Borehole Pump Buying Guide – Read Before You Choose

Choosing the Right Borehole Pump

The correct borehole pump ensures consistent pressure, energy efficiency and long system life. Selecting the wrong size can lead to poor performance or premature failure.

What You Need to Know:

  • Borehole depth – Static water level + installation depth
  • Required pressure – Household or irrigation demand
  • Flow rate – How many outlets will run simultaneously
  • Power supply – Single-phase or three-phase

Complete Borehole System Components

A proper installation typically includes:

  • Submersible pump (wet end)
  • Borehole motor
  • Control box or starter
  • Electrical cable & splice kit
  • Non-return valve
  • Dry-run protection

Borehole Depth vs. Pump Power - A Starting Guide

Depth alone doesn't determine the right pump - flow rate matters too. Use this as a starting point, then confirm with the sizing tool above.

What a Complete Borehole Pump System Includes

  1. Pump + motor - submerged below water level
  2. Rising main pipe - carries water to the surface
  3. Submersible cable - powers the motor
  4. Support rope - secures the pump in the borehole
  5. Control box - at surface, protects the motor
  6. Pressure tank / storage tank - at surface, supplies the house

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know what size pump I need for my borehole?

Depth to water and required flow rate (litres/hour) both matter. Use the sizing tool above or WhatsApp us your borehole test results and we'll recommend the right pump.

What's the difference between single-phase and three-phase pumps?

Single-phase (220V) runs off standard household power. Three-phase (380V) is needed for higher-power pumps (typically 3kW and up) and requires a three-phase supply on site.

Do you deliver across South Africa?

Yes - we offer nationwide courier delivery on pumps, motors, control boxes and accessories.

What's included in a Complete Kit vs buying components separately?

Complete kits include a matched pump, motor, cable and control box ready to install. Buying components separately lets you replace a single failed part - for example just the wet end or just the control box - without replacing the whole system.

Can these pumps run on solar or during load shedding?

Yes - see our Solar & Off-Grid Borehole Pumps range, which includes solar-compatible motors and controllers.
