How Borehole Water Systems Work (and Why You Might Need One)
Published by Panthera Technologies
In a time where water security is becoming more uncertain across South Africa, borehole water systems offer a reliable, sustainable solution for both residential and commercial properties. At Panthera Technologies, we specialize in full-service borehole installations, pump setups, water treatment, and system balancing. Here's what you need to know.
What Is a Borehole System?
A borehole is a deep, narrow well drilled into the ground to access underground water. A professionally installed borehole system includes:
- The borehole (drilled shaft)
- Borehole pump
- Pressure vessel & control box
- Filtration system (if required)
- Pipework & electrical connections
Once installed, this system allows you to tap into a private, sustainable water supply that reduces your reliance on municipal water.
How the Process Works
- Site inspection and water table analysis
- We assess your property to find the ideal drilling point.
- Drilling the borehole
- We use modern drilling rigs to reach depths where clean water can be accessed.
- Pump and pipe installation
- We fit a submersible pump, connect it to a pressure vessel, and handle all necessary plumbing.
- Electrical integration and system programming
- Includes power supply for FRP heads, pump control, and auto shut-off logic.
- Filtration and treatment setup (optional)
- If the water has high iron, bacteria, or sediment, we add filters or UV treatment.
- System balancing
- We test and fine-tune pressure, flow, and recovery times to ensure smooth operation.
Why Install a Borehole?
- Independence from municipal water
- Huge savings over time
- Perfect for irrigation, farming, and household use
- Eco-friendly and self-sustaining
