Taking the big step and deciding to drill a borehole can feel like a daunting task, but it’s actually pretty simple. Once you have the right team and the best equipment, drilling a borehole is a breeze, and will be an investment for years to come.
We highlight the important things to focus on when making your decision to drill a borehole. In just 4 simple steps, you can have access to an untapped resource. It’s an investment that your wallet will thank you for.
STEP 1 – DECIDING WHERE TO DRILL
There are many factors to consider when deciding where you going to drill a borehole. Besides the obvious being where there is water, the type of soil above also plays a big factor. The last thing you want is for the sand to collapse into your borehole water, making the mission a fail. Getting a Hydro-Geologist involved means getting expert advice on the best location.
STEP 2 – DRILLING THE HOLE
Here comes the fun part, the actual drilling. Making sure you have the right equipment is key. You want quality and power when it comes to the machines that you are using. So, whether you are hiring a team to do the job for you, or you plan to do it yourself, make sure that you have the best tools. This will ensure that you drill a borehole that is drilled to last.
STEP 3 – DETERMINING THE YIELD OF THE BOREHOLE
The next step is determining how much water can be pumped out of the borehole at any given time. This can only be done once the borehole has been drilled. With the best location and the right equipment used to drill the depth you need; you can pump as much as thousands of litres per day. Plus, you could pump out enough to no longer need the supply of municipal water, essentially saving you thousands of Rands per month.
STEP 4 – PUMPING THE BOREHOLE
The final stage is setting up the water pump and piping to create a sustainable and easy flow from your borehole to your tap. Some borehole machines come with water pumps already, while others may need this to be paid for at an additional cost. Either way, this will not only help with the supply of the water, but also the quality of water that you have access to.
