Pumps installation and repair Centurion

This is often referred to as "short cycling." Common causes include a waterlogged pressure tank, a small leak in your plumbing system, or a faulty pressure switch that isn't accurately sensing the pressure. This is worth noting for Centurion homeowners.

A borehole pump is a submersible pump used to draw water up from an underground borehole or well. A booster pump increases the pressure of water supplied from a municipal line or a storage tank in the Centurion area.

This is called 'cycling' and it's often caused by a water leak somewhere in your system or a faulty/waterlogged pressure tank. This constant cycling can wear out your pump prematurely.

My pump is making a loud humming noise but not starting. What's wrong? This often points to a seized motor or a faulty starting capacitor. It's crucial to turn off the power immediately to prevent the motor from burning out and to call a professional.

This is one of the most common questions we get. Potential unexpected costs include discovering a bigger issue than initially diagnosed, needing to replace a hard-to-find part, or encountering complications due to old or corroded pipework. A good professional will keep you informed of any new findings before proceeding, and this is especially relevant for Centurion residents.
