No matter how you use water, you can benefit from a water supply that is clean, reliable and free by having a borehole on your property. It might seem like a costly investment upfront. However, once you weigh up the pros and cons you will find that this investment provides you with an effective long-term water solution. Helping you make an informed decision on the benefits of such an installation is Aqua Boreholes, the leader in borehole turnkey solutions.
The Invaluable Benefits of Boreholes for Property Owners
As a source of water that has existed for centuries, boreholes provide invaluable benefits to property owners. From saving costs to ensuring water security, it is a valuable asset.
- Cost Savings
Aside from the upfront investment, being independent of a mains water supply means that you won’t be affected by increases in water costs and, as you are tapping into a water source that is free of charge, the only cost to you will be electricity. If the electricity costs remain a concern, rest assured that the amount of electricity required is minimal.
- Saving on Potable Water
Borehole water reduces the demand for your potable water supply. The water is stored in a tank connected to a booster pump pushing water through strategically placed pipelines. By connecting your irrigation system to your borehole, you can keep your grass green and garden beds flourishing all year round. You can even consider planting a veggie patch or two.
- Increasing the Value of Your Property
If at any point you may be considering selling your property, this system is a selling point on your property. Potential buyers see the value in owning a property that has an alternative water source as it provides them with water security. A garden adds aesthetics to the property and when, during water restrictions, you have to rely on municipal water, your outdoor area is dry and unseemly which impacts negatively on your property’s appearance and market value. With a borehole, you can maintain your kerb appeal adding value to your property.
- Improving the Quality of Your Water
Unlike municipal water which needs to be treated with chemical additives, you are tapping into a pure source. One of the greatest benefits of accessing water from the ground is that you get water that is full of natural minerals and chemical-free. You will also feel the difference should you choose to use your borehole system for showering and washing up.
- Providing Water Security
This is the most important benefit of all. As South Africa is considered to be a water-scarce country constantly at risk of experiencing droughts, it is more crucial than ever to have access to a supply of fresh, natural water. Aquifers are natural resources that protect you in times of water shortages.
With all the benefits that come with having a borehole installed, you should be asking yourself “Why haven’t I done this yet?”
Look After Your Liquid Asset
A well-maintained borehole is a cost-effective self-sustaining asset. If properly constructed and well-maintained, your investment should last you over a decade. Contracting the services of a professional company to run routine checks on your system and do any necessary service work means that you will never run into a water shortage. At the end of the day, the lower the demand for municipal water, the less likely there will be water restrictions. You can do your part to decrease the strain on the municipal water supply.
