Benefits Of A Borehole Pump
Benefits Of A Borehole Pump
If you’re reading this article, then it should come as no surprise to learn that South Africa has experienced a few serious water crises over the years. But it’s not only the lack of rain that is to blame – our municipal water infrastructure has left a lot to be sought after. South Africa has finally reached a “tipping point” in terms of incompetent water treatment facilities and dirty drinking water. Although the April 2016 problem is mostly quality rather than quantity, the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) has warned that continued growth in the population combined with climate change could result in serious water scarcities in many parts of the country by 2025.
As South Africans battle to deal with what many are calling the worst water crisis ever logged in South African history, many homes, businesses, schools, hospitals, clinics, and farms have started to install personal boreholes. Consisting of a narrow drilled hole filled with a casing with inlet holes at the level from which the water is to be pulled, a pump is used to supply pull to draw the water from the ground. But since boreholes are fairly narrow, there aren’t many types of pumps that can effortlessly fit inside, which is why the top types of borehole pumps are either line shaft turbine pumps or submersible electric pumps.
Borehole Pumps Can Extract up to 20 000 Litres of Water Per A Day
Amassed from rainfall and underground springs, there are currently billions of cubic meters of additional ground water right under our feet. A resource more appreciated than gold, a borehole pump can extract up to 20 000 litres of that water a day for you, for FREE! When using your own underground water from your own personal supply, apart from the drilling costs, as well as the little bit of electricity used to power your borehole pump, you will notice huge savings each month. Yes, borehole pumps not only use a smaller amount energy to extract water than it does to obtain drinking water from your tap, but they are also a lot healthier.
Easing water shortages and bringing greater quality water to homes and businesses throughout South Africa – borehole pumps are simply the top economic and environmental choice that can offer homes, businesses, schools, hospitals, clinics and farms limitless access to thousands of litres of clean water a day.
