Installing a borehole is a smart move—but it’s not just about drilling and hoping for water. A properly functioning system is made up of several key components that all work together to deliver water efficiently and safely.
Here’s a breakdown of what a complete borehole system typically includes:
1. Borehole Drilling & Casing
This is where it all starts. The borehole is drilled into the ground to reach underground water sources. Casing is then installed to keep the hole stable and prevent contamination. At LiquaFlo, drilling is handled by trusted subcontractors who comply with SABS standards, ensuring quality and safety.
2. Submersible Pump (The Heart of the System)
The pump is what draws water from underground to the surface. Submersible pumps are installed inside the borehole and are chosen based on depth, water yield, and usage requirements.
• Designed for efficiency and durability
• Suitable for residential, commercial, and agricultural use
• Available in various sizes and capacities
3. Pump Controllers (Automatic or Manual)
Controllers manage how and when your pump operates. They protect the system and improve efficiency.
• Automatic controllers for convenience
• Manual controllers for direct control
• Protection against dry running and power issues
4. Pressure Pump & Pressure Control System
To ensure consistent water pressure throughout your property, a pressure pump and regulator are installed.
• Maintains steady water flow
• Prevents pressure drops
• Ideal for homes and irrigation systems
5. Piping, Valves & Fittings
Water needs a reliable path from the borehole to your home or system.
• High-quality piping for durability
• Valves to control flow
• Polyurethane compression fittings for secure connections
6. Water Storage Tanks & Stands
Stored water ensures you always have supply, even during peak usage or power outages.
• Tanks sized according to your needs
• Elevated stands for gravity-fed systems
• Helps reduce pump workload
7. Filtration & Purification Systems
Borehole water often requires treatment before it’s safe to use.
• Sediment filters to remove particles
• Advanced purification systems tailored to your water quality
• Essential for drinking, cooking, and sensitive applications
8. Electrical Components & Cabling
Reliable power is essential for system performance.
• Underwater cabling for submersible pumps
• Control panels and connections
• Optional solar-powered setups for off-grid solutions
