Water Security & Off-Grid Water Systems
Reliable water is no longer guaranteed. We design and install complete water security systems — rainwater harvesting, water purification, solar water pumping, and storage — giving homes and farms across South Africa true water independence.
Unreliable Water Supply is No Longer Sustainable
Water restrictions, load shedding, and ageing municipal infrastructure are making water security essential — not optional. We design integrated off-grid water systems that ensure your home or farm always has access to clean, stored, and usable water. Whether you need a basic rainwater collection system or a fully integrated off-grid water system, we design and install everything as one complete solution.
Rainwater Harvesting Systems
We design and install complete rainwater harvesting systems that collect, store, and supply reliable water for homes and farms across South Africa.
Water Purification & Filtration Systems
We install water purification and filtration systems that provide clean, safe water from rainwater, boreholes, and municipal supplies.
Solar Water Pumping Systems
We design solar-powered water pumping systems that deliver reliable water pressure and supply without relying on the grid.
Water Storage & Backup Systems
We install correctly sized water storage and backup systems that keep water available when supply interruptions occur.
Off-Grid Water Systems for Total Independence
Our off-grid water systems combine rainwater harvesting, solar water pumping, water purification, and storage into one seamless solution — built specifically for South African conditions. Our off-grid water system designs are perfect for:
Residential homes
Residential homes seeking full water independence
Farms
Farms and smallholdings needing reliable farm water systems
Guesthouses
Guesthouses and Airbnbs requiring uninterrupted supply
Off-grid
Remote and eco properties off the municipal grid
How it works
1
Site Assessment
As your local water system installer, we evaluate your property, water demand, roof catchment area, and existing infrastructure — including borehole and municipal backup options.
2
System Design
We design a custom rainwater harvesting system combining rainwater collection, water storage tanks, home water filters, and solar water systems tailored to your property and budget.
3
Installation
Professional rainwater installation and water system installation — tanks, solar water pumps, filters, pipework, and all components — fully managed from start to finish. We handle complete rainwater tank installation and system commissioning.
4
Support & Maintenance
Ongoing servicing, water filter replacement service, and system optimisation to keep your water security system running reliably long term.

“
For more than 8 years, my family and I have lived completely off-grid on our farm in Keurbooms, Plettenberg Bay, powered entirely by solar energy and harvested rainwater — with no Eskom and no municipal water.
During that time, we have built and connected four homes to a single off-grid system. Three of these homes are very busy Airbnb rentals, providing ongoing real-world testing of the system under varying occupancy and demand.
Living this way every day has given me firsthand insight into what truly works. The solar and water solutions I recommend are based on years of practical experience and a deep understanding of what it takes to achieve reliable, long-term independence.

Frequently Asked Questions
A rainwater harvesting system collects rainwater from your roof, stores it in rainwater harvesting tanks, and distributes it through your home or farm — reducing or eliminating dependence on municipal supply. Rainwater harvesting techniques vary depending on roof size, usage, and whether the system is integrated with purification and solar pumping.
Off-grid water systems range from R25,000 for a basic rainwater tank and pump setup to R150,000+ for a fully integrated rainwater harvesting system with water purification and solar water pumping. We provide a detailed quote after a site assessment.
Yes. Solar water pumps can pressurise and distribute water throughout your home or farm without grid power — making solar powered water systems ideal for load shedding resilience and remote off-grid properties.
Yes. Rainwater collected from rooftops should pass through a water filtration system and water purification system before use as drinking water. We design the right home water filtration systems installation based on your water source and usage requirements.
Quality rainwater tanks typically last 20–30 years with proper rainwater tank installation and routine maintenance. Our water filter replacement service ensures your purification system stays effective throughout.
We install rainwater harvesting systems across the Garden Route — including Plettenberg Bay, Knysna, George, Wilderness, and surrounding farms and estates.
