Have you ever wondered about drilling a water borehole in South Africa? Not sure if it’s the right step for you? We break down some great things to consider when choosing to drill a borehole, and the benefits that they offer.
1. It’s A Long-term Investment
Although it may seem like a big cost from the onset, a borehole can last up to 50 years. Plus, you can expect that the first 10-15 years will require minimal maintenance. But, this is all dependent on doing it right from the start. Make sure that you have the right team doing it and that you have the right equipment.
2. Water Boreholes Increases Property Value
Because they offer long-term use, water boreholes can definitely increase the value of your home. Reducing the costs of municipal resources is a great bonus for people on the market. Plus, it means that you won’t have the same amount of down-time when resources are not available or restricted. This is certainly appealing.
3. Borehole Water Has Health Benefits
Did you know that borehole water is rich in naturally occurring minerals and hasn’t been treated or altered with any man-made chemical additives.
When you’re drinking municipal water, it has been treated and chlorinated in an effort to render the water “safe for human consumption”. Unfortunately this process removes a lot of naturally occurring nutrients and minerals found in natural groundwater sources.
An added bonus is that it is also typically kinder and gentler to skin if you’re showering and/or bathing in it.
4. Enjoy An Uninterrupted Supply Of Water
When water becomes unavailable from the municipality or droughts occur, you can enjoy an uninterrupted supply of water. Your borehole essentially turns into your main source of water during these moments. You never have to experience down time from your water supply.
