Basic Borehole system

A basic Borehole water backup system consists of a buffer tank that is either filled directly from the borehole pump or from an elevated primary borehole tank that can supply Water to the house or office at a maintained pressure.

Water is received from the borehole and first screened through a strainer to remove large sand or stone particles after which it is collected in a buffer tank. This supply is controlled by an automated shut-off valve when the tank is full. An automatic pressure switch turns the pump on and off when taps are opened or closed, maintaining constant pressure in the pipework.

A series of manually operated valves are used to bypass the system in case of maintenance or failure.

In Addition to the basic Borehole system there are several optional extras available to enhance the experience and quality of water delivery to the house or office.

1. A pressure or "bladder" tank helps to maintain consistent water pressure in pumped water supply systems where open and close cycles are frequent. It prevents the pump from starting up to deliver a very small amount of water and prevents pressure spikes that can damage plumbing fixtures and appliances.
2. A cartridge filtration cluster can consist of 1 or more filtration cartridges using different media to achieve different filtration or treatment objectives that could include:
   
   • Basic sediment filtration - Removal of small solid particles
   • Activated Carbon Filtration - Removal of colour, odor and tastes
   • Demineralisation - Removal of certain minerals
   • Scale prevention - Protection of pipework against scaling
   • pH Correction
   • Tanin removal - Colour removal
   • Remineralisation - Replacement of required minerals
3. An UltraViolet lamp kills most bacteria
4. A Variable speed drive Pump can automatically manage the rotational speed of the pump depending on the volume demand. This ensures a perfect continuity of water delivery with superior power saving efficiency
