Where does your property's water come from right now?

🚰

Municipal tap only

100% dependent on the council

🪣

Municipal + rainwater tank

Some backup but still mostly grid

⚡

Borehole + municipal (Eskom pump)

Borehole but it needs electricity

☀️

Solar borehole — fully independent

No Eskom, no municipal needed

🔌

What happens to your water during load shedding?

💀

Taps go dry immediately

No power = no water. Every. Single. Time.

😬

Water runs for a while then stops

I have a pressure tank but it empties fast

😐

Water runs but the borehole doesn't pump

Overhead tank keeps me going for a day or two

Load shedding? What load shedding?

Solar pump keeps running no matter what
