. While a borehole may seem like a “set it and forget it” system, it actually needs regular care to stay healthy and efficient. At LiquaFlo Borehole Solutions, we specialise in helping property owners across Johannesburg South keep their water systems running smoothly — from professional flushing to expert repairs and ongoing maintenance.
So, What Exactly Does a Borehole Do?
A borehole taps into underground water sources and brings natural groundwater to the surface using a pump. This water can then be stored, filtered, and used throughout your property. It’s one of the most reliable ways to secure your own private water supply, especially with rising municipal costs and frequent water outages.
What Can Borehole Water Be Used For?
A properly maintained borehole can supply water for almost anything, including:
- Household use (showers, toilets, laundry, dishes)
- Garden and landscape irrigation
- Agricultural operations
- Commercial applications
- Off-grid water systems
- Drinking water (when paired with the right purification system)
LiquaFlo’s tailor-made purification solutions ensure safe, clear, high-quality water for any application.
Why Borehole Maintenance Matters

Even though boreholes are durable structures, they aren’t maintenance-free. Over time, mineral build-up, sand intrusion, pump issues, or changes in water quality can impact the flow and clarity of your water. Regular check-ups and routine flushing help prevent bigger — and often more expensive — repair jobs down the line.
Flushing Your Borehole: How It Works
Flushing is one of the most important steps in keeping your borehole healthy. This process removes debris, sand, and sediment that may accumulate inside the casing or surrounding aquifer. When LiquaFlo performs a flushing service, we ensure water flow is restored to optimal levels and that your pump is protected from unnecessary wear and tear.
It’s recommended to flush your borehole every 12–24 months, depending on water usage and geological conditions.
Spotting the Signs You Need Repairs
Sometimes your borehole will “tell you” that something isn’t right. You may need a repair service if you notice:
- Reduced water pressure or slow flow
- Muddy, sandy, or discoloured water
- Strange noises coming from the pump
- Pump switching on and off too frequently
- Higher electricity usage
- Water with an unusual smell or taste
LiquaFlo provides expert borehole assessments to diagnose any of these issues and recommend the best repair or upgrade.
