Backup Water Systems
Tanks That Are Plumbed In, Not Just Parked Outside
Planned Rand Water maintenance, burst mains and local supply failures leave households and businesses across the province without water for hours or days. A tank that is properly connected to the property's plumbing takes over without anyone having to carry buckets.
We size the tank, prepare a level base or stand, connect it to the mains with a float and non-return valve, and fit a booster pump and pressure system so the house runs at normal pressure. Gutter connections for rainwater harvesting can be added. Owners of several properties can roll out the same set-up at each site.
Typical Jobs
Backup Water Work We Do
Automatic Backup
Tanks tied into the mains so they refill on their own and take over when supply stops.
Pumps & Pressure
Booster pumps and pressure vessels so showers, taps and the geyser run normally.
Rainwater Collection
Gutters and downpipes routed into tanks through leaf filters for garden and toilet use.
Stands & Bases
Level, compacted bases and steel stands rated for a full tank's weight.
Filtration
Sediment and carbon filters for cleaner stored water.
Upkeep & Repairs
Pump repairs, float valve replacement, leak repairs and tank cleaning.
Root Causes
What the Highveld Does to This Part of Your Plumbing
Across the province, from the Pretoria ridges to the Vaal river towns, these conditions sit behind a large share of the jobs in this category:
Supply Cuts, Then the Pressure Kick
Joburg Water, Tshwane, Ekurhuleni or Emfuleni: whoever runs the taps in Gauteng, planned and unplanned cuts happen. The trouble often starts when supply is restored, because trapped air and a sudden rush of pressure find the weakest joint or valve in the house. Our crews fix the damage, fit pressure regulators and set up JoJo storage with a pump so the next cut barely registers.
Pipework That Has Outlived Its Era
A good share of the older houses in and around Gauteng were built with galvanised steel or asbestos-cement supply lines. Rust eats them from the inside out: first the water turns brown, then the pressure drops, then one day a section simply gives way. We re-pipe the affected runs in PEX, HDPE or copper.
Afternoon Downpours, Overloaded Drains
A Highveld storm can unload a startling amount of rain in under an hour. Gutters spill, gullies fill with silt and leaves, and stormwater forces its way into sewer lines until a manhole lifts in the yard. We open them up with drain machines and high-pressure jetting, then check the line runs clean.
Electrical Spikes and Cold Showers
Every time the grid drops and comes back, the geyser element and thermostat take the hit. If your area has had power back for hours and the water is still cold, the likely culprit is a blown element or a burnt thermostat. We carry both and normally swap them in one trip.

Straight Answers
JoJo Tank Installations Gauteng: What People Ask
Open any question below. If yours is missing, the phone line can answer it.
It depends on how many people use the water and how long cuts usually last. Many family homes settle on 2,000 to 5,000 litres. We help you size it properly.
Yes. With a booster pump and pressure system it supplies taps, toilets, showers and the geyser during a cut.
A standard pump needs power. We can advise on a small inverter or battery, or a gravity-fed tower, if power cuts are also a problem.
