Water tank installation for Sandton properties

On a Sandton stand there is usually room for real storage - enough to carry a garden and keep a reserve for the house.

Sizing storage for a big property

Storage on a Sandton property does two jobs: it buffers a borehole so a steady pump can meet an uneven garden demand, and it keeps a reserve for the house through a municipal interruption. Sizing it means knowing roughly how much the garden uses on a hot day and how long a reserve you want, rather than simply choosing the largest tank that fits.

The space a large stand offers is a genuine advantage here. Tanks on proper stands, sited for access, and plumbing laid out tidily, are easier to do well when there is room.

Plumbing it so it works when it matters

The tank only helps if the plumbing around it is right: level controls that stop the pump when it is full and protect it when the hole is low, a non-return arrangement so tank water does not drain back down the hole, and a changeover to the mains that cannot contaminate the municipal supply. Those details are what turn tanks into a working reserve.

Frequently asked questions

How many tanks do I need in Sandton?

It follows your garden demand and how long a reserve you want. The contractor sizes it from your actual use, not from a rule of thumb.

Can the tanks feed the house during an outage?

Yes, if they are plumbed to do so and the changeover to the mains is safe. Ask for that from the start.
