Wellpoint systems for shallow groundwater supply.
Wellpoint installation and pump control solutions for gardens, irrigation systems and residential groundwater support where site conditions are suitable.
A cost-effective groundwater option for gardens, irrigation and property water support.
Wellpoint systems extract shallow groundwater or seepage water from below the ground surface through a pump placed above the ground.

A wellpoint is ideal for small to medium-sized residential gardens where suitable sandy ground conditions exist within the water table. Installation usually involves drilling to a shallow depth and fitting a pump once the correct depth is reached.
- Typically faster and more cost-effective than deeper borehole systems.
- Useful for garden and irrigation support.
- Best suited to sandy groundwater conditions.
- Can be linked to irrigation systems where water volume is sufficient.
A simple groundwater support system when site conditions are suitable.
We consider soil conditions, water table and access before recommending a wellpoint.
Water is blown through steel pipes until the required shallow depth is reached.
An LDPE pipe with a filter is installed before the steel pipe is removed.
The pump is installed and configured for the intended use.
Pump control unit
A pump control unit helps manage and regulate pump operation, improving reliability and protecting the pump from unwanted operating conditions.
Automatic start and stop: activates the pump when taps are opened and stops it when taps are closed.
Dry run protection: helps prevent damage by shutting off the pump when no water is detected.
Optional extras
- Pump control unit can be fitted for added pump protection.
- Pump covers can help protect equipment from weather exposure.
- Recommendations can be made if water volume is insufficient.
Registration
Boreholes and wellpoints should be registered with the City of Cape Town.
