"I just need this to never happen again."

A client in Fairland called us on a Sunday morning after yet another city water outage. She had a house full of guests and no water to flush, wash, or cook. Her voice was calm, but she was stressed.

We installed a full water backup system that same week. The next time Randburg Water went down, she messaged: "My tanks kicked in. We didn't even notice."

Water backup systems aren't a luxury anymore. They're survival. Especially in Johannesburg, where outages, leaks, and pipe bursts are becoming more common.

From burst mains in Northcliff to pump failures in Linden, we get calls every week. Sometimes Joburg Water notifies people. Sometimes they don't. Either way, if your home or business depends on water, you need a plan B.

Water Backup Systems That Work

A good backup system is quiet, simple, and just does its job. We build water backup systems that store water, keep it pressurised, and automatically switch over when the mains go dry.

Not all tanks are the same. We help you choose one that fits your space and doesn't ruin the look of your property.

The Water Situation in Johannesburg

Joburg is in a tough spot. Between ageing infrastructure and growing demand, supply isn't always reliable. In Fairland, people have reported dry taps for 2-3 days at a time. In Linden, some homes deal with weekly low-pressure issues.

While the city works on fixing the big stuff, we help you sort your own backup.

Our team is based in Randburg, and we regularly work in Fairland, Northcliff, Parkhurst, and nearby suburbs.

Common Questions About Water Backup Systems

How long does a water backup system installation take?

Installations usually take 2-5 days depending on the installation and process involved. This includes tank installation, pump connection, plumbing integration, and system testing. We clean up properly and test everything before we leave.

What size tank do I need for my household?

We size your system based on your household needs, space, and budget. A typical family needs 2-3 days of emergency supply. We assess your usage and recommend the right capacity.

Can the system switch automatically between mains and backup water?

Yes, we install automatic switch-over systems that detect when mains water fails and switch to backup supply seamlessly. Manual override options are also available.

Will the backup system maintain water pressure throughout my house?

Absolutely. We install pressure pumps that maintain your normal water pressure. Your showers stay strong and toilets flush like normal, whether using mains or backup water.

Can I use rainwater with my backup system?

Yes, tanks can collect rainwater, store municipal supply, or do both. When paired with basic filtration, you can use stored water for all household purposes including drinking and cooking.

A Simple Fix That Saves You Later

One of our clients in Linden used to fill buckets from a neighbour's borehole every time the water went out. She was tired. We installed a tank and pump setup. Now she smiles when the water cuts, because she knows she won't be running up the road again.
