What we do
Borehole pumps installed properly, sized for your borehole
Loadshedding and water restrictions have made boreholes a must-have for most Pretoria homes. But a borehole is only as good as the pump that drives it. Oversize the pump and you burn motors and run the hole dry. Undersize it and you starve your home, garden and pool of water.
Skynet Pools tests, sizes, supplies and installs submersible borehole pumps from trusted brands. We fit the pump, riser pipe, safety rope, control box, pressure switch and pressure tank, then wire it cleanly through a safe isolator and commission the system.
Our borehole pump installation crews work across Pretoria East, Centurion, Waterkloof, Lynnwood, Menlyn, Garsfontein, Wapadrand, Mooikloof and the surrounding suburbs every week.

Why use Skynet
Borehole pumps fitted to last
Six reasons Pretoria homeowners trust Skynet Pools to install their borehole pumps instead of a generic handyman.
Yield tested first
We flow test your borehole before sizing a pump so the pump never outpaces the water available.
Correctly sized
Pumps are matched to depth, yield and household demand. No oversized motors, no underpowered units.
Clean plumbing
Riser pipe, safety rope, brass fittings and pressure tank installed properly so the system holds pressure and lasts.
Safe wiring
Earth bonding, isolators, control box and dry-run protection wired correctly so motors are not destroyed by faults.
Trusted brands
We supply pumps from brands with local parts and warranty support, so future service is fast and affordable.
Aftercare that lasts
Once installed, we are still on call for service, repairs and pressure tank top-ups. Same number, same team.
Our process
How we install your borehole pump
A clear path from yield test to first flow. You always know what is being fitted, why and what it costs before any work starts.
- 01
Free site visit
We assess the borehole, test water yield, measure depth and ask how you plan to use the water.
- 02
Quote and pump choice
You receive a written, itemised quote with the recommended pump, control box, pressure tank and any plumbing or wiring needed.
- 03
Old pump removal
If a pump is in place, we lift, inspect and remove it. The riser pipe and safety rope are checked for reuse or replacement.
- 04
Lower the new pump
The submersible pump is fitted to riser pipe and safety rope, then lowered to the correct depth and secured.
- 05
Plumb and wire
Wellhead, pressure tank, switch and control box are installed and wired through a safe isolator to the supply.
- 06
Commission and handover
We pressure test, set the cut-in and cut-out pressures, walk you through start, stop and isolation, and leave you with our number.
Borehole setups we install
The right setup for your home
From a single garden tap to a full house water solution, every Skynet borehole install is sized to your actual demand.
Garden borehole
Compact submersible pump and pressure switch for irrigation, lawns and topping up the pool.
Whole-house borehole
Higher flow pump, large pressure tank and filtration so every tap and shower runs off borehole water.
Pool top-up borehole
Right-sized pump and tidy plumbing so your pool stays topped up through Pretoria summers without grid water.
Hybrid borehole and grid
Auto-switch between borehole and municipal water so you always have supply, even if one source fails.
Smallholding borehole
Heavy-duty submersibles for plot owners with bigger gardens, livestock or guesthouses.
Solar-ready borehole
DC and hybrid borehole pumps that run from solar panels for off-grid water security.
What we fit alongside
A borehole pump is more than just a motor
The pump matters, but so do the control box, pressure tank, switches and filters around it. We supply and fit the full setup so your borehole runs cleanly for years.
Pressure tanks
Sized correctly so the pump cycles less, lasts longer and pressure stays steady at every tap.
Control boxes
Quality control boxes with overload, overcurrent and dry-run protection to save the motor from common faults.
Sediment filters
Pre-filters that trap sand and grit before it hits your home plumbing, geyser or pool equipment.

Frequently asked
Borehole pump installation questions, answered
The questions Pretoria homeowners ask us most before booking a borehole pump install.
How long does borehole pump installation take in Pretoria?
A standard borehole pump installation takes 1 working day on site. Replacements are typically done in 4 to 6 hours, while new setups including pressure tank and wiring take a full day. We confirm timing before we arrive.
What does borehole pump installation actually include?
On-site borehole testing, pump sizing, supply of the submersible pump, riser pipe, safety rope, control box, pressure switch, pressure tank, electrical wiring and full commissioning. One team handles every step.
How much does a borehole pump cost in Pretoria?
Pricing depends on borehole depth, water yield, the pump model required and any extras such as pressure tanks or filtration. After a free site visit we send a written, itemised quote so you see every line item.
How long does a borehole pump last?
A correctly sized and installed submersible borehole pump typically lasts 7 to 12 years. Lifespan depends on water quality, run hours and how cleanly the system is wired and protected against dry running.
Can you do a borehole yield test before installing a pump?
Yes. We carry out a flow and yield test on your borehole before sizing a pump. This makes sure the pump matches the water available so it does not run dry and burn out the motor.
Do you also fit pressure tanks and filtration?
Yes. We supply and fit pressure tanks, pressure switches, sediment filters and basic borehole filtration so the water reaching your home is clean, steady and easy on geysers and pool equipment.
Can a borehole pump run from solar?
Yes. We install DC and hybrid borehole pumps that run from solar panels, alone or alongside grid power. Perfect for plots, smallholdings and homes wanting full off-grid water security.
